Ten Ideas for an Epic Omaha Galentine's Day

Indulge in a day of pampering with your pal. Book a spa package at Urbane Salon & Day Spa in the Old Market. We recommend the Elegant Package, which includes a couple’s 30-minute facial, 30-minute massage, spa manicure, spa pedicure and light lunch. Find more Omaha spas here.

You’re never too old to play tea party with girlfriends. Relax with a fragrant pot of tea, and dig into decadent bites. The Bubbly Tart offers private and group seating tea parties. Pastry chef-owner Chelsie Schroeder handcrafts sweet and savory offerings you’ll adore. Chocolat Abeile pairs their teas with handcrafted chocolates. Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel hosts high tea daily. 

The journey of friendship is often an adventurous one – and a great friend inspires you to be brave. This Galentine’s, tackle a new challenge together while getting in a workout. Climb a rock wall, try an aerial hammock class, or learn to swing dance at the Jitterbugs’ Pink Party.

Savor a drink as sweet as your friendship at Laka Lono Rum Club. Or celebrate your inner sparkle at Sips on 10^th, a cozy wine and bubbles bar with delicious happy hour snacks. Cham Pang Lanes offers adorable cocktails and duckpin bowling. 

Grab your friends and get creative at Galentine's Day Fundraiser at Hot Shops Art Center on Feb. 22. This lively, art-filled evening is part shopping spree, part hands-on experience — and all for a great cause. Browse handmade goods from talented local artisans, sip and snack as you wander the studios, catch live art demonstrations and snap a festive photo with your crew. 

Still looking for the perfect match? Check out the city’s pro women’s volleyball teams, the Omaha Supernovas and LOVB Nebraska. 

Sharing a delicious meal is a delightful activity with friends – making that meal together adds the ingredient of fun. Sur la Table's classes range from French bistro favorites to sushi. Looking for something simpler? Consider a cookie decorating class at Lauritzen Gardens. 

Grab your best go-ahead-and-buy-it buddy and explore one of Omaha’s many Valentine’s Day themed pop up shops hosted at venues such as Four Sisters Boutique, Corkscrew Wine & Cheese (Rockbrook and Blackstone locations) and The Empire Room. 

On Thursday evenings, Kiewit Luminarium is for adults only. Night Light is a chance for adults to play with more than 100 interactive exhibits illuminating concepts in chemistry, biology, physics, economics and more.  Bring your most curious friend to experience the wonder with you.

Your friendship warms you like the sun. Now venture out together in search of vitamin D – and vitamin N for nature. Read up on the best places to hike in Omaha here, or find inspiration for cold-weather outdoor fun here.
