Beautiful facility! It's huge! My hubby parked at the door rather than driving on to the hotel facility. When I finally heard voices , I was in the kitchen! One of the chef's walked me to the front desk to get our room keys. It was a distance back to the car. Nice looking golf, and mini golf courses! I think they can serve thousands?

AquaVenture

Reviewed By DaveAlyce S - Omaha, Nebraska

I recently took 10 grandkids(4-16 ages) and 3 grown kids to Aqua venture water park, June 2015. WHAT a fabulous place to have fun. My entire family was pleased with my idea too. Everyone wants to go back. The water was so clean and the staff was very helpful and pleasant. We live in Omaha and the ride there was definetely worth the trip. It was one of the cleanest locker rooms and restrooms I have ever seen!!

This is an extensive museum that has perhaps the largest collection of hometown hero Johnny Carson memorabilia and collectibles. The Elkhorn Valley's history from the earliest inhabitants are featured in exhibits of varying styles of display. Be sure to spend plenty of time at this location.

Ta-Ha-Zouka Park

Reviewed By Cara R - Circleville, Ohio

My husband and I visited Norfolk, Nebraska for a terrier trial. The night that we arrived, the park was packed with families playing baseball and softball. It felt very safe and our first impression was favorable. We stayed in the campground for four nights. The area is well shaded and located next to the Cowboy Trail. In addition to the terrier trial that was primarily in the area near the dog park, there were families fishing, biking, and walking. There were a variety of shelter houses. We were very impressed with how tidy the grounds were kept by the staff. The area was also well patrolled by the Norfolk Police. For a city park, I found the variety of services to be very impressive.

Such a cool and fun place! There's a big play area for kids to climb and slide, like that of a fastfood playplace, but there's also several smaller areas to play. A room with instruments, a room to play house with a plastic kitchenette and tea sets and shopping cart, a toy house that little kids can play in, a dress up room with costumes, a ball pit, a smaller area for babies to play safely in a ball pit and such, little cars and scooters, a lego area and Thomas the train set, as well as a bubble machine that blasts out tons of bubbles. They don't really sell food here, so they have no problem you bringing in your own lunch to eat. My 2 year old had a blast here! It is so reasonably priced, plus they do birthday parties here - I was impressed with this place, and really wish our town had something similar. Great place for kids to play and run around.

Tip - bring your own socks for the kids to run around in on the mats, and yourself, if you're going to go on the mats. Otherwise they're available for purchase at the front desk, since shoes aren't allowed in the matted area.

King's Lanes

Reviewed By Philip S - Omaha, Nebraska

I have been here many times for bowling and it is about only place in Norfolk to do this that I know of. Many lanes and relatively good prices. I would definitely recommend it but caution people that the place needs some work to the interior.
