Omaha, Nebraska
Home to the world’s largest indoor desert and an expansive glass-enclosed garden, Omaha is exactly where you’ll want to be this season. In fact, most activities in this Midwestern city are both reasonably priced and pedestrian-friendly. You can wander through the Gene Leahy Pedestrian Mall, a 10-acre park with lagoons and waterfalls, go for a stroll across the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge (and stick one foot in Nebraska & the other in Iowa), and take a free walking tour of Omaha’s public art, which seems to stampede right through the city!
