We came to Omaha for a trip to the Zoo and we were not disappointed. The Zoo is so big that we didn't even get a chance to see it all.
The train and tram services that are provided is well worth the money. It defiantly saves a lot of walking.
The only thing that I can say negativity is that they need more staff at the food and drink counters. Everyone that we went to had long lines and not very many workers assisting the customers.
But we will go back again.

Provided by DexKnowsWell love going to the Henry Doorly Zoo. They are always updating there facilities, have many different types of animals, and you can bring your own picnic into the zoo. This is a great place for children, families and couples alike. We go many times a year.

We had a great experience on our zoo adventure for the day. They had several exhibits, both indoor and out, which is great so you don't get to hot. You have to go check out the rainforest and aquarium!

Awesome zoo. Worth the trip.Do NOT go on a "free" day. We did and regret it. It could have been a better experience if it wasnt so crowed. I recommed going off season on a weekday to take your time and enjoy. We stayed all day and didnt get very far. Bring a cooler with plenty of food and drinks oh, and quarters to feed the fish. lol. Staff was everywhere and very friendly and helpful.

to have this fabulous zoo here in Omaha. I don't know how many days (or weeks?) it would take to see it all. I love to meander through the buildings when the weather isn't good. And I'd go to any Imax film they show. It can get expensive, but in this case, it's worth it.

to be proud of the zoo. The Imax theater is easy to reach, just inside the entrance. So you don't need to walk a long way with the family. Expensive films, but always wonderful. I've never regretted going.

The Imax theatre at the Henry Dooryly Zoo is awesome. It costs an aweful lot so you cannot go very often, but when you do go it is well worth the price. Great Entertainment.
