Fodor's Expert Review Lauritzen Gardens
Although Omaha’s sunny summer days are perfect for visiting this lush botanical garden on the west bank of the Missouri River, its large selection of four-season plants makes it a popular attraction even during cooler months. It’s a good place to learn about flora, and it offers a number of different adult and children’s courses throughout the year on everything from floral arranging to nature crafting. You can take a tram ride through the 100-acre park from May through October.
