As a lifelong Omaha and I appreciate you sharing one of our most wonderful attractions with the world. Thank you for highlighting our wonderful zoo and all it has to offer!
You fit an amazing amount into 19 minutes. I live 3 blocks from the zoo entrance and walk in it at least five days a week. The two main buildings you missed in your video were the Madagascar building with its several species of beautiful lemurs, and the fossa (looks like a cross between a cat and a dog) outdoors by it. (Madagascar is in a culdesac between Gorilla Valley and the aviary and is easy to miss.) You also missed the indoor jungle building, to the right of the main entrance, with its pygmy hippos, many species of monkeys, tapirs, macaws and other tropical birds, etc. And you somehow missed the two baby African elephants who were born in January. But you got most of the other highlights. The design of many of the exhibits is quite impressive -- I particularly like the Asian highlands, where it almost seems as if you really are on a mountainside in the Himalayas. I am very lucky to live close enough to Henry Doorly Zoo to visit almost every day, and it certainly should be the #1 attraction for most people visiting Omaha.
As someone born and raised a local, I'm glad you had a great time at our zoo. I feel old as I say this, but I remember when the desert dome was being made. When they had the structure all set up, they let the public in to see what exhibits they had. And in the entry, they had a model of what it was going to be like, it was awesome. I remeber in the nocturnal exhibit area, my brother and I had an unfortunate encounter with this old lady. We had costumes on, because it was halloween. I wanted to scare my brother, who used the elevator to go down. I tried to hide in a near pitch black shadow using my black cape to cover me. I jumped out at them, only scaring this lady who came down with the rest of my group. Then in the swamp area, my brother saw someone and tapped their shoulder to scare them, thinking it was me. Guess who it was, THE SAME LADY I SCARED! Also, little upsidedown jelly, what are ya doing? I've never seen them float like that, what are ya doin dude?
I was there in ‘75 when the tiger escaped it’s enclosure. Literally at the enclosure and saw the whole thing. My brother and I were lucky we were standing at the opposite end of the pit. That tiger mauled a young girl from Bellevue.
As a local person that has lived in omaha my whole life the zoo is always changing and the main priority’s are the animals and make sure that they are happy!💜
Yes that too but I think Offuit has one of the best Airshows in the country too. When it was happening, I showed up like clockwork just for low pass flybys.
I'm also a local and that zoo is a brutal one day trip you definitely need a couple days to enjoy all of it without getting too sore. It's like all Hills LOL. Also you're giving me a new appreciation for it because it's been awhile since I went with all the new exhibits all updated and once this heat dies down I'm so excited to get back
I've loved going to the Henry Doorly my whole life. Used to work on staff when I was younger. It makes me sad how many people don't know how beautiful the zoo is, so I really hope this video spreads and intrigues animal lovers to come see the best zoo around!
Yeah, the gorillas make it on the news quite a bit. Namely for that one time a few years ago when one of them divebombed a window and cracked the glass. I actually helped build that swing you saw it playing on. It was for one of my friend’s eagle projects a few months ago. Scouts also gave me a really cool opportunity for an “overnight experience” where they gave us a sleeping bag and let us sleep anywhere in the aquarium. Falling asleep in the shark tunnel was honestly magical.
Love your video. This zoo is credited, they have to comply with a high standard to keep their credibility. The animals are their top priority at these places have to keep them happy and healthy and it shows. The exhibits are well designed and the cost to put in every little detail can top over 10 thousand dollars. I know a zoo owner, and it takes a ton of dedication to be a zoo keeper, zoo vet and lot's of knowledge to do what they do. Thank you for sharing.
The omaha zoo is the only one I been too so when I found out it's the world's best I was kinda surprised I've also heard the San Diego one is the best tho which one would u consider better?
Yes so very close. The only unfortunate thing is that children love tapping on the glass. The glass has several panes so its very safe. However the bigger males get upset and can break one of the panes in frustration. That's the only thing I wish was that children wouldn't do that.
My family always keeps a pass to this zoo its truly a great place to have around! Especially when you homeschool like me! They are constantly expanding and making things better for the animals!
One of my favorite places, I have had a membership for 20+ years and we got quite a bit. It’s easy to run in and see a few attractions then head home or go to the IMAX. Thank you for doing a video on it.
I've spent more time at this zoo than I have anywhere else outside of home. I know several of the zookeepers and have sold coral to some of the top people in the aquarium that now proudly sit in displays. The absolute BEST zoo out there
It really is. I've been to the San Diego Zoo, Bronx Zoo, Philadelphia Zoo, Fort Worth Zoo, all zoo's that are highly regarded. Doorly is the best of all those.
