Our family has done 3 rooms at locked room and we have had a great experience each time. Highly recommend Titanic and fresh meat, very creative and overall great experiences! We have also done the wine room and would only recommend for beginners as it was not quite as intricate but still a good overall experience!
3. Heartland of America Park

This 31-acre park runs through the heart of Omaha along the Missouri River.

Nice park to sit down and relax in. Our favorite spot was the bench with the large fountain in front of us. There are many ducks and geese there who are used to being fed by people. They will come close to you, but won't bother you. The surrounding area is under construction as the city is building a huge new river walk, but the area around the pond is still nice to visit.

We went at the end of October and while we saw birds and some late flowers, we missed the butterflies and other plants. It was still well worth the trip and is definitely on our list of stops in early spring.

We visited Beercade after dinner for a quick one. It has a great draft and bottle/can selection. Even some rare beers.... the decor and environment made it a perfect hang out with plenty of vintage arcade and pinball games. Cool place!
7. Hot Shops Art Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 94 reviews
Reviewed By PriusGirlVA - Arlington, United States
I love visiting Hot Shops when I am in Omaha. The building is funky and has a great "vibe". The artists keep their own hours in their shops, so it is totally hit and miss who you will find working there and which studios will be open. If "random" isn't your thing, Hot Shops might not be for you. But if you like unique art and meeting the people who make it - GO! They have an open house around the Christmas/Chanukah holiday every year, so follow them on social media and be sure to check that out.

Super secret entrance that they make you work for and is absolutely worth it. Drinks were on point and the garnishes out of this world. Sexy for a perfect date night or special occasion.
