Well the Henry Doorly zoo is a popular choice - right across from Rosenblatt field. Parking can be tough when the CWS is on though.

How about the Strategic Air Command Museum in Ashland - about 30 mins from downtown - http://www.strategicairandspace.com/

A tour of %26#39; Boy%26#39;s Town %26#39; might be in order if you are trying to educate and inform - now called %26#39; Girls and Boys Town %26#39; .

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will look at all of these. Now, Places to eat ? Do you know the amount of food 14 year old , active teeagers consume ? Nothing formal. Family atmosphere. Great prices and food.

Thanks, again

Not sure where you will be staying, that might help. Are you coming for the CWS or a different tournament? Hope you have your rooms reserved !

You might look into this place for food and fun:

Or Dave %26amp; Busters.

For cheaper eats without fun and games , any of the Valentino%26#39;s locations might be good they have an all you care to eat pizza buffet for one price ( also has a salad bar , pasta, etc ) that would be reasonable.

Maybe other folks here have suggestions our kids are grown and we hit spots more for grown ups !

I agree - do not leave Omaha without going to the zoo - one of the best in the country. Go early to avoid CWS traffic, pack a lunch and spend the day. Spaghetti Works is a good family restaurant, Old Market. Mi Mama%26#39;s Pizzeria has large tables and a gameroom - popular family place. Papillion (Omaha suburb) has a big, new waterpark if you want a day of swimming. Western Heritage Museum is wonderful, but it depends on the audience.

I%26#39;ll second what was said above...definately go to the zoo.

My kids are right in that age range, and Amazing Pizza Machine is one of their faves. Hubby and I like it because it is owned by Valentino%26#39;s so the quality of the food is a bit better. Do note, however, this is like a Chuck E Cheese...half the restaurant (which is HUGE) is devoted to arcade games, but there are lots that early teens would enjoy. It does get pricey, so check out the web site for prices.

The SAC Museum is great too. There are all the planes that are on permenant display, but also rotating displays as well that are very good. In addition to the water park at Papillion at the same exit as the SAC Museum is Mahoney State Park which also has a pool, wave pool and water slides. The cost for day passes into the state park are fairly inexpensive.

Although noting that you are from Texas Hill Country, our ';water parks'; are more like a glorified city park compared to your Schliterbaun (sp?).

Lisa

One word.....';Paulie%26#39;s';. You have to go here at least once after the evening games. This is where the party is at.

In-Play: just northwest of the Qwest Center. It%26#39;s very Dave %26amp; Buster%26#39;s-ish (i.e. arcade games, food, etc.)

Fun Plex: Omaha%26#39;s very own water park. It%26#39;s no Ocean%26#39;s of Fun, but I think will suffice for 14-year-old boys. Located on South 72nd St. (i hope that%26#39;s right).

If any of your kids skateboard or rollerblade there%26#39;s an excellent free city park at 76th and Cass, Robert%26#39;s Park.

The Zoo is a must see, they%26#39;ve got a 3D IMAX movie playing now.

It%26#39;ll be hot. Linoma Beach is located between Omaha and Lincoln and has floating trampolines, iceburgs, etc. Great time for that age, open til 6. It%26#39;s also right by the SAC museum and the drive through wild-life safari.

Do not take 14 year olds to Pauli%26#39;s. That%26#39;s for the college drinking set.

Wish our son was still in Omaha. we would be there to see the Beavers