Omaha Represent! But in all honesty it's cool to see a video like this. I know they try very hard to make it the best zoo in the world. And in my totally unbiased opinion, it is.
my dad and brother work in construction and are always working on the new exhibits for the zoo they always show me pictures of all the new stuff they are adding I'm proud of their hard work paying off 😄
@@cdpgeorge Trust when you say that. I delivered steel to Henry Doorly in the dead of winter and if anyone knows the surrounding area, the hills are slippery and deadly. WHen I delivered steel there I had to go to the back of the zoo, not through the front gates. Talk about clutching my pearls with a white knuckled grip.
I hope you had a chance to visit the Lied Jungle while you were in the zoo.....as far as I know the worlds largest indoor rainforest. It's amazing in there and has alot of free roaming animals about. Spider monkeys, macaws, bats, miscellaneous birds which I can't quite recall names of, i believe cappuchin monkeys as well. Also, numerous exhibit animals such as pygmy tapirs, otters, massive fish, crocodilians, and the list goes on and on.
What it do, what it do Spoda, we went to the Zoo!! Saw Mr. Bullfrog hanging ten on the glass window, Magilla Gorilla asleep with his butt in the air, a Slothy Bear, both Vamp and Egyptian bats upside down as usual, stingrays, jellyfish, a seahorse, a snapping turtle, a couple of baby gators and much more while sipping a nice glass of wine 🍷 from the comfort of my sofa. Thank you for this trip because for as nice as our zoo is, it’s blazing hot and humid here in Houston and there’s no way in Hades I’m leaving the sofa and AC to go to our Zoo and get slow roasted. Your visit did it for me and once again many thanks to you and your lovely wife for yet another adventure. Peace and Love. ✌️ ❤
I also have to say... To really appreciate the WHOLE zoo, you might want to consider touring it over a few days. You don't realize it while walking but it is huge and has gotten much bigger since I was a child, so if you want to really enjoy all the attractions, especially the larger ones like the savannah area, the big cat area, the indoor jungle and the desert, it's hard to do it all in one day (especially in oppressive Omaha summers). Please do come back; I'm sure it'll be even better. Maybe they will rebuild the polar bear exhibit!
Just so you know, our experience with the zoo was fantastic. The best zoo I’ve ever been to. And I’ve been to the zoos in San Diego, Fort Worth, Bronx and Philadelphia. All of them considered world class. Omaha’s Zoo easily ranks with them. 😀
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's unfortunate how much it flies under the radar, but I always encourage family and friends to stop by when they are visiting. It's truly a wonderful place to be
It has been several years sense I have been there. Until my wife came down with health issues we were there every year with kids or grandkids. I knew they were doing a lot of work residing the displays. From the changes I have seen in your video I think I will try to get there this year. There is a drive through zoo about 20 miles west that Ithink it is still open. Also worth the drive.
It's a great adventure and fun for the kids 😀decent price for all we spent around 200.00 usd 4 2 adults 3 kids. T shirts and toys and food 😋everyone had fun
It definitely is one of the top zoo's. The constant construction has really put a damper on things. The swamp is really awesome. One really cool zoo is the Como Zoo in Minnesota. It's not very big but well done with awesome exhibits. The St Louis Zoo also is pretty awesome. San Diego Zoo was beautiful but wasn't near as cool as Omaha.
A native here, when the kingdom of the nights first opened the floating walkways moved when you walked on them. That didn't last long, I'm sure it terrified a whole lot of people. I personally thought it was great!
👋 I'm an artist, omaha native, and I worked to carve the "rocks" and paint the murals in the desert dome and kingdom of the night exhibits. The handprints in the murals...mine! 😊 ~ Tiffany ps. bring skittles for the gorillas 😅
you went the opposite direction we normally do. we normally go to the right first get the jungle, aquarium, African grasslands, Asian high lands, Madagascar, cut through gorilla valley take the elevator up then do the desert dome. less walking up hills that way. sometimes on another trip we walk to the north end do the zoo go to the big play area head down th the Alaskan bay ride the carosal, do the splash pad area, do a round trip on the train hit up the sea lions and cut through grollia valley to take the elevator up. the nort area of the zoo is more for kids so I see why it wasn't included in this video but the Alaskan bay area is themed beautifully.
I grew up in Omaha and I love this zoo. By the way what you called a bush baby is 100% not a bush baby from what I can tell it is an African Springhare. There might have been a bush baby in the exhibit and you just didn't see it, because there are sometimes multiple animals in one exhibit. So you have to make sure that you're looking at the right one when you say, this is a "animal name here". Anyways...My favorite part of the zoo is the bayou and me kingdom of the nights exhibit as well as the jungle which is by far the best part of the entire zoo just because of how immersive it is The Kingdom of the nights bayou is pretty great too I would say it's one of the more immersive ones there too I don't think there is a zoo that's as immersive as Omaha's Henry doorly zoo
I must insist that you visit the sandhills. Which is the greatest intact prairie on earth. Beautiful land. Beautiful skies. Beautiful people. Valentine is a good hub.
