The Beauty of The Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge.
Sep 2021 • Couples
Enjoyed it all but if we must pick one ..🤔
We'd have to say the Bridge itself the changing colors at night with the back drop of Omaha City was beautiful.
Definitely worth seeing , including walking around the Park on both sides once off the Bridge.

Pleasant evening stroll
Jul 2021
We came by late in the day while the sun was setting just as the lights on the bridge were coming on. It was niffy to feel the breezy off the water and see the sun set. Great spots for pictures.

The bridge with a blue troll
Aug 2021 • Family
Fun place to go. A little over a mile to walk across and back. Handicap accessible. Cool looking at night with all the lights.

Walked the Bob
Aug 2021 • Family
Our party of 5 walked on the Bob from the Nebraska side. We walked to the center and stood in both Iowa and Nebraska the same time. The Missouri River was interesting to see from above and we spent about 30 minutes. Certainly a nice pedestrian bridge. We may have spent more time, but the weather was starting to get a little bit rainy so we didn’t stay long.

Nice walk!
Jul 2021
The bridge is a decent walk, but be sure to bring water and use sunscreen if you go during the day. It was relaxing watching the river flower under the bridge and was cool to stand at the spot that showed where Nebraska and Iowa meet.
There is a Lewis and Clark museum on the property as well with a few items to look at and mall gift shop.
I would have loved to do this walk at night as I hear it is gorgeous with the lights lit up, but we were in town for only a few hours.

Nice walk very clean area
Jul 2021 • Family
Great place to take a walk in a clean area. Some small fountains near by and nice views up and down the river. All this is though is a photo opportunity to take standing in nebraska and kansas at the same time.

Very nice Walk
Jul 2021 • Couples
We have an excellent pedestrian bridge over the Arkansas River in Little Rock so we looked forward to walking the Kerrey Bridge. It was great. We were out the before, during, and after sunset. It was a fun, relaxing, safe environment. Did not disappoint!

Evening Walk
Jul 2021
We visited around sundown and it was the perfect time to go! Although the crowds were big and the bridge was full it was beautiful up there. Seeing it get darker and the lights on the bridge brighten up was so pretty! There are a lot of people on bikes or skateboards so you kind of have to watch out for them especially if you have little ones walking with you.

Fun

This was recommended by someone who had visited Omaha recently, and I am glad we went. It was fun to walk and see the river and stand in 2 states at the same time.

Walk to Iowa!
Jul 2021 • Solo
Fun easy walk across the Missouri River. I enjoyed the informative signs along the way. I recommend against this walk in extreme wind- motion sickness a possibility.

Where is the nearest parking on the NE side? Is it a paid/free loot, metered street, etc.? Thanks!

On the Omaha side: There is a free parking lot at the riverboat. Use Maps and type in Miller’s Landing or River City Star and follow the driving directions to park your vehicle. Then walk the paved sidewalk South to the bridge. Note: during covid, there are closures along Freedom Park Road to the North and at Heartland of America to the South. Your best bet is the riverboat landing.

Hey I'm curious, on the Omaha side of the Bob Kerrey bridge, did there used to be a light up grass sculpture, that swayed in the wind? where the splash pad is?
I've visited recently and didn't see it,
I wonder if it got moved to a museum or something,
What hours is the bridge open?

How do I get to the bridge from Council Bluffs?

You can park pretty close if you go in the Ameristar Casino entrance and go all the way to the west ( towards the river) then turn Right into the parking lot. You will proceed through the lot to an access road continues and then that has parking under the interstate bridge.
