Farmers Market was great this year...so many booths were sold out..but I managed to buy a variety pack of fresh mushrooms for a great meal...some yummy puppy treats and some carrot base sauce instead of red marinara sauce. Gorgeous day for Aksarben Village day! So many yummy things to taste and specialty coffees, lemonade, ciders, etc...pastries were looking amazing ..the flowers were absolutely gorgeous, next time we need to get their EARLY! For this pet people I think the best part it was furbaby friendly read more

Our Mother started out in independent living at Aksarben and then ultimately moved to Memory Care at Meadowlark. She loved living there so much and told us all the time how wonderful her experience was and how kind the staff was. We do not live in Omaha and when her Alzheimer's progressed they made us feel so comforted by her care. Thank you for what I believe was about 10 years at an amazing place! read more

We usually love staying here and were having a great stay until today. We used points which were earned but we're paying for the 5th night so had to check out and recheck in. The non-counter clerk was not as appreciative, wanted to see ID again no big deal, but had to hand her my card to swipe..... really WTF I couldn't keep her germs off my card and swipe myself which she demanded....then asked me where I worked as if being interrogated. As we were on our 5th night, and no housekeeping asked for it, but nothing.... Had to take our trash out and continue to go downstairs to get clean towels. This location is great but the person at the front desk this morning might need customer service training. read more

I moved to Aksarben Village in 2013 and lived in the Pinhook apartments, I've since moved out and into Northwest Omaha, but since 2013, I've continued to live love and laugh in Aksarben. It's amazing almost 10 years later you've still got your staples; the movie theatre, Ponzu, DJ's, Jones Bro, LIV LOUNGE?! Who would have thought. The park remains in prestine condition, more and more massive buildings have popped up with so many great spots to get your nails done, have brunch, shop, go to the doctor. Aksarben Village has thrived in this part of town. The farmers market has grown substantially, and theirs no end to the amount of entertainment happening every weekend. This village is different than a lot of other Omaha neighborhoods where there is endless things to do. If you haven't spent a Sunday exploring the area, I highly suggest it. read more

I love my new job here the employees are so helpful..just love the residents that live here. Such a beautiful place and feels like home.. excellent food and staff.. read more

There is a lot to do in this neighborhood area. We recently came with our grandkids to play on the playground after stopping by the farmers market. We played for a long time before we decided to eat at the inner rail food hall. It was a tough choice since there are just so many eateries near by. The farmers market is really cool by the areana. The parking is free and there are a few garages to park in. I love the local plant shop and I look forward to seeing more places pop up read more

Aksarben Village - Parks Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Where do I begin and where do I end?? Aksarben Village continues to get better and better! Whether it's Roast for some coffee, Juice Stop for a healthy drink or Pauli's and DJ's for something a bit stronger, this is the place to be! Movie Theater, check; Fitness Center, check. Places for Sushi, Pizza, Thai, Tacos, Burgers and wine? Yep! And that's just for this moment in time. There is construction north of 67th Street for even MORE businesses and restaurants. Did I mention that MAHA Music Festival happens here in August and other concerts in Stinson Park throughout the Summer? There are also a couple of Omaha B-Cycle stations so you can catch the Keystone Trail and head north or south on a nice day. Too bad this place isn't near some really cool arena where the UNO Mavs can play their home hockey games and you could walk to or from Aksarben Village. . . never mind! read more

Aksarben Village - Mavs pre-game pep rally - Parks Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Aksarben Village has really made a once sleepy little midtown neighborhood a city-wide destination. A mixed used development, AV boasts a growing number of shops, restaurants and bars, not to mention office space, a couple hotels and many tastefully urban apartments. Plus, Stinson Park is the home to several wonderful local events such as Omaha Beer Fest and the Maha Music Festival, to name only a couple. If you don't remember, AV sits on former site of the Aksarben arena and horse track, which were both incredibly successful in their heydays (probably 1960s-1980s). But the '90s brought nothing but waves of neglect to the once proud property. UNO began their south campus expansion. The Scott Technology Center and dorms went up nearby. As did some new office space for First Data. The arena was torn down. Then the horse track. Soon, plans were made for the ambitious mixed used project, but were scaled back largely thanks to the economic downturn of the mid-2000s. Even so, slowly but surely AV is breaking ground on the few empty plots of land that are left. In the end, when all the land is fully developed (hopefully in a couple years), this will be a one of Omaha's most vibrant neighborhoods to visit morning, day or night. The obelisk is kind of freaky in a Masonic/New World Order kind of way though. read more

Aksarben Village - Parks Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

When I moved to the neighborhood nearly 5 years ago, I knew the area was growing and developing but it has far exceeded my expectations. At the time, Stinson Park was there as well as Wohlner's (now Spirit World & Voodoo Taco), Mai Tai, Learning HQ, the gym and a few other shops and businesses. Now there are several more businesses, a movie theater, a variety of restaurants, clothing shops, hair salon and nail salon. I've seen the Sunday Omaha Farmer's Market grow as well as the number of events and festivals. The development is always clean, well-tended and feels safe. Several "mutt mitt" dispensers are provided to pick up dog waste. I frequently bring my four-legged friend here throughout the year but it's especially nice in the winter because it's always shoveled unlike many city parks. Their slogan "Where there is always something going on" really fits! read more

This is my go-to place for everything! If anyone is visiting Omaha I always tell them to stay/go to Aksarben Village. It has two fun lounge bars, two sports bars, a coffee shop, juice bar, shopping, nail salons and my favorite- concerts and the farmers market! All with plenty of parking! You could have breakfast, lunch, dinner, go out AND a fourth meal if you wanted to. It's walkable + kid and dog friendly!!! Can't say enough GREAT things! read more

There's always something interesting to do here and I appreciate the number of dog friendly stores and restaurants. This place is always on my watch list for fun weekend events. read more

Have patience with street crossings, signs, or courtesy of parked drivers getting in and out of the spots that you can't clearly see to get out of. Hopefully it widens because omg the clutter of rapid growth. read more

The Juice stop serves veggies! Also love the theater tho' the food is below nutritional standards. The area is flanked on the south by the magnificent Baxter auditorium, home of the Maverick hockey of UNO. They invited many alumni to the opening followed by the Aksarben ball. Still miss the old but the area is classy. Not sure my collie felt comfortable there because we didn't run into any other canines. What a modern revival but "what's the tall edifice on the outskirts?" Asked our great niece from down under. A return visit to check out whose name is on the needle is in order. read more
