10+ FREE Things to Do Indoors in Omaha:

1. Explore the ArtWorks interactive space at Joslyn Art Museum. We recently visited for the first time and the kids loved all of the creative activities! While at the Museum, check out an Art Pack, a theme-based backpack to use as you explore the Museum galleries. (Closed Mondays and major holidays.) NOTE: Art Packs are unavailable at this time.

 

2.  Visit KANEKO where they often have exhibitions kids will enjoy. See their current programs here. Location: 1111 Jones St., Omaha, NE.

3. Explore the Union Pacific Railroad Museum. (See website for hours.) Location: 200 Pearl St., Council Bluffs, IA. NOTE: The museum is now open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays from 12-6 p.m. and it’s still free to visit, but you must register online at least 1 hour before your visit and wear a face mask in the building.

 

4. Visit Boys Town including the Hall of History, Dowd Chapel, Father Flanagan House, and Leon Myers Stamp Center, and see the world’s largest ball of stamps. (There is a suggested donation of $3 per person for guided tours.) A virtual tour of the Hall of History is also available.
