A really nice stop if you're visiting Omaha and want some souvenirs. I enjoyed the stamp ball, and there are bins of postage stamps and baseball cards for free, based on the honor system. There is also wall art made of postage stamps. They even have a golf ball and bag of postage stamps for $5, so you can start your own ball of stamps!
[Bianca Giron, 11/21/2019]There is also a very nice museum on the campus that has exhibits showing the history of Boy's Town which is definitely worth spending some time in while you are on campus.
