Our family has done 3 rooms at locked room and we have had a great experience each time. Highly recommend Titanic and fresh meat, very creative and overall great experiences! We have also done the wine room and would only recommend for beginners as it was not quite as intricate but still a good overall experience!

On top of this just being a super fun and unique activity, everyone @craft was awesome! Super friendly, helpful (especially with some throwing lessons, because it was my first time). We even met some local pros who let me throw their fancy axes! Highly recommend! This place would make for a great first date! 100% going back!

The museum and gift shop was lovely, and the lady working it was very genuine and kind. Unfortunately the cathedral had a wake happening when I visited so I didn’t go past the first set of pews.

I had a tour group there for the tour of the campus and we loved it. Father Flanagans home and the history building are so interesting. The church is beautiful as well. Our guide Pam did a wonderful job telling us about the history, present and future plans for Boys Town.

Beautiful art deco building, a pleasant well designed sculpture garden in front, and the Chihuly glass sculptures in the main entrance are well presented. The collection is solid, with some excellent Native American and western art as the showpieces, but not the only attraction. When visiting on a morning in the middle of the week it was a joy to move around in such an uncrowded space, although it makes you worry about its financial viability. No charge for the permanent collection. And the café is a real added bonus. If in downtown Omaha would consider going here just for the food in a pleasant setting.
