Children’s Museum

Omaha Children’s Museum is a 60,000 sq. ft. imagination station dedicated to providing families with fun, memorable experiences in a hands-on environment. Open year-round with a variety of permanent and temporary exhibits, kids are invited to explore, play and learn. A fan favorite is the enormous Super Gravitron ball machine. Families love to drop in a ball, guess where it will land, and track its path ... leading up to a massive ball drop! Hurry to add more balls to the center before it dumps them out all over again. The Streck Science Showplace stuns little scientists with exciting demonstrations built around heat energy, exothermic reactions and combustion. The Amazing Bubble Show and the Whiz Bang Super Science Show feature the fizzle, pop and BANG as soda explodes and massive bubbles dance in the air. Museum staff provide DIY experiments, which mean the edu-play-tional fun can follow you home – the ultimate souvenir.
