For many Omaha families, a spring break staycation keeps downtime simple while hands-on museums, live performances and neighborhood dining make the metro feel new again.
March is packed with family-friendly events, exhibits and programming. Exploring close to home supports local attractions, restaurants and small businesses between peak travel seasons. Here are some ideas to get your planning started:
- Head to Lauritzen Gardens to meet the towering creations of Thomas Dambo’s TROLLS: Save the Humans, crafted from reclaimed wood and designed to spark conversations about sustainability.
- Catch “Ada Twist, Scientist & Friends” at The Rose Theater, where curiosity and STEM learning take center stage.
- At The Durham Museum, Get Building! features detailed LEGO models of Omaha landmarks alongside hands-on construction zones for young builders.
- Doc McStuffins: The Exhibit at Omaha Children’s Museum invites kids into the McStuffins Toy Hospital for imaginative play reinforcing lessons about health and wellness.
- Head outdoors March 29 for The RiverFront’s Eggcellent Adventure at Gene Leahy Mall at The RiverFront, featuring face painting, spring-themed activities and a visit with the Easter Bunny.
