The 9 Best Water & Amusement Parks in Nebraska, United States

February 1, 2022 Nicolette Lion

Nebraska has something for everyone. From cowboys to wine industry, you’ll find many attractions when you visit this Great Plains state. If you are planning a family vacation to Nebraska, you won’t want to miss the Lincoln Children's Zoo in the state capital. Featuring more than 400 animals, you and the kids can see Amur leopards, Bactrian camels, river otters, eagles, crocodiles, reindeer, and more. At the zoo’s Butterfly Pavilion you can watch as butterflies emerge from their cocoon. The Aquacourt Family Water Park in Hastings features a wave pool, climbing wall and waterslides. In Omaha, Nebraska’s largest city, you won’t want to miss the Omaha Children's Museum. For history buffs, Lincoln is your place. This city is home to the Nebraska History Museum, with permanent exhibits that interpret more than 12,000 years of human experience on the Plains. You can make history personal in Lincoln with a visit to the Nebraska State Historical Society Headquarters, where you can research your family history. Omaha is also home to The Durham Museum, featuring restored train cars, 1940's storefronts and other historical artifacts. For a bit of Nebraska heritage, make sure you visit Front Street and Cowboy Museum in Ogallala and the Tri-State Old Time Cowboys Memorial Museum in Gordon. Learn about the area’s wine industry and history on a Nebraska Cork & Bottle Tour through Raymond, Pawnee City, Lexington and St. Paul, sampling fine wines and taking in the scenic views.

We accidentally came in on free appetizers with our wine tasting. The tastes were delicious, hospitality was friendly and generous. There was even a VERY crabby customer who was handled with grace and she ended up happy. That's not easy in dealing with the public.

Love the 21-and-over pool - you can relax with a drink while your kids run wild in the rest of the park.

I've been here a few times, twice with kids, and once with just my other half. It's a lot of fun, but I would try to avoid busy times, as there is a line for everything. Going later at night means you'll have more room in the lazy river, and on the bigger water slides.
