I anticipated a lot of train memorabilia and while there was enough of that, we also loved the exhibit on Jane Goodall and her work with primates. It was targeted to both a casual audience and one that might want to learn more. We also enjoyed some poignant history areas, grabbed lunch at the soda fountain (so-so) and took much longer in the larger underground facility than you would think. Gracious docents, staff and overall good time.

Very impressive building inside and out and very well maintained building. Very informative information on 2 floors but was a little boring at times.

Must visit when in Omaha! This museum is housed in Omaha’s former Union Station, an architectural gem. There is something for everyone with historical exhibits, kid friendly exhibits and the building itself. Museum entrance is the top level where you experience Union Station beautifully restored, the gift shop and museum cafe. Recommend walking around this level to appreciate beautiful architecture.
Then descend to the main museum level, a larger space with a later extension that houses historic passenger train carriages arranged in chronological order so you will experience Victorian-esque decor, art deco then a sleeper cabin. These have been beautifully restored and a friendly volunteer was onboard during our visit to share stories of the carriages. Volunteer did a great job with historical stories for the adults and piqued interest of the kids. There are historical exhibit so you can learn something about Omaha.
The museum has temporary exhibits as well and Jane Goodall was featured in Aug’24.

Extensive museum with displays and activities to engage all ages! My wife and I especially liked the chance to walk through train cars and imagine what it would have been like to travel years ago.
We also enjoyed the short film about Omaha's history -- between that and the many exhibits, we learned a lot about the early years of this fine city. And oh, what a lot of interesting history!
In addition, we had a delicious lunch at the throwback cafe--most especially the old-fashioned soda and the Art Deco Delight Sundae.

First, the station itself it beautiful, with interesting history explained and some really cool bronze 'real life' statues (Other places have versions of these - Galveston's are in white and arranged as even more of a vignette). Really nicely done. Then there is locomotive and 3 full access railcars. But the real museum - anything and everything you wanted to know about Omaha is tucked deceivingly away down there as well. Much more expansive than you initially think with displays at scale enough to keep kids interested, but also detailed signage if you would like to stop and learn about a subject in more depth. You could wander through this for a couple of hours if desired. Skipped the Jane Goodall exhibit, so no opinion there - just needed to move on to something else that day. Ample, free parking.

Superb museum in many ways. The displays are great, and the building itself is the Omaha Union train station that went out of use and was adopted right away into a museum, so it did not slide into neglect and vandalism like so many others. You'll learn a bit about the city, Lewis and Clark, and many other subjects. The rail cars are carefully cleaned and restored, and an otherwise good mix of the hands-on and don't touch. Gift shop is really good. If you're going for the train connection, the area has two other train museums, sort of where Sheldon will go if they're a heaven.

A very interesting museum! Lots of Omaha history. I especially liked the Native American exhibits and railroad cars. The coin and token exhibit was phenomenal! Also tried a malted milk shake at the retro soda fountain counter.

We really didn’t expect much, but thought let’s see it. The reviews were good, I read to expect to stay 1-2 hours there. We stayed about 4 hours. The museum is deceiving large. The displays and info were very well done. After doing the whole museum we had old fashioned floats and malts!! This is a must for everyone.

We loved this museum, an incredible value with so many interesting exhibits. The model train and exploring the trains and streetcars were a couple of our favorites. The Omaha at Work and Trans-Mississippi galleries were both very interesting in highlighting the role Omaha played in the westward expansion during the 1800's. Lastly, have TOYTOPIA as a temporary exhibit is a blast for young and old alike. At only $15 ($12 for seniors), this makes for an outstanding value.

Is there an area not covered by the museum in Union Station. I have a few in our group not interested in touring it but its too cold to leave them in the car... maybe an atrium to sit in or something?

To whom should I send an article that included facts about your museum?

I am unable to answer your question. I was a visitor from out of state. I would check the museum website or call the museum.

Is this an appropriate museum for a 4 and 2 year old? Do they have hands on displays?
Rédigé le 8 décembre 2017
My kids have enjoyed this museum since they were toddlers. A lot to see and experience. Real train cars to go through, and exhibits change on a regular basis. This museum has something for every age group.

There is no shuttle offered by the museum. You may be able to get shuttle service if you are staying at one of the nearby or downtown hotels. Ask at the front desk.
