Visit Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium for a two-for-one experience. The combination of the zoo and the aquarium makes it one of the best zoos in the US. And with over two million visitors every year, it’s a popular destination while visiting Nebraska.

With over 130 acres, you’ll need to plan for an entire day at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium to see just a fraction of the exciting things that it has in store. It’s home to nearly 1,000 species from around the world. The animals are exhibited in designated areas that create an immersive viewing experience.

Two popular exhibits are the Lied Jungle, the largest indoor rainforest in the US, and the Desert Dome, the largest indoor desert in the world. A few species found in the zoo and aquarium are lions, gorillas, elephants, giraffes, stingrays, and jellyfish.
