Rules & Regulations

Papio Bay Aquatic Center's management staff reserves the right to remove any guest from the facility or revoke season pass privileges for any severe or continuous violation of pool regulations or the season pass contractual agreement.

Hours of operation may be altered at any time during the season due to special circumstances (i.e. inclement weather, maintenance/safety concerns, staff shortages, private parties, etc.)

If Papio Bay does happen to close early due to inclement weather, we offer not refunds and no rain checks.

When Papio Bay reaches capacity, no entries will be allowed in during that time. Staff will re-evaluate after an hour.
