We've been visiting Skinny Bones Pumpkin Patch for the past 5 years. We first discovered it when we…read moregot our dog and were looking for fall activities, and it quickly became a favorite. One of the best parts is their dog-friendly day, complete with a Halloween costume contest for pups, these types of events are what this city definitely needs more of! Since then, it's become a yearly tradition for us, and now we get to enjoy it with our little one, too. My only drawback is it's much smaller than some of the other well-known pumpkin patches.That said, the smaller size can actually be a perk. It's nice to experience everything in one visit without having to come back multiple times or spend the entire day.

I have consistently hit Skinny Bones each year since my kids were little. It's tough to gauge if…read moreit's expensive still, or just cheaper than another pumpkin patch but for a family of four it's about a $200+ day . We did spend nearly four hours here last Saturday despite it being a bit chilly. I will say they finally have a lot more to do, and I appreciate the updates they've made to make it more of a day trip than a quick trip. We rode all the rides, slid the slides, and hit both train/hayracks. We spent our lunch in the food barn and got some discount hoodies and tops in the market. We also got 2 over prices pumpkins but when in rome. You can't leave SBP without their very tart apple cider donuts. so good! We'll continue to come back, even if it's a a pricey day.

This place is one of my kids favorites!…read more I have a 2 and 3 year old that love to go and play on the outdoor equipment, shoot some hoops, and jump on the trampolines with Dad. We tend to go on the weekdays so they can run around without having to worry about the crowds. They have elaborate outdoor equipment in a large space, a cafeteria for snack time, decent basketballs for hoops, and plenty of large trampolines. My only complaint is that some of the slides can be pretty fast and there's not too much padding to catch the little ones. Some of them I go on I end up running out so I don't fall. I love a fast slide but I could be safer. You can buy 4 and 8 punch cards to save a little money and it's great for the Winter or just a rainy day when you're looking to burn some of your kids' energy. I recommend this place for sure! Gotta try it and I wish they'd expand to Omaha!

From making a reservation, picking out our ceramic plate, choosing colors and a design, and then waiting about a week while they glazed and fired it. They even gave me a call when it was ready for pickup. We made a "Cookies for Santa" plate and it turned out so cute. The staff was incredibly helpful, too. We struggled to get a good baby handprint, and one of the employees suggested doing a footprint instead, genius and way easier! I'll definitely be coming back!

From ceramics to canvas to candles, there is something fun...for all artistic levels. The staff there were extremely helpful, guiding us every step of the way. We ended up creating a candle this time to have a gift for Christmas (ceramic painting takes about 14 days). The kids loved picking out colored wax and the scent. So interactive. We will definitely be back for another round!

Wow! Don't miss out on this cute store during the holidays. Love shopping local and especially small businesses!

Marigold's Mercantile is absolutely the vibe of a store I've been unaware I've been missing. I had…read morefollowed their journey as they were promoting opening their shop and all the things they were curating to carry. It took me awhile to get find the time to shop there but I'm thankful I finally got to check them out this summer! I had been considering getting a gift from there for an upcoming birthday but as this person is particular about certain items we ended up going a different route for a gift. Little did I know my boyfriend's parents decided to gift me a gift card to Marigold's Mercantile! I was ecstatic and found a way to make it in!! My favorite part of this store is how they carry locally made foods from local companies. All in Thyme is a favorite in our household as Chef Andrew is a close from of my boyfriend's, so when I saw that they carry some of his sourdough or English Muffins I knew I had to start shopping soon!! My first visit I was on a mission to find a !00% cotton throw blanket, moving away from plastics to more natural fibers, I had a feeling they'd have what I was looking for. They did and of course a variety of other items. I also got several bags of the English Muffins to share with the family on our family trip and a new bandana for our dog. My second visit here I had some of my gift card left over so I wanted to come back and get the mosquito insect repellent incense sticks, I had seen them when I was on my way out the last time and was bummed I didn't see it earlier. I brought my sister along this time so she could see what the store I was obsessed with. We were greeted pretty promptly as we entered by on of the staff members but noticed the other girl was mostly on her phone. I imagine she was maybe working on their social media but I'm uncertain. She did put her phone down when we were ready to check out and the other employee was processing my gift card. They have a great selection of natural products that are plastic free. They have some beautiful wood cutting boards, dish soap bars and holders, locally made soaps, and store made products like insect repellent and house aroma sprays. They have a small beauty section of natural products like bath scents, salts, and sugars, a fun selection of reusable bags, a whole stationary section full of notebooks, pens, and cute additions for the perfect note. As I mentioned before they have doggie bandanas in a small shelved area of cat and dog products! I love that they remembered our best friends!! There's a small selection of cat and dog treats, toys, and supplies which is perfect for the apartments nearby too. On the right side of the store as you walk in there's a fun and vast variety of locally made products like gourmet granola made here in Omaha, other snacks and sauces also locally made. As you walk further in the store they have a small cooler of fun drinks and foods from places like Conscious Comforts!! The plethora of products and the common theme of local, natural, and organic truly speaks to my soul. I'm filled with gladness that a store has opened that can showcase these wonderful products and in an area that is frequented and often busy. I hope this little shop remains successful for years to come! It's also great that their staff keep guests updated on their instagram with new products they have throughout the week! I know I'll be back again soon!

I think the food and shopping scene are a good match for this area--higher end places focused on quality, and with higher price points to match the west Omaha/Elkhorn clientele. There is also a strong focus on athletic stores--probably because Scheels draws that crowd here. Parking is always an issue so plan accordingly! There are several lots, but you will often find yourself driving around for a few minutes and walking a bit more, so plan ahead. All in all the variety of stores makes for a fun outdoor shopping day, and there are plenty of quick or fancy dine in spots to choose from as you fuel up in between stores!

There is also live music, entertainment, and quite a few food options. All free to attend, baking in the summer heat. Gotta love it.
