Default Omaha: What not to miss (if anything!)

I will be heading to Omaha, and figured that if there is anything not to miss there I should find out ahead of time. Any ideas from the CP brethren?

Thanks !!

When are you headed this way? Depending on the time of year there are a couple of things to do.

Growing up as a fan of the Calgary Zoo I wasn't too eager to go to the Zoo in Omaha, but it is far and away better than Calgary's. It's actually ranked higher than San Diego's.

I leave tomorrow and am there until Sunday. I have some stuff booked, but some free time and figured that someone on here would point me in the right direction!

I will golf at the players club Friday and I guess check out the market on Saturday. I'm there for the Berkshire-Hathaway AGM though....as most people this weekend are I suppose!

There are a number of events tied into the Berkshire-Hathaway weekend. Huge deals for share holders at Nebraska Furniture Mart and Borscheims. The Old market is nice with a lot of unique shops. PM me if you need anything while in Omaha.
