The Durham Museum is located in the historic Union Station in downtown Omaha, offering a fascinating look at regional history and broad-ranging traveling exhibits. The beautiful architecture itself is a sight to see. Visitors of all ages find something to enjoy, from the permanent exhibits like the trains to walk through, the model trains, and the huge coin collection, to the wonderful rotating special exhibits. It is a fabulous museum for everyone, including little kids, with room for them to move and often kid-friendly components. The experience is fun and well worth checking out, easily filling a few hours. While some find the layout a bit difficult to navigate, requiring some backtracking, the museum is very clean and roomy. Highlights include the short film about Omaha, the soda fountain, and the enormous Christmas tree during the holiday season. The staff are noted for their kindness. Many visitors find a membership to be worthwhile and return often with family and grandchildren.
Great place to learn some history and let the kids play. My daughter absolutely loved the Disney exhibit. I really enjoyed going through the trains. Very interesting place!

Got to see the Disney costume display. Was really amazing. Great fun with magnetic costume wall, and fabric costume design area for kids. Trains super fun and history engaging as always.
