Omaha Children's Museum
About This Museum
Tucked into the heart of downtown Omaha, the air inside this museum hums with the sound of pure, unadulterated play. It’s a place where learning feels less like a lesson and more like an adventure, with kids completely lost in worlds of their own making. From concocting wild experiments to climbing through multi-story structures, every corner is designed to spark a new curiosity. You're just as likely to see a toddler driving a pretend grocery checkout as you are to find a group of friends engineering a complex ball run.
Collection Highlights
The museum's crown jewel is its permanent 'Supersparks!' workshop, where kids get hands-on with real tools and materials to build their wildest ideas. Another favorite is the 'Charlie Campbell Science & Technology Center,' a vibrant space for curious young minds to tinker with air pressure tubes and magnetic gears. And of course, little ones can't get enough of the whimsical 'Wonderland' exhibit, a larger-than-life world inspired by the classic nursery rhyme.
Visitor Information
You'll find it right at 500 S 20th Street, with parking available in an adjacent lot (be prepared to pay). It's wise to check their website for daily hours before you go, as they can change with the seasons and for special events. Buying tickets online ahead of time is a great way to skip any potential line and dive straight into the fun.
