Neale Woods, we like you. How could you not? You sort of have to love that there is not one but two forests less than 20 minutes away from downtown Omaha. Not parks. Forests. There’s a lot to like about that.
For example, Neale Woods, which is administered by the Fontenelle Nature Association (who also manage Fontenelle Forest in nearby Bellevue), houses the Millard Observatory, the largest observatory in the Omaha metro area. That’s very likeable. It’s stationed at the Neale Woods Nature Center for the attractive price of $6 for adults ($4 for members).
