🧼 spotless & clean 7 mentions

“The Omaha Children's Museum maintains a high standard of hygiene, with staff regularly cleaning exhibits and communal areas.”

👶 great for toddlers 7 mentions

“The art area was really cool and the life area with restaurants, bank, and doctor were fun but all of the items were toddler size instead of having a variety of sizes.”

What parents say

This completely interactive experience is great for the kids! Lots to do and learn from. They have many areas for their development. The restrooms and entire place is handicapped accessible clean! They have a small food area upstairs with an awesome selection to choose from and it’s veered perfectly to picky eaters.

This museum has a great space for imaginative play. My 9 year old spent an hour pretending to run a grocery store and then be a mechanic. More hands on pretend than I've seen in other children museums across the states.

★★★★☆ — Grams, Feb 2025

So much fun! We spent 6 hours and my little had the best time. Everything was very clean and there were so many fun things to do. The princesses were a hit as well! Highly recommend and new must visit each summer!

★★★★★ — Ronda, Jul 2025

TONS of fun!! As a first timer we spent 3.5hrs and she still wanted to stay and keep playing. Best part was the wood shop. We both enjoyed making something and being able to take it home. Highly recommend for kids under 10/11. Thing any older might no longer enjoy. Super great for toddlers. Food was decent.
