Places to Go and Things to Do in Omaha with Kids This Winter
Omaha Children’s Museum
This is a place my children always love to go! There are a variety of activities, shows, and interactive ‘toys’ to keep them busy. My kids love the grocery center where kids can shop for food and play cashier. The museum also has exhibits on the top level of the building that are constantly changing. The greatest part about OCM is it’s full of learning experiences, too!
Henry Doorly Zoo
The zoo isn’t only for the warmer months. It can also be fun during the winter season too! Visit the buildings where you can stay cozy and warm while still seeing some awesome animals. You can catch a movie in the Lozier Theater, check out the monkeys in the Lied Jungle, or view some of the deserts most famous friends to name a few!
Urban Air Adventure Park
Boasting a room full of wall-to-wall trampolines, a tube playground, a warrior course, rock climbing, and more, your kids will LOVE this! Smaller children will have a blast climbing through the tubes while the older kids complete the ropes course!
Kids and DIY Workshops at The Home Depot
Kids workshops provide a lively environment mixing skill-building, creativity, and safety for future DIYers. These classes are offered on select Saturdays at your local store with different projects for each class. And…it’s FREE!
Joslyn Museum
Spend a morning or afternoon wandering through the art galleries at the newly reopened Joslyn Museum. Kids will love the interactive Art Works area in the basement.
Omaha Library
With branches all around the metro, there’s truly something for everyone! Spend time browsing the books, movies, and magazines, check out an event, and enjoy the many free resources it has to offer.
