The Omaha Area is overflowing with water fun and adventures! Whether you’re looking to cool off at a local splash pad, dive into an outdoor swimming pool, or get some laps in at an indoor pool — Omaha Mom has you covered. Grab your beach towel and dive in!
Omaha Mom has put together the Ultimate Guide to Splash Pads and Swimming Pools in the Omaha Area. We’ve organized the guide by geographic neighborhood and included links so you can find all the additional information about COVID restrictions, admission cost, membership fees, etc. straight from the source.
Thank you to our sponsor Montessori Education Centers for helping us provide this valuable local resource. To learn more about the fabulous education offered at the Montessori Education Centers click here!
