We went on our honeymoon and a couple times since we've had kids. I love this zoo, there's so much to see and it is a good day-long trip. It's big enough that the crowds don't seem to be an issue. The penguin house is great, I love the bears.
My DH and I, however, do not like the desert dome. If you are like us and have a ...
Our family loves the Henry Doorly Zoo and it is MUST if you visit Omaha, but I found very interesting fact about zoo membership. I thought that zoo membership usually would be an annual membership. So, if you purchase your membership on May, 09, your membership would be good through May, 2010. Apparently,if you purchase your membership in Dec, 09, ...
I have been to many zoos in the U.S. I have to say that this zoo is by far better than any I have ever seen. If you genuinely like animals this is a great place for you because you can see them in the closest thing to their wild habitat that there can be. It truly is a zoo, opposed to an amusement park with an animal theme as I have seen many ...
My kids love the aquarium. This is by far the best zoo we have been to. We love going, it is worth every penny and the long drive to get there. We haven't been in a while and I am sure it has changed a little since our last visit, but we still enjoy it. Just plan on making it an all day trip if you want to see it all.

This is the best place ever! Go to the Kingdom of the Night!!
Totally worth every penny! Food, cost to get in, merry go round - nothing is real expensive and we had a ball! Love the exhibits & the Henry Doorly Zoo is just incredible! Great job guys & we can't wait to come back. Our almost 3 year old son had an incredible time! Helps that we had a perfect weather day & in August! Temps in the low 80's.

Visted Zoo traveling from Louisiana
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/04/08
I have visited, Jackson MS Zoo, Yazoo City MS Zoo, St Louis MO Zoo, & I feel this zoo really has something going for it. The desert dome, the gorilla viewing spots were amazing. The viewing bubbles were awesome to be able to get that close to wild animals. It was, however, sad to see the tigers outside in the heat. They are probably used to air ...

One of the Best Zoos
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/26/08
The Desert Dome exhibit of this zoo rivaled exhibits from San Diego as the best I have ever seen. They made it very realistic and interesting and even the information on the signs was interesting.
We have a membership to the Omaha Zoo, and we've had one for the last 5 years. We go to the zoo numerous times during the year, and we always have a good time. They've recently added a butterfly house, and that is really neat. We also like the Lied Jungle, the Kingdom of the Night, the aquarium... we like everything! I would definitely recommend this zoo to anyone, of all ages. There's something for everyone to see!
Living in Omaha I have to say that my favorite thing is our Zoo. It's always clean and there is always something to see. They are always expanding and working on new projects!!! I have to say that my favorite thing to do is to feed the fish with Cheerios and also to feed the monkeys down by the fish by buying some cheap apples at the store ...
