Wondering what to do on a cold winter day?  What to do with the kids who seem to be bouncing off the wall?  It’s too cold for them to play outside for more than 10 mintues, and you looking for someplace warm to go? Why not load everyone up and head on over to the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo!   If you happen to live in the Omaha Nebraska area, what are you waiting for?  If you live outsdie the Omaha area and you are looking for an overnight winter get-a-way, what could be better than heading to the jungle, the ocean, the desert all in the same overnight trip.  That’s right, you will find all of this and more at the Henry Doorly Zoo.  And lets not forget about one of the largest collection of Big Cat’s in the country.  So, what are you waiting for, see you there!

Has it been a while since you visited the Henry Doorly Zoo?  Or, perhaps you have never been to the Omaha zoo?  If you have never been, you are in for a surprise and a huge treat!  If you just haven’t been back to the zoo a couple of years, you will find a number of new additions and changes.  If there is one thing I have seen over the years, it is that the Henry Doorly Zoo is not one of those places that once you have seen it, you’ve seen it all.  This is one zoo that has managed to grow and change on an ongoing basis, being the premiere zoo that it is.

So if you are in Omaha to see a little College World Series, or some Olympic Swim Trials, and you looking for even more to see, be sure to put the Henry Doorly Zoo on your bucket list!

The latest change has been an update to the aquarium which has added even more exhibits than in the past.  So, stick around an extra day if needed, as this is one of the sights you will want to see again and again.
