Omaha Children’s Museum is planning to move to The Riverfront.On Thursday, officials announced plans for a new museum at 8th and Douglas streets along the Heartland of America Park.The museum will continue to operate at 20th and Howard streets, and transition to the new location in 2027.Officials said the new museum aims to create a “dynamic, purpose-built childrens museum full of fun spaces inspired by children and their caregivers, shaped by best practices in early child development.””Nebraska is home to some of the nations leading experts on early childhood development who are working with us to plan for the new museum from the building to the exhibits to the programming,” Fawn Taylor, Omaha Children’s Museum CEO, said. “Their guidance will combine with input from national peer museums, decades of experience from our staff, and feedback from the Omaha community to create a dynamic new Omaha Childrens Museum.”The plans for the new museum include a residential complex called The Beam and a new city of Omaha parking garage at the site, officials said.”This entire development fits right in with all the year-round family-friendly activities at the surrounding parks, museums, and entertainment venues downtown,” Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert said. “We love that the site has easy access for pedestrians and cyclists and a location directly on the ORBT bus and Omaha streetcar routes, and we know that the new city of Omaha parking garage will get plenty of use from museum guests, Beam tenants, and everyone visiting downtown.”Officials said the redevelopment agreements and garage are scheduled to be considered by the Omaha City Council in the coming weeks.Longtime museum supporters and volunteers Susan and Mike Lebens played a role in leading the project.”We spent the past year traveling the United States to visit other great childrens museums and are confident that we can create something incredibly fun and full of learning opportunities that is unlike anything else in the country right now,” Susan said.The Omaha community can help shape the new museum by completing the survey here.Click here for the latest headlines from KETV NewsWatch 7
