  • This children's museum is by far the best I have ever been to. There is something for everyone to enjoy. There is an area for infants that has mirrors, puppets, climbing structures, etc. If your child is really mobile, have them ride in the firetruck, pretend that they are a football player, expl... more on TripAdvisor
  • We loved the children's museum--all three floors of it. Sit in a real tractor, fire truck, airplane....play football and volleyball, ride in a space shuttle, climb on the prairie dog hill, make pizzas, be a television announcer. Be a Veterinarian, or a doctor. Ride the motorcycles. Go to jail. Ac... more on TripAdvisor

  • The Sheldon is on the campus of the University of Nebraska--just south of the huge (and expanding) football stadium. Nebraska is famed for football, of course. The art on campus deserves equal recognition. The Sheldon's architecture by Phillip Johnson gets mixed reviews, but it is handsomely ... more on Yahoo! Travel
