We wish we would have arrived earlier and was able to stay later. So much to see, make sure you have on comfortable walking shoes.

We decided to head out to Omaha for the long weekend and the zoo was one of our top things we wanted to do. We actually just came back from San Diego a few weeks ago and spent a day at the famous zoo out there. I can honestly say that the Henry Doorly Zoo is just as good, and...

Open, airy, and well maintained. My favorite part was the penguins. Bathrooms are plentiful and clean.

If you go plan on spending the day and plan on crowds. We really enjoyed all of the exhibits, especially the Lied Jungle, big cats and the aquarium.

We got there right at 9 and didn't leave until 5:30. So much to see, its easy to spend the whole day there. The zoo itself is beautiful and has many different areas to visit. Overall great experience and worth the trip!

We loved the skyfari. So many things to see the only thing I didn't like was the ton of schools there on a field trip could barley walk through some exhibits. I would recommend going in the afternoon it wasn't very busy around two.

Amazing exhibits, friendly staff, and easy to get around. Unless you are mauled by a bear, it would be impossible not to enjoy a day at the Omaha Zoo!

We were told by relatives if we're ever in Omaha to be sure to go the zoo so when we had a chance to stay a few days on a trip back from Branson we did. My wife and I and our daughter who is handicapped and in a wheelchair as well as my son, his wife and two children...
