Omaha Children's Museum

Thank you so much to The Consulate of Mexico in Omaha for inviting the Omaha Children's Museum to participate in presenting at the Binational Education Week 2024, themed “Knowledge Without Borders” under #PartnershipsForEducation. This event represents a wonderful opportunity to connect with our community partners focused on education for familes that live in Nebraska & Iowa. We eagerly anticipate collaborating and celebrating the important work you do. 🌟 #ConsulOfMexico #ConocimientoSinFronteras #AlianzasPorLaEducacion Mr. Jorge Ernesto Espejel Montes- Consul de Mexico Socorro Carrera Jacqelle Lane, M.Ed., DEIB Certified Specialist

Join us for the Early Childhood Explorers Networking Forum at Omaha Children's Museum! Monday, July 8th from 6:30-8:30 pm.

Omaha Children's Museum has leveled up with an innovative exhibit designed to power up your family’s life. Dive into this immersive experience where learning about holistic well-being feels like you’re playing inside a video game world. Children will discover five key areas of well-being through engaging interactives and then celebrate with a bubble dance party. Hats off to the incredible OCM team for creating a positive and affirming exhibit that responds to the many health challenges faced by children, especially post-pandemic. #educationalexhxibits #exhibitdesign #exhibits

Our great friends at Omaha Children's Museum invited our wonderful team member Nayeli to discuss early childhood development ideas in Omaha! A big thank you for the conversation and the wonderful tour.

Thank you to everyone who came out to see us this past weekend at Cinco de Mayo Omaha and to the organizers of this incredible event! We had such a great time meeting families from all over Omaha and being able to celebrate together! A special thank you to Carol Franksen of FatBrainToys and Esmeralda Leon from AdAstra for their support of our Museum without Walls Program, which helps us pursue our mission and has been able to inspire curiosity, creativity, and instill a love for learning in our community!

Omaha Children’s Museum is excited to have been chosen by Stories Coffee Company’s nonprofit of the quarter for Q1, donating a portion of their sales to support OCM! As a part of the partnership, some of our favorite characters, including Bluey and Encanto made appearances at their Gretna location. 

Last week we had the honor of welcoming Clifford the Big Red Dog to the museum for a special story time! Kids got to meet Clifford, learn about train safety, and were given a copy of the book to take home! A special thank you to Union Pacific Railroad for their collaboration on this story time and their sponsorship of our Millions of Miles exhibit!

We are proud to announce a new partnership with Woodhouse Auto Family as the new sponsor for the tire and auto center exhibit. This new partnership will help include a renovation and updating of the existing exhibit which will continue to be beloved by children of all ages for years to come as the new “Woodhouse Service Center.” Children will love climbing under the vehicle in the automotive service center, replacing critical parts and tires as they complete the multi-point inspection to ensure every vehicle serviced returns quickly and safely! Regarding the partnership, Woodhouse Auto Family stated, “Our partnership with the Omaha Children’s Museum perfectly aligns with our commitment as an organization to support youth and educational experiences in our community. Plus, the opportunity with the Woodhouse Service Center now being a permanent exhibit allows children to explore and learn about the auto industry and help spark a passion for possible career paths in the future.”
