Freedom Park — Attraction in Omaha

Great place to check out! My 3 daughters aged 5 to 13 had a blast and thought it was mind blowing and so cool, as well as the 4 adults with! The volunteers are great too and knowledgeable! Very sad that with all of the construction and funding going on currently around and in Omaha, spending millions/ billions of $, states can't or won't get funding to keep places like these goin. Nice entrance to a park and gazebo and a restaurant I thought, but people that come to visit have to drive down a gravel road guiding you with hand made signs?

Hazard, is the only surviving WW2 vessel in it's original outfitting, and being on it is like sailing up the river of time to 1944. Highly recommended for enthusiastic historians, or as an engaging educational tool for children. The park also boasts a full submarine (U.S.S. Marlin) and an assortment of airplanes, helicopters, and a garden of tremendous anchors. I would also recommend leaving some appreciation in the donation box, as this park is deeply underfunded, and run by...
