The Omaha Children's Museum is a wonderful place to take kids from toddlers to pre-tweens. There are many hands on exhibits including an informative science demonstration that at the time we went featured electricity. The current exhibition is the Big Backyard. The interactive exhibits here have to do with outdoor fun and safety. There are also giant animals that kids can climb all over.. The four and five year olds enjoyed running around freely throughout the exhibit after they did a few of the activities. I think it was worth the 10 dollar charge for admission for each of us. We were there for about six hours. We were allowed to bring snacks and water in with us which helped with the costs. Some of the other folks had a discount coupons that took $2 off the admission price.

One other note
While we were there was a really fun group of homeschool kids and their parents. The kids ranged in ages from four to about twelve. All of them had different activities that they had to complete. One of the parents told me that someone in the group developed the curriculum for the group. The younger kids enjoyed playing with our crew of two four year olds and one five year old. Our kids enjoyed playing with their new 'friends'. I think this really added to our visit because all of the our kids we were on their best behavior while hanging out with the big kids. Overall an enjoyable visit.

We live about two hours away and the museum trip was part of a two day visit to Omaha.
