Papio Fun Park Review

Are you looking for family fun in Omaha?  I know I always am looking for something to do with the kids.

Nestled in Papillion, is a little place we had to try.  What do they have?  Go Karts, Water Wars, Lazer Tag, Miniature Golf the USA, Batting Cages, Arcade, and (Trampoline fun) Jumpshot, and Spaceball.  All that equals to hours of family fun.  Most of it you can get unlimited by purchasing wrist bands that are on sale for $12 right now.  They are having a great BOGO free deal here. 

Last week we ventured out for some fun.  We decided Papio why? My son and nephew can not get enough of the place.  My nephew favorite thing is the Miniature Golf, My sons favorite things are the Go Karts and Lazer Tag. We always start with Golf.

The Golf course is very cute and it is challenging.  My nephew is very competitive and likes to win.  What excites them the most about it? I think it is the fact if we get a hole in one you get a free tootsie roll.  We usually play around 4 rounds of golf until we have to leave.  Timmy (my son) tends to not like the golf as much but loves the Lazer Tag.







Lazer Tag is a fun fast competitive area where your in the dark maze and you try scoring the most points on the other team.  I volunteered to go with the kids but they wanted Adults vs Kids.  They should of picked me.  I am really good at this game.  We ran around for 10 mins zapping each other.  The best part? Hearing the kids giggles are they ran from us.   Of course my team won but that was not important.  We had fun and that is important.  Next? My sons other favorite thing!  Go Kartz

Go Kartz is amazing! The course is huge and fun!  The only thing is my son is afraid to let anyone pass him because he has been bumped quite a bit. Other than that is a extremely fun and fast!  The kids get longer on the track than I think any other Go Carts I have ever seen.  So then, What next?  The kids played Spaceball.

Spaceball is a fun trampoline area where two kids are sectioned off and battle for points.  The kids love jumping on the trampolines and do not even keep score.  It's so cute I wanted to join.

The arcade of course is separate from the bands but it is lots of fun.  Earn tickets for toys or other fun prizes.  The games are average priced and adds even more fun to the place.  We love the pool tables in the arcade. They are so much fun.

Another fast paced fun area is the Batting Cages.  This too is separate from the bands but does not cost much.  You pay by minutes.    They have several batting cage rooms and the kids love it.

Food and drink.  Yes, they have that too.  I love the little drink containers you can buy and bring back every time for unlimited pop refills.  They have a good variety of foods to satisfy your and your kids hunger.

Lastly, I really would like to thank Papio Fun Park and USFamilyguide for providing us with this fun filled day!  Thank you!

Creation Station in Omaha Review

Picture Gallery

Nestled in a small shopping area is a wonderful and fun little place called Creation Station.  It is a family owned operation that allows children and adults to explore their creativity.   They are wonderfully priced and very affordable compared to other Pottery painting places in or around the Omaha area.


  Looking for fun?  I Highly recommend them!

Painting prices are $5 for kids and $8 for Adults.  Includes:  "Includes paints, supplies, as much time as you need in the studio and firing!"

Then you pick your piece and one lovely thing I think is great is they ask the parent to make sure the price is ok.  That is really great because my boys where aiming for big pieces not in my budget.  The smaller pieces make it where I can visit multiple times a year and let the boys get carried away by Creativity.

Me and My family went to try out this place that I found in a google search engine.  The wonderful owner of the shop agreed to a free session in exchange for an honest review.  First off you walk in and they let you pick out your pottery piece and find a seat.  They also have private rooms in case you are in need of personal space or quiet time.  (My son is Autistic and is on the Asperger's side so this is really great.)  The kids picked out the pottery pieces and went to our private room.  Then the staff comes in and ask the children what colors they would like.  Yes, They wait on you and your kids.  (My nephew loved the comfy soft seats.)  The kids can choose as many colors as they can think off.  The kids were nothing but smiles after that.  They where painting and enjoying themselves.  (Most know that I was almost a Early Childhood Educator.  I took the schooling just never finished. )  I know there is nothing like a child getting to use their creative side.

The pieces are amazingly priced I saw ones as cheap as $7 and the perfect sized ones for my kids where around the $9-$11 price range for tot and kids pottery.

I want to thank the wonderful family and Staff because the kids can not wait to return and do it again.  The Staff was amazing.  Timmy loved being waited on.  They check on you frequently to see how everything is and to see if you have questions or need new paint.  One thing I also loved was they do things with  special needs kids and are doing future things with Autistic Children and other groups.  They made it that much better of an experience.

Now we wait for pick up which is a much shorter time compared to other studios.  They take about a week and to me that is perfect!  The kids are dying to know what their finished project looks like.  I will have final pictures posted as soon as we get them!

Looking for amazing family time and being creative at the same time?  I highly recommend Creation Station located at:
