After enjoying the sweet treat and demonstrations, explore the museum. Current exhibits include: Towers of Tomorrow with Lego Bricks; The Lunchbox: Packed with Pop Culture; and Honoring 75 Year: The History of Omaha’s World War II Memorial Park.

Admission is $15 for adults and $8 for children ages 3 to 12. Children under 2 are free. There are discounts for military veterans and seniors.
