NICKELODEON’S TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES™: SECRETS OF THE SEWER™
Exhibit opens May 26, 2018 and runs through Sept. 2, 2018
Omaha, NE - Experience the first-ever museum exhibit featuring the four heroic ninjas-in-training — Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ at the Omaha Children’s Museum this summer! Leap to the rescue and learn teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving as you work your way through puzzles, mazes, and obstacles. Explore their sewer-like lair, where good guys win and bad guys lose! Since 1984, these four iconic brothers have rocked it with their talent and teamwork, inspiring generations. Now families can join these pizza-eating, crime-fighting Heroes in a Half-Shell to hone their ninja skills and problem-solving intellects while learning the secrets of the sewer!
The Turtles are known and respected for their teamwork. As the TMNT’s sensei and adoptive father Splinter often tells them, “Together there is nothing you cannot accomplish.” Through team-building challenges, collaborative games and mind-teasing puzzles, families and friends will learn skills to help them successfully work together. Here are a few examples:
- Collaborative games and puzzles
- Pizza Thrower (a device that shoots out pizza pies).
- Obstacle courses through the turtles’ sewer lair
- Ninja skills training
Daily educational programs will be held in the exhibit space, include:

The Turtles took the comic book world by storm in 1984—and since then Donnie, Raph, Leo and Mikey have brought Turtle Power to cartoons, movies, video games and toys! Children and families across the nation will have the opportunity to explore Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Secrets of the Sewer as it travels to children’s museums and science centers coast to coast.

Kim Reiner, the museum’s director of PR and marketing: “This is a once-in-a-few-years thing that we’ll bring in something big like this. It will be very recognizable for both the kids who are growing up on it now and for adults like us who remember when it first came out.” (The heroes in a half-shell have been fighting crime for 34 years.)
