6 Ideas for an Omaha Mother’s Day

Celebrate Mom this Mother’s Day with a stroll through the stunning galleries at Joslyn Art Museum. Thoughtful, inspiring, and free -- it's the perfect way to share beauty and time together. Take a guided tour for an especially enriching experience. 

Take Mom out for a shopping spree – and show your support for women. Visit women-owned Omaha businesses, where you can sample hand-blended teas, dig into savory hand pies, shop for darling stationery, lose yourself in stacks of books, and treat yourself to a new outfit or handbag.  

Chocolate can stimulate the chemical effect of being in love. Let your mom know how much you love her with a sweet treat. Start with a trip to Chocolat Abeille. The family-owned chocolatier combines fresh flavors and nature-inspired designs into delicately crafted works of art. Next, visit The Cordial Cherry which offers whimsical chocolate-covered cherry cordials that are almost too pretty to eat. Notice we said “almost.”

Channel your creativity with Mom at Hot Shops Art Center, which offers a variety of experiences for adults, children and groups in various mediums – from pottery to jewelry and glass blowing to photography. Or, if you prefer to pair your art making with wine, head to The Corky Canvas in Omaha’s Midtown Crossing neighborhood, where you and Mom can paint a spring scene.

You know your mom is out-of-this-world amazing. Show her how over the moon you are for her by taking her to Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum, where you two can play like you're astronauts for the day at Mission: Astronaut. Who's Mommy's star kiddo now? 

You’ve likely stressed your mom out at least a few times during your lifetime. Help de-stress her with a gift certificate to one of Omaha’s splendid spas. In the Old Market, Urbane Salon and Day Spa offers packages that include a massage, facial, manicure and pedicure using Aveda products. In Northwest Omaha, Oasis Massage and Spa also offers packages with facials, massages, body polishes and wraps.
