Lincoln Children's Museum invites children to create, discover and learn through the power of play!
Build, dance, play, climb, create, sing, and laugh at the Lincoln Children's Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. Here you can be whatever and go wherever your imagination takes you! The Museum offers three floors and 24,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits and imaginative programs that allow children and adults to discover the adventure of learning through play together.
We recently received a wonderful donation from an even more wonderful family, the Bergmans. Their kindness has provided our Johnny Carson Stage with amazing new costumes, honoring Baby Cora in a truly beautiful way. Thank you for including us in part of your family’s story and extending the gift of play for all guests to enjoy.
We’re open for another EXTRA day of PLAY tomorrow from 9am - 5pm! For even more fun, show up with silly and wacky hairstyles for 50 cents off admission for each person in your party.
