Be a Virtual Visitor

When you can't visit them, Omaha’s renowned attractions can come to you.

Virtual activities give “travel” new meaning by offering opportunities for mini getaways from the comfort of home. Before your in-person visit, enjoy virtual experiences from top Omaha attractions – kind of like "try before you fly (or drive)." So get comfy, relax, and explore Omaha from your screen thanks to a wide range of virtual offerings.
