10 Things to Do in Omaha During Berkshire Hathaway Weekend

1.  Dig into a Tender Omaha Steak - No trip to Omaha is complete without a steak. Visit one of Omaha’s legendary steakhouses and feed your hunger – whether you prefer your cut flame-broiled, wood fire-grilled, or whiskey-doused. Even Mr. Buffett is a fan. Pro tip: Reservations are recommended during Berkshire weekend.

2.  Go Bobbing on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge - Snap a selfie while standing in two states at once (Iowa and Nebraska) on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. Congrats: You’re Bobbing! Shareholders love this Instagram-worthy stop near downtown, one of many attractions within walking distance from CHI Health Center Omaha.

3.  Shop Omaha’s Local Favorites - From locally made goods to upscale fashion, Omaha offers standout shopping experiences and inspiring gift ideas. Explore Made in Omaha for handcrafted local items. Head to Borsheims for a shiny souvenir. Or visit the legendary Nebraska Furniture Mart for a gift for your home: The furniture retailer delivers to 47 states!

4. Delight in Omaha's Sweets Scene - From handmade chocolates and cupcakes to ice cream and donuts, Omaha’s dessert destinations are ready to sweeten your day. Local favorites include Coneflower Creamery, Sweet Magnolias and Olsen Bake Shop.

5.  Take a Backstage Tour at Omaha’s Zoo - Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is consistently ranked one of the best in the world. During select dates, you can go behind the scenes to learn how to feed sharks and rays, meet giraffes at eye level, or attend a private animal training session. Go ahead: Get wild.

6.  Relax at The RiverFront - The RiverFront, a $325 million recently completed project, has transformed downtown into a hub of outdoor fun. Spanning three connected parks – Gene Leahy Mall, Heartland of America Park and Lewis and Clark Landing – you’ll find live concerts, splash pads, sculpture gardens, a Skate Ribbon, an urban beach and bocce courts. Walk the Farnam Pier to the Missouri River or explore the Kiewit Luminarium, a hands-on science and tech museum. The three parks bridge Omaha’s Old Market Entertainment District with North Downtown.

7.  Taste the Original Reuben Sandwich - The Reuben sandwich – that decadent rye bread, corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut with creamy dressing flavor bomb – was invented in Omaha’s Blackstone Hotel (now Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel). Locals have been perfecting it ever since. Find delicious Reuben riffs at Crescent Moon, Barrett’s Barleycorn and Dundee Dell.

8.  Discover a Favorite New Brew in Omaha - Omaha’s craft beer makers invite you to belly up to the bar to sample their best. Request a Craft Brew Penny Pack and enjoy BOGO-for-a-penny deals at 12 local breweries. It’s a fun and flavorful way to explore Omaha.

9.  Stroll the Old Market Entertainment District - Just blocks from the CHI Health Center, the Old Market Entertainment District teems with boutiques, galleries, street performers and chef-driven restaurants.

10.  Visit the Expanded Joslyn Art Museum - Home to more than 12,000 works of art spanning 5,000 years, Joslyn Art Museum is an Omaha cultural cornerstone. Thanks to a new 42,000-square-foot expansion, there's even more to explore. And best of all for money-savvy shareholders? Admission – and group tours – are always free.
