In response to coronavirus and in adherence to city, state and federal guidelines, the following are the general principles guiding Omaha Children’s Museum operations.
We recognize that the museum can get loud! We offer Sensory Bags at the front desk that include headphones, gloves, sunglasses, and other items. If your child needs a quieter spot, or a more focused activity, visit these spots:
To plan your visit at a quieter time, the museum is typically quiet on school weekdays in the afternoon.
If your child needs pressure, several exhibits in the Charlie Campbell Science Center have cranks that require effort to move.
A social storybook is available to prepare children for their visits and show what it’s like to visit the museum.
If your child has difficulty with transitions, we recommend visiting towards the end of the day. Museum staff members make several announcements in preparation for closing. At that time, all visitors are encouraged to visit their favorite exhibit one more time, then make their way to the coatroom and depart for home.
If you have any questions related to accessibility, please call the Museum at (402) 342-6164 or email: info@ocm.org before your visit. Omaha Children’s Museum is fully accessible. Many traveling exhibits are also fully accessible. See individual exhibit pages for more information.
There are restrooms with multiple stalls and changing tables on both floors.
For those who are in the process of potty training, and those who simply prefer small potties (with handles that flush, rather than automatic flushes), they are located next to the Light Piano on the first floor.
A large family restroom is located just outside the Imagination Playground on the first floor.
There are lockers near the entrance by the front desk available for rental. They are perfect for storing anything you don’t want to hold while you play! It’s 50¢ for a small locker, and 75¢ for a large locker.
Stroller parking is available near the stairs, and next to the Wiggle Room in Imagination Playground.
Lost and found is located at the museum’s front desk.
Got a boo boo? Basic first aid materials are available at the museum’s front desk. Managers are also trained in basic first aid procedures.
Tuesday – Friday: 9 am – 4 pm
Saturday – Sunday: 9 am – 5 pm
Monday: Closed
