Omaha in February
Not the best time
February offers a slight reprieve from January's arctic blast. Restaurant Week makes it worthwhile for food lovers willing to brave the cold.
Weather
February continues the winter punishment with slightly less bite. Snow still falls regularly, but you might catch a few days above freezing. The city starts to shake off its winter hibernation mode by month's end.

All Months
April through May and September through October are your sweet spots. Spring brings the College World Series in June, which packs hotels and jacks up prices. Fall weather is perfect for walking around the Old Market or hitting the zoo. Summer gets hot and humid, but that's festival season. The Omaha Summer Arts Festival happens in June. Winter is brutal. January averages 20 degrees and the wind cuts through downtown like a knife. But hotel rates drop and you'll have restaurants to yourself. The Henry Doorly Zoo stays open year-round with indoor exhibits, so even winter visits work if you're traveling with kids.
