Fun Rides and Water Parks in Nebraska

Want to build fun into your visit to Omaha, Nebraska? A day at one of these amusement parks is sure to entertain the whole family.

CoCo Key Water Park
The weather isn't a problem when you visit this 65,000 square foot indoor water park in Omaha. Bring your own towel or rent one there—you'll need it! With 1,000 feet of slides reaching more than five stories tall, there'll be a big splash on your landing! Although there are lifeguards, life vests are suggested for children and non-swimmers.

The littlest guests will love the Kiddie Pool with its gentle slide. The Adventure Pool, Parrot's Perch, and Coral Reef Cavern offer more active, challenging fun. Take it easy on the Coconut Grove Adventure River. Swoop down to the water in the dark tunnel of the Barracuda Blast slide. Adults will want to find quiet time in the whirlpools of the Palm Grotto Spa. Step out of the water and soak up the warmth of the park's sun deck or hang out together in a private cabana.

Besides the water fun, the park features an arcade hosting more than 50 electronic games. Collect tickets and win a prize. You can also enjoy food and drinks at the snack shop and bar.

Family Fun Center XL
There's giant-size fun at Family Fun Center XL in Omaha. Spend the day playing arcade games or get active in the center's other activities.

The arcade is filled with modern and classic games like Mario Kart, Star Wars Trilogy, Centipede, and Pac-Man. Show of your skills and collect electronic tickets to redeem for prizes, or grab a prize with a crane in one of the prize games.

Lasertag is a whole different game when you play a themed game like Wizarding Lasertag or Rebel Squad Lasertag. Gain skills and achievements, and when you're experienced, play in intermediate and advanced modes. Maybe see if your laser shooting skills transfer over when you play a game of indoor paintball?

Enjoy a game of Glow Golf, and up the entertainment level by playing in "mischief mode." Another twist on the game is Soccer Mini-Golf.

Other challenges at the center include a laser maze, rock climbing wall, and foot pool. Take a break from the action and dig into the unlimited XL buffet.

Fun-Plex
Fun-Plex in Omaha combines a water park and rides making one whole day of fun.

Get wet in the water park. The Kiddie Pool is great for little ones. Find waves in the Motion Ocean, slide down the five-story Typhoon Falls, or tube around the Lazy River. Grown-ups will want to linger in the 21+ Breakers Bay pool with swim-up bar. To hang out with the whole family, rent a cabana for the day.

Be sure to leave time for the park's rides, which include the only rollercoaster in the state. You can also enjoy the Balloon Ferris Wheel or the Rock-o-Plane, which adds a flip to your car as the wheel rotates. Spin around on the Carousel or Tilt-a-Whirl, or see how fast you go on the Speedway and Slick Track. Kiddie Land makes sure the kids aren't left out of the fun, with a junior-sized rollercoaster and other scaled-down rides.
