Suit Up and Gear Up

Pretend City Children’s Museum is excited to announce our summer exhibit: Super Powers from Omaha Children’s Museum. Super Powers exhibit dissects the life of everyday caped crusaders and how their powers work to make the world a better place.  This exhibit introduces children to the mental and physical powers displayed by everyday superheroes and allows them to put these powers to the test through daily educational missions.

What Themes Are Explored?

Super Powers explores the individuals and organizations that work to make the world a better place each day.  Everyday superheroes include:  veterinarians, military personnel, doctors, public safety officers, scientists, educators and more.  Weekly programming will highlight super heroes in our community in addition to exploring future careers in our When I Grow Up programming.

A Place For Every Child To Be A Superhero

Discover your inner hero and unlock your super powers in this kid-sized super power training ground. Fly, zip and smash your way through a real-life comic book city. Build your body and your bravery as you tackle challenges and complete missions throughout the exhibit and gear up with gadgets and gizmos that enhance your powers. Zip across the city and leap from rooftop to rooftop, charge the fuel cell and weave yourself through a web climber. Test your agility and nimbleness in the laser rope maze, create your own superhero comic at the comic creation station, grab a cape and take flight in the soaring simulator and gear up by creating your own cape and mask at the super powers headquarters.

This special exhibit will inspire children and their families to discover their inner hero as they build their bravery and tackle challenges. “The exhibit has been created around the idea that every child is a superhero. We want children to believe in themselves. This exhibit will help empower children so that they believe in their own abilities to make a difference in the world,” says museum executive director Sandra Bolton.
