Join us at 12:00 CT this Thursday, September 7th, 2023, to learn about the new Luminator Program at Omaha’s exciting Kiewit Luminarium. Find information on how to join here: education.ne.gov/21stcclc/stayc… Feel free to forward this invitation to others who might be interested in joining.

Heads up! Until September 15th, Riverfront Drive is closed from 8th Street to the Discovery Playground at Lewis & Clark Landing. If you're coming to visit the Luminarium, Fig., or the park, you can get here by taking Abbott Drive to Riverfront Drive.

Volleyball fans, you're going to love the reopened RiverFront parks! You'll find five sand courts ready for action right next to our building. Grab a group of friends and a ball, and make your way down to play a game (and give us a visit before or after)!

Gather your crew and dive into a new kind of game night at adults-only Night Light this Thursday from 7-10 pm! Try hands-on games that start conversations and spark competition. Tickets are available at kiewitluminarium.org/tickets. See you there!

Night Light: Bug Life! this Thursday is a chance to learn about bugs with Polite Gardens and Omaha Bug Symposium, while listening to tunes by Lowercase Tres. This one-night-only event will feature art, lectures, demos, and live bugs. Get your tickets at kiewitluminarium.org/tickets

Our Maker Space recently featured Rhythm Blocks, where Luminators and guests connected battery-powered circuits to wheels on blocks in motion to drive a wooden mallet, producing a rhythmic beat. It was a hit, so we look forward to bringing it back in the future!

Need a pick-me-up? It’s National Coffee Day! Treat yourself to a warm or iced cup of joe today at Fig. and enjoy views of the Missouri River. Sip, savor, and enjoy your day!

Add Kiewit Luminarium chocolates to your holiday wishlist! We're excited about this cocoa-collab with Chocolat Abeille that arrived in the Store today. Stop in to pick up some decadent chocolate treats and more gifts for everyone on your shopping list.

SCIENCE IS FUN: My schedule finally worked out this week so I could go to adults only night Kiewit Luminarium. There are so many great hands-on activities for all ages to enjoy. I’d definitely recommend it if you haven’t been there yet! #Omaha

Due to the forecasted winter storm, Kiewit Luminarium will be closed on Monday, January 8, 2024. Stay safe, and we look forward to welcoming you soon!

Due to the weather, we will be closed to the public on Friday, January 12, 2024. We are planning to be open this weekend and on Monday, January 15. Stay safe, and we look forward to welcoming you soon!

We had a lovely time dissecting roses, uncovering the science behind smooches, and sampling chocolate treats in our Lovers Lounge during the first Chemistry of Love Night Light! Programming runs throughout February, so check it out during your next weekend or evening visit.

Hello Pie Pals! There's some housekeeping notes at the end of this post, but FIRST! It's the most magical, mathematical, munchtastic time of year -- PI DAY! And we're celebrating this Thursday at the most perfect place for Pi Day: the Kiewit Luminarium!

Happy Pi Day! Due to the rain, Pi Day activities scheduled for today with The RiverFront team and other partners will be moved inside the Luminarium, kicking off with the Pi Day Parade at 1:59 pm. Join us this afternoon with the family or tonight for Night Light. See you soon!

It was a little too cold this morning to take the students to the zoo, so we ended up taking them to the Kiewit Luminarium. I would say they had a blast!! Skills kick off tonight and competition matches start tomorrow!

Attention basketball fans: we're teaming up with UNO Pitching Lab and Omaha Sports Medicine and Biomechanics Lab for this week's Night Light! Compete with friends through NBA combine exercises and answer the question, "Can you measure up to a D1 athlete?" Get your tickets at kiewitluminarium.org/events/night-l…

We're turning a year old this month, and we’re ready to celebrate at a special b-day Night Light on Thurs, 4/18! Join us for gallery-themed cupcakes, a toast at 8 pm (including something to toast with), and music from Parfait. Tickets are available at bit.ly/3UroV29

It's official...we're one year old! 🎉 Thanks to everyone who joined us for Night Light last night to celebrate the community we've built together. The celebration continues with more live music tomorrow: Heartland Flute Choir at 12 pm and Parfait at 2 pm. See you here!

"It's a place where you can change the flow of a stream, make music together, test how fingertip sweat shows inner feelings, build a machine to topple dominoes, and more." Thanks Nebraska Public Media for featuring us in your "Nebraska Stories" series! 🔗: bit.ly/3UEaGpp

The Luminarium is open this week! You may have seen The RiverFront's update that parts of The RiverFront are temporarily closed due to the river's rising waters. However, Kiewit Luminarium, Fig., the playground, and parking lots are open. Follow The RiverFront for updates.
