On our last day in Omaha, we decided to visit
Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. We didn't have any plans on going to the zoo, since we've already been to a lot of zoos throughout our travels. But after hearing so many people say we MUST visit the zoo (it's one of the best in the nation), we thought we may as well visit (because when will we be in Omaha again?).
I am SO glad we visited the zoo. It was one of the highlights of my trip!
With over 160 acres of exhibits and thousands of animals, Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is the best zoo I've ever visited.
There were so many attractions, exhibits, and experiences, and we squeezed in as much as we could!
We saw so many amazing animals, including a red panda, Indian rhino, elephants, orangutans, pelicans, zebras, antelopes, lions, and so much more!
We even saw a baby gorilla that was born just the month before!
There were lots of cool experiences, including a Lemur Walkway (the lemurs roam around amongst the humans!) and a
Giraffe Encounter, where we could feed the giraffes!
There were so many fantastic exhibits at the Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium that made it stand out from any other zoo I've visited.
The Mahoney Kingdoms of the Night is an exhibit full of nocturnal creatures; the Lied Jungle will have you walking through a rainforest as bats fly by (yes, bats!); Desert Dome, the world's largest indoor desert, is complete with caves and cliffs housing animals from Australia and Africa; the Butterfly & Insect Pavilion will have you strolling amongst fluttering butterflies of all colors!
There is even a huge playground, a carousel, a train, and many other kid-friendly activities.
I'm so glad we visited Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium! It was definitely an incredible zoo!
