About Explore Omaha
Omaha's family-first guide to the city we love
One trustworthy place to find what to do, where to eat, and what's happening this weekend — made for Omaha families, by an Omaha family.
Being a parent in Omaha is a good life — but it comes with a running question: what are we going to do this weekend? The answer is usually scattered across a dozen Facebook groups, outdated blog posts, and word of mouth. We built Explore Omaha to fix that. It's a single, curated, family-first place to discover the best of the Omaha metro, refreshed all the time and written by people who actually live here.
What we cover
- Things to Do — parks, museums, the zoo, splash pads, and free family fun
- Where to Eat — kid-friendly restaurants and where kids eat free
- This Weekend — a running calendar of local family events
- Neighborhoods & Day Trips — Omaha, Papillion, Bellevue, Council Bluffs, and beyond
- Seasonal — pumpkin patches, holiday lights, summer bucket lists, and more
- Date Night — because Omaha parents need time together too
- Omaha History — the stories that make our city ours
Who's behind Explore Omaha
Explore Omaha is owned and operated by Nobility Digital Marketing LLC, a Nebraska company founded by Allan Pettit. We're a small, family-first team that believes the Omaha metro is one of the best places in the country to raise kids — and that local families deserve a resource built with care, not a faceless content mill.
We live here. We're raising our own families here. And we're cheering for the local businesses, parks, churches, and neighborhoods that make this city feel like home. That's the whole spirit of what we do: Your local guide to Omaha's best fun, food, and facts.
