MAKE EDU-PLAY-TIONAL* MEMORIES AT ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S TOP CHILDREN’S MUSEUMS
(*We’re working on the trademark)
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. Continuing to be the star of the show is the Super Gravitron. Families can drop in a ball, take a guess where it will land, and track its path ... leading up to a massive ball drop! QUICK - add more balls to the center before it dumps them out all over again. The Streck Science Showplace inspires 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 means the edu-play-tional excitement can follow you home – we call this the ultimate souvenir.
