with open positions in 2014. After conducting
national searches for the positions of Director
of Guest Experience and Educational Outreach
Coordinator, we were able to attract individuals
with qualified experience and ties to Nebraska to
join our team. Shawn Toovey, who spent seven
years working for Disney World, relocated from
Orlando, Florida as the Director of Guest Experience
and Dacia Bryan left her work at California Science
Center to join our team as Educational Outreach
Coordinator. They join an already committed and
dedicated team of professionals committed to
engaging imaginations and creating excitement
about learning.
As you read through our stories of 2014, I hope
you will agree with the statement that at Omaha
Children’s Museum we don’t coast, we thrive. If you
haven’t been by to see for yourself, I’d invite you in
to catch the energy of this place. We are here for
the children, and hopefully there’s still just a little
bit of child left in you to find your place here too.

2014 marked another record breaking year with over 290,000 visitors that entered our museum
doors and over 370,000 served through off-site events. This makes OCM the most visited museum
and the second highest attended arts and cultural attraction in the state, second only to Omaha’s
Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium. The museum membership family also grew to over 9,200 families.

FAIRYTALE LAND
An enchanting land where magic happens and dreams come true! Princess
Poppy and her princess friends were back to engage children’s imaginations in
a new summer exhibit. Nearly 19,000 museum guests ‘let it go’ as they
sang along to songs, learned what it takes to become a knight and act out

DINOS: THE BIG DIG
Dinosaurs have been a staple in our schedule of special exhibitions
for more than 25 years. For the first time, rather than leasing dinosaurs
from a third party, the museum purchased 9 animatronic
dinosaurs along with an electronic passenger train and a
water-mining sluice. With the purchase of the sluice, over 6,266
gemstone and fossil bags were sold to guests, expanding
fairytale favorites during the exhibit programming.
550 young princes and princesses made their dreams come true
at Evening Fairytale Teas – an intimate evening at the museum with princesses
and fun play time. More than 60 gallons of tea was served for these young
royals as they learned their P’s and Q’s and found their ‘happily ever after.’
Over 26,309 children
have taken a ride on the
new train since its debut
in Dinos: The Big Dig. The
train was made possible
by a generous grant from
BNSF Railway.
In 2014, Omaha Children’s Museum took its community-engaged exhibits
program to the next level through support from over 23 state and
children and their families learned about gemology and fossils
These purchases will be used in future exhibits and offer an additional
revenue stream to the museum by renting them out to other
institutions. The dinosaurs were made possible by a generous gift
from the Theodore F. & Claire M. Hubbard Family Foundation.

national organizations. Once Upon a Farm, a 10,000 square foot
agricultural exhibit, gave children growing up in urban Douglas County
and surrounding regions the opportunity to experience what life is like on
a Nebraska farm. The exhibit included educational themes focused around
food production, equipment usage and most importantly, gave guests the
opportunity to explore future
careers in the agriculture
industry. The exhibit was home to a number of baby

time to monitor their growth. Museum staff and
volunteers also hosted a day trip to a local dairy farm
where children and their families experienced what
day to day operations were like on a real farm, further
enhancing the Once Upon a Farm experience.

Omaha Children’s Museum continues to inspire children by
creating permanent exhibits where children can explore
future careers through hands on play and learning. By
providing diverse and interactive exhibits, OCM is able to
help build confidence in children, and in turn, set the stage to
become successful adults.

In 2014, Omaha Children’s Museum focused on refurbishing and recreating its
first floor permanent exhibits with the help from local Omaha organizations
such as First National Bank and Children’s Hospital & Medical Center. These
organizations worked closely with the museum’s creative team and Omaha-based design firm, Heartland Scenic Studio, to create interactive exhibits
that would inspire children to dream big. The funding, design, and fabrication of

SUMMER CAMPS
OCM summer camps were “light saber-tastic!” Ten summer camps were offered
to children ages two through eight and served over 781 campers. New
camps such as My Little One and Me and Kids Can Cook joined the lineup with
past favorites like Jedi Training Camp and SPLAT! Art Camp.
