14 Highlights of Omaha

A lively restored warehouse district, top-notch attractions such as Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, and a revitalized waterfront have given this Midwest city a cool new vibe.

Boys Town

The Rev. Edward J. Flanagan started Boys Town in 1917, with just five troubled boys in his charge. Today, hundreds of kids live at the nonprofit's pastoral main campus. The community operates its own police and fire departments and schools. It welcomes visitors for self-guided tours. An audio driving tour includes two chapels, Father Flanagan's house and a museum (800/625-1400; boystown.org)
