📍 Leavenworth Business, NE
Omaha Children's Museum on S 20th St features permanent hands-on exhibits, rotating special exhibitions, daily STEAM programming, a food court, and summer camps. Celebrating its 50th year in 2026.
This is always a fun outing with our grandkids! Favorite activities there include the Hy-Vee shopping area and the water-based play. This visit included time in the Doc McStuffins area, which my granddaughter loved. We spent several hours there, including lunch in their food court. Overall, the staff is friendly, the space is clean and there are activities for all ages and interests.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for children ages 1–10. The role-play grocery exhibit and water play captivate toddlers and early elementary kids equally. Summer camps suit ages 4 and up. Grandparents are frequent visitors — the food court and seating areas give adults a comfortable place to recharge between exhibit halls.
