My husband wanted us to go to the zoo to see the penguins. He has a slight obsession. haha. We chose a not so great time to go, Labor Day, but we still had a great time. The butterfly house was the only exhibit that we could not get in to. The aquarium is right past the penguins, and my... more

This is the best zoo I have ever visited-- It's a place where you need more than two visits to see all the animals and attractions-- They have a train, Tran, and sky lift-- It's fun for both single families and children!! A must -do if you are in Omaha! more

First visit ever this past weekend. Weather was a bit chilly Saturday but lots of indoor opportunities. Loved the aquarium. The desert dome was huge. Loved the gorillas especially the infant gorilla born in July. Just adorable. Walked through the butterfly area and aviary. The butterflies weren't as active as we expected and boy was it hot inside. Also saw... more

This zoo is set in a large tree-shaded park. It has a wonderful rain forest to visit and a desert dome which is also outstanding. One can walk, take a tram or a train, or soar over the park on the skyfari. For $2 or $4 it's a bargain. Food and gift stores are available. The one very negative comment... more

The Henry Doorly Zoo has a lot of animals. It's one of the best zoos I've ever been to. There are so many neat exhibits to see that my kids got sick of it before we ran out of things to see. The only con is that things are pretty spread out, so there is a lot of walking. But... more

The zoo is pretty nice, the people suck. We lost a digital camera, not an expensive camera, but lots of important pictures from the last 3 months - graduation, birthday, summer camp. My 18yr old sat the camera down on a bench and we walked away without picking it up. We realized it was missing in less than 2 minutes,... more

Could be the best zoo experience for kids in the US. The aquarium, rainforest, creatures of the night, and desert portions are all disney world like for zoo. We went to the zoo on a Wednesday and there was not a huge crowd and we made it around in 1 day without getting very tired or the kids getting cranky... more

Great Fun

First off-don't come on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The zoo gets really crowded, and a pain to move around in. You won't be able to see all of the zoo- and believe me, you would be hard pressed to see everything if you were alone. The zoo has so much to see, and a lot of it is right out... more
