Help us celebrate the start of Common Senses Festival 2026 with a day of discovery, creativity, music, and family-friendly fun across some of Omaha’s most iconic destinations!

Start your adventure at The Durham Museum, where a special model train pop-up with the Nebraska-Iowa Railroaders Society will invite guests to explore intricate railroad displays and celebrate the magic of movement and imagination.

From there, hop aboard one of UNO’s complimentary shuttle buses and head to the KANEKO, where guests will participate in an immersive exploration in the Sensory Yard exhibit. Engage your curiosity through hands-on experiences, sensory discovery, and interactive installations designed to spark wonder and connection.

Guests are encouraged to visit the two locations throughout the day using UNO’s free shuttle service, making it easy to experience every pop-up, activity, and attraction. Whether you’re a train enthusiast, a dance-floor regular, or a family seeking a new adventure, the Common Senses Festival Kick-Off has something for everyone.
