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.
