The other day I took some of my daycare tots to a visit to the Omaha Botanical Gardens with the help of my cousin. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. One of the things I like best about going to the gardens (besides the beautiful scenery) is that children until 6 are admitted free. This makes it a great place to take the tots. There are several things for them to enjoy there and I get some exercise pushing the stroller on the beautiful paths. I must admit that I do always find myself wishing I was on the tram as it passes us by as we are on our way back to the entrance/ exit.
The most popular area with B when we go to the gardens is the Model Railroad Garden where they feature model trains traveling through a mini- Omaha made with natural materials. B could stand here and watch the trains go through the tunnels, over bridges, and down the track for hours. It is usually a struggle to get him to leave this area. We even got a picture of my cousin standing by the model of the First National Tower where her mom works.
At this visit, we were able to visit a temporary exhibit called KidStructure. This was a variety of outdoor structures that the kids are able to explore, climb, play in, etc. B and the little ones had fun going through all of these. Part of the fun with them though was the sprinkler that was watering some nearby grass!
wow that place looks soo awesome!
