Review:
The Omaha Children's Museum is a 60,000-square-foot fun place in downtown Omaha, where kids can play, challenge themselves and learn about the world around them through interactive, entertaining exhibits and activities. The museum opened its doors in 1978 and includes a range of permanent exhibits such as the Creative Arts Center with a theater, community sculpture and art island, Artist-in-Residence Studio and the "Charlie Campbell Science and Technology Center".
The center has the "Super Gravitron", a machine with balls powered by wind, air and water, which run on rails and through tubes. There are also an inventors’ workshop, the "Science Showplace" with live science presentations and pulley and vacuum chairs. The "Imagination Playground" is designed for very young children. There is also an interactive outdoor fountain called "Sandy’s Splish-Splash Garden," and four 24-foot whirligigs that look like giant pinwheels.
