Our trip to the Omaha Children’s Museum’s “Itty Bitty City” exhibit was so much fun, we’ve decided to do it again.
This time my daughter Gabriella and I plan to invite the entire family.
I hope you can join us for a momaha play date today from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
It’ll be held in conjunction with the museum’s “First Friday Family Date Night.” The theme is “Superheroes”.
If you print this blog or show it from your mobile, you’ll get a free admission upgrade to the exhibit.
Itty Bitty City is a 10,000 square foot kid-powered metropolis filled with an airport, ambulance, bank, construction site, park and more.
And, I bet this bitty city could use a kid super hero.
All of the spaces and places in the exhibit are inspired by more than 30 Omaha businesses and organizations.
Itty Bitty City is the museum’s third “community-engaged exhibit,” meaning it’s supported by area organizations.
A few of the things you’ll see:
Omaha Fire Department
A physical play area where kids can prepare to work for the fire department.
