You’re probably pumped to get to FIM Summit this year because of all the unstoppable badassery. Right? Thought so. But maybe you’re a little unsure of what Omaha has to offer.
Listen, we’ve heard your questions and have seen you scratch your head while you googled “stuff to do in Omaha.” You don’t need to go that route. We’ll save you the trouble.
Here’s a quick guide to some other things to do other than attending the FIM Summit and hanging out with your fellow FIMers. So grab adventure with both hands and get to Omaha for a new experience!
(And if you haven’t registered yet, go here to get that off your to-do list.)
The Old Market
This lively district is lined with cobblestone streets and features boutiques, art galleries, and antique shops. The historic architecture in The Old Market creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxing and spending some downtime when not at summit.
The Old Market’s historic buildings also include loads of restaurants, bars, and cafés. From fine dining to casual eateries, this area has it all!
Joslyn Castle
Another historic gem in Omaha is the Joslyn Castle. It’s a stunning 35-room, Scottish-style mansion built in the early 1900s. It’s set on a 5.5-acre estate that’s packed with gorgeous gardens and perfectly preserved rooms. This historic site is a captivating spot to explore while taking a quick break… a quick clarity break!
The Durham Museum
It’s a museum in an old train station. Crazy! Located in Omaha’s beautifully restored Union Station, The Durham Museum takes you back in time where you’ll find magnificent passenger trains from the 1940s and ’50s. You’ll also learn about the local and regional history through the engaging exhibits and interactive experiences. It’s a must-visit attraction for all history buffs.
Lauritzen Gardens
Lauritzen Gardens is a stunning botanical garden that provides a tranquil and serene experience. We know it’ll be November when you’re there for summit, but a stroll on some of the garden paths may be just what you need to let all your newly learned FIMformation sink in!
The garden spans over 100 acres and has various themed areas including a rose garden, a woodland trail, and a model railroad garden. If you need a quiet retreat, this is the place.
Culinary Experience Omaha
Distance from hotel – It varies
If you’re looking for a truly unique experience, consider dining at one of Omaha’s eccentric culinary establishments. There are monastery-inspired steakhouses and horror-themed pubs, and everything in between. Our recommendation, check out the Durham Museum’s Soda Fountain and Candy Shop. It’s old school, and perfect!
Wrap It Up
While FIM Summit IS the main attraction, take on something new and fun! Jump in with both feet and immerse yourself in new culture, new food, and all things FIM! Grab your summit tickets here and go experience Omaha!
