Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I've been here numerous times and I am just not a fan at all of…read morethe design of this venue. It seems horribly laid out, almost every time I go, we go the wrong direction to our seats because signs don't direct you properly and are confusing, even venue staff seem confused at how to direct you to your seats. This results in a lot of backtracking as the venue is huge. Most seats are nice but the very upper bowl is very steep, terrifying and never a desirable spot to be in. More recently, I've gone to Disney on ICE and have become even more unimpressed that they have zero diaper changing tables--it's just a hard counter out in the open. One time I even walked to the family bathroom, still a counter. I understand that most shows/events here aren't exactly for small children but to not even have that accessibility is wrong (and then expect people to bring in clear bags so your child doesn't have a cover/cushion at all to change them on). Seems like this would be a minor adjustment the venue could make to improve quality, and it can't be that expensive with all of the money they make on parking and concessions . Pros are of course that it is a big venue that gets decent shows and service from concession staff has always been friendly, even during packed shows.

Rascal Flatts put on a great concert! It was Awesome!

We visit the arena every 4 years for Swim Trials. This time, our son made the cuts to participate…read morein the meet. Both sets of grandparents wanted to watch. They are older and walk with canes. They cannot walk long distances. We ordered what TicketMaster called Special Needs seating. There were absolute no signs about an ADA entrance. (We later found the entrance the next day.) There was also NO signage about the bag policy until you are in the doors. I have elderly parents with bags and we are then pushed to the side trying to figure out what to do with bags. We had a hotel shuttle drop us off. The best is when we walked a fair distance (over 1,000 feet) from the security area to scan our tickets. We were then informed the special needs tickets were "upgraded" and we had to see guest services. This means more walking for our parents. There are no seats to temporarily stage our parents while someone runs to guest services (it is not close to the ticket scanning area). Needless to say, it is clear the arena does not understand or care about the "special needs" attendees. Very disappointed with the customer service from the events center.

Just an awesome ice-skating rink/loop and venue for everybody! Skate rentals available on site…read more Plenty of grab bars for anyone that's feeling a little insecure. This year-round facility offers ice-skating in winter months and rollerskating in nicer weather. Plenty of places to people watch. Located next to the ConAgra campus and near the old market allows for plenty of restaurant food options before and/or after a little fresh air. Metered street (free on Sundays and holidays) and nearby garage parking is available. Recommend this venue for a little bit of outdoor fun! Open daily after 11 AM, check website for any updates.

I look forward to this event every year!…read more If you don't know this is a month long charity event held downtown. It supports the food banks and money raised from the rink goes to feed hungry mouths. Each ticket is $5 per person even if you bring your own skates. They do accept credit cards and you are encouraged to bring shelf stable items for donations that you put in this big blue bins. Kids under 5 are free. There is a very over priced "cafe" that I've never gotten anything at; a tiny glass of swiss miss cocoa is $2.00. A small hot dog is like $5.00 but I think it comes with chips(?) There are a couple big red tents set up where you can sit and hang out if skating isn't your thing and sometimes they have performances. The photos I uploaded were from one of them. Some of them I think are going to the Olympics they were really good! The cutest one was a who and the Grinch. So adorable!! The rink itself is okay, I wish it was bigger to be honest with you but you do with what you have. I also wish they'd smooth it out more often because after awhile it gets very liquidy and grooved. Makes skating kinda scary if you're like me and very uncoordinated. Be prepared to sign a waiver also, if you hurt yourself don't plan on suing ConAgra or anyone else at this place. If you bring a child you must sign a waiver for them and if you bring someone else's child THEIR parent or legal guardian must sign it and they bring it to the rink. You are not allowed to do it for them. You can download and print the waivers off the website. Again please keep in mind this is a holiday event and for 2014 the hours were: Friday, December 12 through Sunday, January 4, 2015 Sunday - Thursday: 1 - 10 pm Friday & Saturday: 1 pm - midnight Christmas Eve & New Year's Eve: 1 - 5 pm Closed Christmas & New Year's Day To wrap it up, yes it's super fun and I think everyone should at least TRY to ice skate once in their lives. I hug the wall the whole time like a baby but I still have fun doing it.

This is a really fun science museum that is guaranteed to entertain your family. We spent a few…read morehours here on a Thursday in Omaha and my six year old had a blast. Our 16 mo old had fun too, but there is a lot to do for kids between the ages of 5-12. We all had fun walking around learning with some of the exhibits, and the indoor playground upstairs was a big hit. Our toddler even took a little nap while we were there in the comfy chairs upstairs so that was a win for us! Overall it's a new building, filled with fun things to explore, and definitely worth the visit if you're in Omaha. I'd say that especially if you're visiting when it's hot or cold outside this place would be ideal as it's perfectly air conditioned indoors.

