Cat's Village: Come Play in Cat's World

Spectators and Families

When Cat elected to play her collegiate softball at the University of Texas, one of the primary reasons she chose that university was because it was close enough for her family to come and watch her play. Family has always been a big part of Cat’s life and success, and she believes the same holds true for a lot of other athletes too — especially younger ones.

That’s why the complex was designed and created to be a family experience with activities and features that were intended for the enjoyment of both the family and the athlete.

So the Cat Osterman Experience would like to invite you and your entire family to come and have an experience that will be treasured for years and years to come. Come and spend hours on the 3-story water slide, dry-off and visit the video arcade.

Want something more laid back? Watch a web-broadcast and visit the pro-shop where the shopping is great – pick up your favorite bit of memorabilia and paraphernalia, or grab the latest pieces of equipment and gear. These are to name just a few of the daytime activities available to you, your athlete and your entire family.

Wednesday evenings stay alive for families at the Cat Osterman Experience. Listen to a live band while you fill your plate at the family barbeque. Make sure your camera is close by, because it's all smiles and laughs at the grand opening and closing ceremonies. Get ready to have the hair on your arms stand up as you witness your athlete and their teammates inducted into the U.S. Girls Softball Hall of Fame. This is where proud parents and siblings get to see their athlete recognized for her achievements with the coveted U.S. Girls Softball Hall of Fame bracelet and pendant.

Looking for more? The city of Bellevue is near a myriad of local attractions just a short drive away, with something to entertain each member of your family. There's the Omaha Fun Plex and Water Park, the Henry Doorly Zoo and the nationally acclaimed Sky Safari. Want even more? Well, the Omaha Children's Museum, the Omaha Magic Theater and the AK.SAR.BEN Aquarium and Nature Center, or a tour of the U.S. Air Force Base should keep you busy! And for those adults wanting something a little more grown up, you'll find local casinos only 15 minutes from the park. You'll hardly have time to see it all!

So when you pack for the Cat Osterman Experience, bring your flip flops, your walking and playing shoes and some shorts. But most importantly, beat the system, bring your entire family, your video camera and take a lot of snap shots, because this will be one family vacation you will turn back to for the lasting bonds and memories it created, again and again.
