The national anthem players were only given the number of tickets of musicians who performed, so their families had to purchase if they wanted to attend. I Sat with a friend who had a clubhouse connection, so was able to enjoy the food and non-alcoholic drinks they had which was perfect! Overall, I love the World Series, and living in Omaha Try to make it down each year, but, from what I've heard from the performers, their perks for performing get worse every year. Still a great experience, and totally worth it, but it would be nice to see them get a free plus one ticket or anything aside from their own entrance covered!

Dad and I visited the Historic General Dodge House as a bookend to our trip to the nearby Union…read morePacific Railroad Museum. The house was built in 1869 and stands near downtown Council Bluffs as a stunning (and refurbished) architectural marvel. This was the home of Grenville M. Dodge, a Union Army general, politician, and a major figure in the development of the railroads across the American West. He was also a trusted counsellor to Presidents (Grant and Lincoln) and even served a term in Congress. Whether you want to drive by, walk around, or lose a couple hours inside, this place is well worth the visit. Also, don't miss the August Beresheim House right next door.

What a way to spend an afternoon in early November! When we walked up to the Beresheim House next…read moredoor to get tickets, we were immediately greeted and welcomed. What a way to set the stage for a wonderful tour. There were helpful movies to view, gifts to buy, and two lovely houses to see. Free parking across the street made access easy. The Dodge House was completed in 1869. The Victorian Age had traveled across to America; new inventions, ideas, exploration and expansion, and technology were on the rise. This growth and the industrial revolution can be witnessed throughout these museums. There are tour guides and pamphlets to take you back to the time period. The tour guides are well-educated in this period of history and explain details so thoroughly! The trees were in full autumn glory and Christmas decorations were going up! The tour guides are so knowledgeable. And the tour is amazing! The history, rooms, and antiques in this house are very interesting. So much to see; you'll want to come back again!

We came recently for the last Night Market of the year and while it wasn't as busy/crowded as I was expecting, it was still a lot of fun! There was a band, several little shops, and even a little library through OPL where you could sign up for card or check out a book. I'm looking forward to more events here and interested in seeing what all they offer for fall and winter!

This garden is a beautiful addition to this area by the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts…read more There had been some really weirdly not-useful parking lots here. This is a great replacement. I - well, I do hate to complain about free amenities, but I will anyway - the hours for this place are kind of strange. I think 9am - 6pm. So people who work, even in the downtown area, are not really able to visit. So that is a huge drawback which really does make their usage of the term "public garden" seem inappropriate. I am HOPING that in the future there will be longer hours of operation. I do also have to say that the garden was awkward to visit during the hot days in summer as there are no shade structures and no mature trees. So it would have been really pleasant in the early morning or evening if it was open then. It has kind of an unfinished feeling right now because the design did not include a fence, and apparently it needs a fence, so a somewhat unsightly temporary fence is still in place. But, sometimes these things just take time to develop. There is a lot of seating, and there are public bathrooms and a drinking fountain; all these things had been missing from this area and they are definitely appreciated! With the development in the Little Bohemia creative district, this is a really nice way to (almost) tie it to the Old Market neighborhood.

I fully intend to go to more ballets and upcoming events here, as I had a great experience, as did my family. The ticket prices are less than expected for a ballet, and when seated on the floor you can see the stage very clearly. The second time I went we were on the balcony, albeit near the back, and I much prefer being seated on the floor. The theatre itself is beautiful; the architecture and inner design is gorgeous to look at, take pictures in, and marvel at before the show as well as during intermission. The bathrooms are accessible and there are drinks and small refreshments available. It isn't a huge selection so don't come on an empty stomach, but they are nice to nibble on throughout the show. I have not had the best experience with the mixed drinks, and they tend to be overly strong, which is not my preference whatsoever. It can be overwhelming and my last drink I could not finish and ended up tossing. Overall, I would highly recommend supporting our local arts and taking an outing to go see a ballet here. It is such a fun girly activity, and can be done decently affordable. Take the opportunity to get dressed up, take pics before the ballet, and enjoy a great show here!
