    This is one of the best local visitor centers I've ever visited. Located in the Old Market area of downtown Omaha, this visitor center had a wealth of information on Omaha, central Nebraska and the surrounding areas. The center is staffed by volunteers and the gentleman we talked to was a retiree from the Union Pacific Railroad and it was obvious that he loved working at the visitors center and that he loved talking about Omaha and the State of Nebraska. The other staff seemed equally engaged and enthused about their jobs. If you're in downtown Omaha and you're looking for something to do, be sure to stop by this visitors center to learn about everything the area has to offer.

    Lots of brochures.

    Amazing visitor center! With covid, they were able to let us know what was open or closed. Very helpful! We had the kids with us and they suggested we hit the Hollywood candy shop. They were spot on! Great find!! Highly recommend stopping in and grabbing some travel tips!

    My friend and I went here about 1 1/2 weeks ago. It was a small museum, but was still cool to drop…read moreby here. When we went inside, the nice guy told us we could either go walk the big bridge outside in the back which goes over the Missouri River or to watch the 25 minute Lewis & Clark adventures video. We chose to walk the bridge which was really cool. When getting to the middle of the bridge, you could put one foot on the state of Nebraska and the other foot on the Iowa side! It also was a beautiful view in and direction you looked from here. After we walked back into the museum and watched the 25 min film. It was a good short film and very informative. Was glad we watched it to see some of our US History. There was just a few items to look at inside. Plain and simple museum! Restroom was nice and clean. Nice people work here, security was really nice too. Must check out if you are ever in the Omaha area near Omaha Airport!

    This building is mostly offices. There's not a lot to see inside except for the gift shop, a small…read moretheater, and maps on the wall of the Lewis and Clark trail. They have also the unigrids (brochures) that you can find in each of the National Parks. The gift shop has nice items like badges, magnets, shirts, caps, books, national parks passports, animal/insect figures, stuffed toys, pens, etc. The rangers were very nice and answered questions well. They can allow you to see the 25-minute video about the Lewis and Clark expedition which was very informative. You can access the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge at the back from here where you can find the Nebraska/Iowa state line.

    Winter Quarters Visitors Center is NOT in Council Bluffs, Iowa.The correct address is 3215 State…read moreStreet, Omaha. It's 15 minutes from this Council Bluffs location. Winter Quarters is a terrific 30-75 minute visit with a 16 min video, visitors center, and the cemetery. And it's free. The kids love pushing the handcart and the log cabin and the covered wagon. The museum tells the story of Winter Quarters and also about the 90,000 pioneers traveling the 1300 miles from Nauvoo to Salt Lake from 1846-1890. A really cool interactive map shows all the different companies coming by wagon, handcart, train, and over the oceans by steamship and sailing ship- so you can look for the company your ancestor traveled in. You can find who is buried in the cemetery, maybe it's your great grandmother! This is a great place to learn about the pioneers heritage. The guides are so pleasant and helpful.