This place is something else. I've been here twice now. Each…read moretime, my experience was phenomenal and memorable. Not because of the shows per se, but because of the community this place has created. The employees who make it all happen. I'll talk specifically about tonight. Went to a show, and had an issue with my ticket. This issue was an issue I created by making a mistake when the tickets were transferred, but Steelhouse employees were so quick and helpful. They took something that could have ruined a whole evening, and they resolved it within minutes. That alone was impressive and very kind especially since the mistake was not on their end. I was greeted by familiar faces, some who seemed to even remember me back. My next experience was specifically upstairs in the balcony. I'm currently expecting and needed to sit down and rest for a bit due to some complications I've been having. The employees checked on me regularly and went way above and beyond to make sure I was well cared for. I'm not special, they did this to everyone there. I saw paramedics with a gentleman, and shortly after, an employee took the rest of his evening to sit next to this ill person and assist them until I can only assume their ride arrived safely. The janitors were kind, and picked up very quickly after people's accidents left and right. Their work does not go unappreciated by people like me, who could've slipped and fallen on the spilled drinks along the way to and from the GA floor. Even the elevator greeters genuinely seemed excited for you to experience all this place had to offer. The cops that nod your way as you exit the venue are kind as well. This place doesn't appear to be an establishment of employees, but a community built upon responsibility and caring for one another - what a venue should be. I will be back, and I cannot wait to greet the faces of those who work so hard to make simple concerts so so special and memorable in ways that you just don't find just anywhere.

This is a modern and beautiful venue. We saw Nate Jackson on 02/21/26. There was zero line to get…read morein and plenty of security to get people inside quickly and just as many ticket scanners. The service is too notch and plenty of ushers do walk you directly to your seats. There are at least four bars from what I saw (one in main hallway and three in the seating/stage area). There were plenty of bartenders as well. They have a coat check in and there's plenty of space to stand around before the show starts. My only complaint is the seats are small foldable chairs and connected to each other so you can't move them at all and you can be touching elbows or bottoms depending on the size of people

The Durham Museum is in the old Union Station. I'm glad they were able to preserve the building…read morebecause it really is spectacular. There are many permanent displays about Omaha history, and there are train cars you can walk through; enthusiastic docents are often there to answer any questions. There are temporary exhibits here as well, and in the summers they will have something cool that the whole family will enjoy. There are lots of programs here, many of them free with admission or membership. I do recommend getting a membership if you think you might want to come at least a couple times in a year. And you probably will want to! There is a soda fountain/snack bar area. The ice cream is great! The food is okay. It's a museum and not a lunch destination. The museum is located right next to Omaha's Old Market.

This was my second time visiting The Durham Museum, and it continues to impress. My first visit was…read moreduring a free event honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and this most recent trip was with a group for the "Negro Motorist Green Book" exhibit. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. The museum provided discounted tickets for our nonprofit group, communicated clearly throughout the planning process, and had a tour guide ready who found us right away. That level of organization and customer care made a big difference. The exhibit itself was powerful and deeply educational, highlighting the history of the Green Book and the realities African American travelers faced during segregation. Through artifacts, photographs, and personal stories, it sparked meaningful conversations--especially among our younger visitors. I also really appreciate the museum's intentionality around inclusivity and programming. You can feel that it's a space designed to educate and welcome a wide range of audiences. The museum itself is on the smaller side, with exhibits primarily on the lower level, which actually made it manageable for our group to move through at different paces. My kids love the super long train you can walk through and the nearby play area. Practical perks matter too--there's plenty of parking (a huge plus), and they even offer umbrella strollers to borrow, which is incredibly thoughtful for families. Overall, a meaningful, well-run experience that I would absolutely recommend--whether you're visiting on your own, with family, or as part of a group.

False advertisement - really. I took a night course there that was supposed to be "Egyptian…read moreSpoken Arabic" . By the time I realized we were studying "Formal" or "Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)" a week had past (but there was only two classes a week). (When I spoke Egyptian, the teacher said, "none of that here". Notice I said "teacher"; she was a recent transplant from Iraq and obviously, didn't speak Egyptian.) So I dropped the course - I'd already had much MSA - but good ol' UNO charged me $600.00 dollars WHICH I REFUSE TO PAY! As this was a FALSE representation of a course AND was not even taught by a professor. Mind you, I have, and had at the time, a MA from the U of A Tucson and had studied at the American University in Cairo and had worked professionally with UW Seattle teachers to produce language-learning CDs in Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Hieroglyphs. UNO denied my appeal - EVEN after I got the author of the text book UNO was using for the course - to write a letter on my behalf stating that the text is clearing teaching the Egyptian Arabic dialect, and NOT Formal or MSA, and that the syllabus for the course did not match the textbook. And now I can't get my transcripts so I can find work to do at home: I'm disabled with Lupus currently. I can't afford their $600 dollar scam. UNO is an unfair, money-hungry institution. I've had language courses at U of MI; Portland U; U of WA; U of A Tucson; the American U in Cairo and am in good standing at all. THESE ARE WORTHY, PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITIES; DON'T WAST YOUR TIME AND MONEY AT UNO. THEY REALLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU - BUT YOUR MONEY.
