This looks beautiful and we hope to check it out soon! We love seeing Omaha's downtown looking better and grateful to be located here! (even with streetcar construction still going on)

Be sure to check it out!

Downtown Omaha just got a little more beautiful.
Polina Gardens opens TODAY — and it's unlike anything we've had in the heart of the city before.
Lauritzen Gardens' first ever satellite location transforms a former parking lot at 737 S. 13th St into a lush, free public green space featuring 22,000 perennials, 120+ trees and shrubs, and two stunning works of public art:
The Kiss by British artist Sophie Ryder — a monumental 20-foot sculpture of two intertwined hands that you can walk through and experience from within.
Switchgrass by Omaha artist Lee Emma Running — a large-scale evolving mural inspired by native switchgrass tracings from the Nebraska State Museum, designed to change with the seasons.

Designed by Field Operations with plantings by internationally acclaimed landscape designer Piet Oudolf, this is a space built for the whole community — to gather, relax, explore, and connect with nature right in the Old Market.
Free to visit. Open daily 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. – Closed Tuesdays.
📍 737 S. 13th St, Omaha

You decide which improv team returns next time as the NEW Champions "Ghost Hunters" take on "Improviseers" for their 1st Arena match - This Thursday at 8pm!

"Ghost Hunters" defeated "Number 4, My Lord" last week after only 2 wins (and you need 7 wins to be immortalized on our board!) Improviseers bring tough competition though, as they made it all the way to the finals this year in the 2-Person Improv Competition!
