How to Plan Your Omaha Road Trip
Whether you’re looking for a fun weekend getaway or taking a long Midwest road trip that passes through the city, Omaha is home to many fun activities. Families can take their children to Omaha’s -- rated one of the best in the nation. Or, head to Omaha Children's Museum to see some enlightening exhibits.
There are a few other fun museums that are catered to both adults and kids, such as The Durham Museum, as well as fun outdoor activities like the Lauritzen Gardens. Once you’re ready to satisfy your appetite, head to one of Omaha’s best restaurants. Block 16 is a favorite among both locals and tourists, while M’s Pub is the perfect place to wind down after a busy day out in the city.
What to Bring on a Road Trip
Aside from ensuring that your Subaru Ascent service or Crosstrek maintenance essentials are addressed prior to your road trip, there are a few other factors you'll want to properly prepare for. We recommend you bring emergency supplies to be safe, as well as any comfort items that might enhance the journey.
