Once Upon A Farm continues through April 12th!
Experience farm life in the city! The Omaha Children’s Museum latest special exhibit, Once Upon a Farm, offers a variety of fun and interactive activities to help children explore the world of agriculture.
My kids love this exhibit! The Children’s Museum always creates wonderful activities where children are actively engaged in play and also learning at the same time! Children love climbing in the 2 story worm wall, a popular activity that has returned from other special exhibits, and driving around the pedal track maze on mini tractors and trikes, and filling up on gas! The huge combine invites them to climb in and explore what it would be like to drive one.
I love how Once Upon a Farm ties to the agricultural foundation of Nebraska and how the Omaha Children’s Museum involves partners from across the community and the state to help create the exhibit. See my full review here!
Daily Programming:
Farm Life: (Tuesday – Saturday 10:30 a.m. & 2:30 p.m.; Sunday 2:30 p.m.)
- Learn about modern day farming daily. Discover how the food we eat gets from the farm to the store. Enjoy games, crafts and farm-themed activities.
What’s Hatching!
Baby chicks have hatched at the Omaha Children’s Museum! The chick eggs are an added feature to the special exhibit and provide museum guests with a new, hands on experience while learning about chick development and the hatching process.
The museum is also expecting a batch of quail eggs to hatch, and duck eggs will also be joining the fluffy friends soon!
See a video showing a time lapse of the chicks hatching:
