Whether you’ve been with your significant other for 12 months or married for 50 years, there’s a desire to make an anniversary feel special. You want to celebrate the relationship and go above and beyond to make your partner feel special with a meal, experience, or gift that blows them away.
There are plenty of ways in Omaha to create a memorable experience on your relationship’s big day. Here are 8 awesome ways to celebrate your anniversary in Omaha.
Eat at an Amazing Restaurant
Omaha’s vast restaurant scene offers you plenty of options if you want to spare a special meal. You can opt for fine dining with a six-course tasting menu at Au Courant or appreciate the regal brilliance of The Boiler Room. Savor perfectly cooked steaks amid the Roaring 20s atmosphere of The Committee Chophouse. Split pizzas and pastas together over glasses of wine at Dante, or enjoy rolls of sushi from a James Beard Award finalist chef at Yoshitomo. If you want to keep things low-key, grab some ice cream from Coneflower Creamery, share some slices at Virtuoso Pizzeria, or down some burgers and craft cocktails at Fizzy’s Fountain & Liquors.
Walk Around the Old Market
What’s more romantic than strolling hand-in-hand through the cobblestone roads in a historic locale like The Old Market? Omaha’s historic downtown area features antique shops, bookstores, swanky cocktail lounges, and wide variety of restaurants. Venture into the passageway for a romantic dinner at V. Mertz, sip on a craft cocktail or glass of wine at The Berry & Rye, and snag some delicious cones from Ted & Wally’s. If you really want to make the night feel special, hop into one of the horsedrawn carriages for a romantic tour of the neighborhood.
Take a Stroll Through Lauritzen Gardens
With hundreds of acres of floral displays and stunning gardens, few spots in Omaha are as naturally romantic as Lauritzen Gardens. You can spend an afternoon or evening together admiring the beauty as you walk the grounds, ride the tram, and grabbing a bite to eat in the café. As a popular proposal destination, the Lauritzen Gardens are a perfect Omaha anniversary location.
Catch a Movie at Dundee Theater
Dinner and a movie make for a classic date night, but you can step things up a notch at Dundee Theater. Omaha’s longest-running cinema only has two screens: one massive 300-seat theater and a more intimate 25-seat microcinema. Take your date to catch either a new movie or a classic hit while you enjoy wine and dinner from Lola’s, the chef-driven café attached to the theater.
Grab a Drink Together
Whether you want an intimate bar experience or a fun atmosphere with crazy cocktails, Omaha has you covered. If upscale is your desire, pay a visit to The Wicked Rabbit (a speakeasy in downtown Omaha), or enjoy the low lighting and delicious drinks at The Cottonwood Room inside the Cottonwood Hotel. Check out the latest cocktail options amid the quirky, seasonal décor at Mercury. If beer is more your style as a couple, you can enjoy anniversary brews at one of Omaha’s many breweries, including Nebraska Brewing Company and Bearded Brewer Artisan Ales.
Have Your Mind Blown at Kiewit Luminarium
Any visit to the Kiewit Luminarium is a good time, as the scientific exhibits, demonstrations, and displays in this downtown Omaha locale expand the mind and allow you to explore incredible scientific wonders. You and your significant other can marvel and laugh together, especially on a Thursday night. That’s when the Luminarium becomes an adult-only destination, allowing you to enjoy drinks while you create memories together.
Make a Meal Together
It’s one thing to share a great meal together; it’s another to learn some skills and cook it together! Chef Around the Block allows you to schedule a private cooking class featuring any cuisine you desire, from Italian to Asian, German, and Indian, each with its unique menu and set of skills to learn. You’ll cook under the patience tutelage of a career chef, then enjoy the meal together in a private dining room while chef does the dishes. Plus, you get the recipes of the meals you cook, so you can recreate them and relive the night on future anniversaries!
Get Artistic
Create memories and artwork at the same time with a night at Corky Canvas. This paint studio allows you to create boards, door hangings, and canvases with a glass of wine and step-by-step instructions from a talented local artist. Not only will you have a great time during the night, but you’ll have a memento to remember your anniversary by.
