Papio Bay

Papio Bay is always a fun time! However its best to come before they open and wait in line so you don’t have to sit on the grass.

Papio Bay is a great, clean, safe aquatic center. My children love the slides and diving boards. I appreciate the cleanliness and affordability. Whenever I ask my children which pool they want to go to, they say «Papio Bay!» without hesitation.
Happy 20^th anniversary!

My kids always have fun at Papio Bay, and we are considering buying a season pass this year. It can get to be a bit pricey if you go more than a few times, and seriously overcrowded (and full) if you get there too late — so definitely plan on being there before it opens if you want to be guaranteed entrance.
The slides are a lot of fun and appeal to all ages. The smaller slide is available for parents to slide down with little ones who can’t go alone, so it’s great for my two year old who would otherwise be stuck at the kiddie pool — another great feature. The gated off kiddie area is great for the little ones to get out of the overcrowded big pool. I’m not sure that I like the big sand pit right next to the pool; the thought of digging wet sticky sand out of every crevice does not appeal to me, so we hit that area first before the little one gets in the pool.

This is where EVERYONE goes to cool off during the hot summer in Sarpy County. I’m personally more of a lake guy, but this place has it all for a swimming pool. Water slides, wading pool, diving board, and a concession stand. You can sit with everyone else by the pool, but I recommend setting up camp on the hill in the shade.
