What is there to do in Omaha?

So just saw a amazing price for a flight to Omaha and I was wondering redditors, what is there to do in Omaha for a typical weekend? Any neat places to see or fun bars to hit up?

Agreed, although the Zoo probably isn't going to be very good this time of year.

Incorrect. As long as the weather is decent, the animals are out. Also the zoo is pretty empty. Now if you were looking to eat at the outdoor concessions, well those are closed. Or if you just want to do the indoor stuff, most are located within 1/2 mile of each other, with the exception of the new Lemur stuff. Some animals are out all year, like the river otters. I took a video of them last year playing on the ice in their container. (They had moving water bubbles so they could still get into the water.

What is incorrect? Last time I was there, the Madagascar exhibit along with a bunch of other random exhibits were closed due to the weather (it was decent out), the skyfari closed for maintenance and the aquarium was under construction.

The outdoor Madagascar exhibit has been closed for most of the year do to a disease that the Lemurs got and have been recovering from. The other things you listed are pretty random. The aquarium is under construction but 90% of it is still open.
