I can't say enough good things about this zoo. It is world class and worth every minute a person is willing to spend there. Almost all of the exhibits were open when we went. You have to check out the Nocturnal Animal Exhibit under the Desert Dome. I have never seen anything else like it. The aquarium was awesome. We... more

The Henry Doorly Zoo is our absolute favorite place to go in Omaha! We live a little over an hour away, but we still have a membership to the zoo, we've had one for the last six years, and we will have one until our kids are "too cool" to go to the zoo. This zoo is constantly adding new... more

We took our grandson to the zoo and had a great time. There is a lot to see and lots of walking. The only part I was disappointed in was the cost in the gift shop. I had problems with a scan disk on my digital camera and had to buy another.....I pay $20 for a 512 MB normally but... more

My family went here while in for a wedding. We were on a time crunch and couldn't see the entire zoo, but we do remember the cats and the primate house being excellent. If we were to go back to Omaha for any reason, we'd definitely stop and see the rest of the zoo. What we saw was promising. more

I've been to zoos all over the country, from big ones to small family run, and this is definately the best! We stayed over in the area two nights on our way to Kansas, and we still didn't see it all! If you want to visit you'd better stay a couple of days to see everything this zoo has to... more

We love the Henry Doorley Zoo and have been there twice so far. We intend to go there again to see the Desert attraction that has been added since our last visit. more

The zoo itself is simply amazing. It is worth every penny to see. They have so many interesting animals and exhibits. The problem was all the people. We went there a few years back and it was fun. We returned a few years later on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon and it was a nightmare. There were so many people... more

When I read the other reviews, I was a bit skeptical that a zoo in Nebraska could be all that. It was. Brookfield Zoo is our home zoo, so our bar is set pretty high. This is a zoo I wish we had in Chicago. Nicely set up and a great collection of animals. What really sets this zoo apart... more

Oh my, this was well worth the money (adults - 10.25 each and children 8.50)! The parking is free! The zoo had such a beautiful setting for each animal exhibit and you could get close enough to actually see the animals! THe kids also enjoyed the little goat petting area! There is a bridge over a koi "pond" river with... more

I am very impressed with our city's zoo. I have been to San Diego's zoo, and this one is better. San Diego may have more animals, but Henry Doorly has more animals on exhibit, PLUS the displays are better. More animal friendly and cleaner. It is a wonderful family adventure, GO! more
