8 Lessons & Workshops in Nebraska That You Shouldn't Miss

October 14, 2021 Christa Meece

Nebraska has something for everyone. From cowboys to wine industry, you’ll find many attractions when you visit this Great Plains state. If you are planning a family vacation to Nebraska, you won’t want to miss the Lincoln Children's Zoo in the state capital. Featuring more than 400 animals, you and the kids can see Amur leopards, Bactrian camels, river otters, eagles, crocodiles, reindeer, and more. At the zoo’s Butterfly Pavilion you can watch as butterflies emerge from their cocoon. The Aquacourt Family Water Park in Hastings features a wave pool, climbing wall and waterslides. In Omaha, Nebraska’s largest city, you won’t want to miss the Omaha Children's Museum. For history buffs, Lincoln is your place. This city is home to the Nebraska History Museum, with permanent exhibits that interpret more than 12,000 years of human experience on the Plains. You can make history personal in Lincoln with a visit to the Nebraska State Historical Society Headquarters, where you can research your family history. Omaha is also home to The Durham Museum, featuring restored train cars, 1940's storefronts and other historical artifacts. For a bit of Nebraska heritage, make sure you visit Front Street and Cowboy Museum in Ogallala and the Tri-State Old Time Cowboys Memorial Museum in Gordon. Learn about the area’s wine industry and history on a Nebraska Cork & Bottle Tour through Raymond, Pawnee City, Lexington and St. Paul, sampling fine wines and taking in the scenic views.

This was an event planned by a vendor for a group in Omaha for Fuel Ethanol Laboratory Conference. I have wanted to try this for a long time. This was the perfect place for my first time! Our instructor was fun and very helpful and encouraging. I was happy with my final painting!! I can’t wait to try it again and hope that the place I choose back home is as fun as the Corky Canvas!!

The Kaneko

Reviewed By 763timg - Los Angeles, United States

Our first experience with Jun Kaneko was to a trip to Scottsdale, AZ. We saw these wonderful egg-like sculptures at the Botanical Gardens and loved them. I posted on a picture on Facebook and one of my ftriends commented that the Omaha Zoo also had similar sculptures but she didn’t mention that Jun Kaneko was based in Omaha. We toured the downtown Kaneko Art Studio and it is wonderful. There is not a lot of Kaneko pieces but I believe there is a effort in place to turn the building across the street into an exhibition space for his work. The Kaneko had five large halls, a gift shop and a wonderful little resource library. The exhibits were combo of Kaneko’s work, multi-media, paintings and works from other ceramic artists. It’s a wonderful museum for modern art and one of my favorite places in Omaha. A definite MUST SEE if you like modern art, ceramics or sculpture.
