Making our first trip to Omaha, going to our first CWS! Wanted to know if anyone had suggestions on other things to do while there?The first thing I found out is that there are slim pickings when it comes to RV parks @ the area.We are staying at the Louisville SRA campground.I am hoping it is like most state parks and is nice. The bad thing is there is not a lot of review info out there for these area parks so it is a blind test.Again any suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated

I've been to the Henry Doorly Zoo and it is pretty nice. I also think the Strategic Air Command has a museum in the area. Haven't been there yet but want to go.

The Strategic Air Command could be a really cool visit!Thanks!

LOL...Ummm thanks but no thanks on the "Buffet lunch"!

It's easy to get lost finding your way into and out of the park! You'll enjoy it, I'm sure. Still a good clip from Omaha, but not hard. If you're just looking for a stopover while attending the CWS, consider staying at the RV parks in Council Bluffs just across the river. Very close to the stadium. Have fun. Win.

Going to the CWS is on my bucket list when I retire in three years. I hear just the activities associated with that is enough to keep you busy. Anyway have a great time and post when you get back with oe of the things you did and places you went.

I tried to get into Mahoney State Park but they were full.
I can always look into it once we are there.

Mahoney State Park is a super neat place with lots to do. You might want to check it out. I think about half of their sites are reservable, the rest are walk-up. I used to be an expert at getting those, but haven't been there in a while. You might call and find the best time to get one.

Gretna KOA is WAY overpriced. There is a private owned CG just west of the KOA on I80, not sure what it is called. Louisville SRA is very nice, spread out, but a distance from the ballpark. Checkout the Zoo, Old Market, Pedestrian bridge, breweries, good restaurants, casinos (one has a cement CG that would be 5mins from the ball park), Mahoney SP (even if you don't camp there), many large outdoor shopping areas, UP RR Museum and Dodge House in Co Bluffs. And don't go to lunch with Buffett, he will make you pick up the tab. :)