Best zoo I have ever gone too, over 300 times, and been to many in the US. 60 bucks you paid, that's a single ticket at the San Diego zoo at this point.
That's why they named the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium Number 1, followed by the San Diego Zoo as Number 2, & the San Diego Zoo Safari Park as Number 3! Heaving Oviraptor!🐵🐯🐺🐻🐨🐼🐗🦓🐆🐂🐃🦌🦏🦍🐪🐫🐧🐟🦇🦔🦅🐊🐍🐢🦎🐜🦗🦂🕷️🐙🦑🦀🐡🐠🦈🦃
@Jayne F Like I said, I film what I find interesting, and I love zoos. I did a video on the San Diego Zoo as well. That said, zoo videos normally don’t perform well, so that’s why I have only done the two.
The "pig" is a javelina or collared peccary native to the southwest US. What you called a "bush baby" is a springhare, a rabbit-like African rodent. The bush baby is a small, nocturnal arboreal primate. You must have missed it.
As a mail carrier in Omaha with a walking route, thank you for repeatedly pointing out that Omaha is NOT FLAT.
im from New Orleans and when I moved there I was like what the hell wrong with the streets😭
And I also thank you for a repeatedly saying Omaha's not flat
You funny 😂
South Omaha and Bellevue is the worst. Council Bluffs is horrid on the outskirts.
As a lifelong Omaha and I appreciate you sharing one of our most wonderful attractions with the world. Thank you for highlighting our wonderful zoo and all it has to offer!

I didn't want to show TOO much. :)
The jungle is under heavy maintenance so it's somewhat of a loss right now. However, within the next few years the Zoo will be even better!
I am an omaha native and concur.
The indoor jungle is the largest one in America sad you missed it😔
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip the jungle is like the coolest part too, very big

You need to check out the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum in Ashland, Ne!
I will. That sounds really interesting!
Yes! And visit the Wildlife Safari Park right down the street from the Aerospace museum
U should go to the Durham museum in Omaha Ne.
Safari is soo fun. Love the trails
Yes that too but I think Offuit has one of the best Airshows in the country too. When it was happening, I showed up like clockwork just for low pass flybys.
My wife and I have also been to many zoos across the country and this is far and away the best, and they improve it every year. Great tour.
For real? Are zoos in other places really that bad?
@@NonStopKnocksyour just used to this zoo, probably grew up in Omaha no?

Between Omaha and San Diego zoo they are by far the 2 world's best zoos. 👌 definitely a must see for everyone if they live in the u.s
I've been to both. They are great.
The omaha zoo is the only one I been too so when I found out it's the world's best I was kinda surprised I've also heard the San Diego one is the best tho which one would u consider better?
I completely disagree the Bronx Zoo is by far the greatest Zoo in the US!
i live in omaha ive gone to the zoo so much but i still watched the whole video like ive never gone
Cool! :)
Wow now that’s one heck of a zoo. The Gorillas were so impressive, being that close must have been something. This is a zoo worth visiting.
It's a great zoo, Key!
Yes so very close. The only unfortunate thing is that children love tapping on the glass. The glass has several panes so its very safe. However the bigger males get upset and can break one of the panes in frustration. That's the only thing I wish was that children wouldn't do that.
Thank you all for visiting our fair to Little City, I love our Zoo.
@13:30 That's nice that the elephants have a SAND floor on their indoor enclosure. So much better than concrete on their feet.🐘
Im so glad you looked at this! Im a resident of omaha. The zoo really is an amazing zoo, i have never been dissapointed by it!
same!!
My family always keeps a pass to this zoo its truly a great place to have around! Especially when you homeschool like me! They are constantly expanding and making things better for the animals!
Thanks for this! You two are on the most awesome adventure!
This is my favorite zoo I have visited, even better than St. Louis and San Diego. One of my favorite things was the giant octopus.
One of my favorite places, I have had a membership for 20+ years and we got quite a bit. It’s easy to run in and see a few attractions then head home or go to the IMAX. Thank you for doing a video on it.
I am so happy that you enjoyed the zoo! I am proud of what this zoo has done and continues to do!
i haven't been to this zoo in 15 years it has definitely upgraded since then
Holy crap, I haven't seen this stuff. And I live here. And I have to go service their equipment from time to time!
I haven't been to Henry Doorly Zoo in Yrs ... They've done a nice job! Thanks for the tour 😊
I've spent more time at this zoo than I have anywhere else outside of home. I know several of the zookeepers and have sold coral to some of the top people in the aquarium that now proudly sit in displays.

It is widely regarded as the best. I believe it! :)
i went to school here ! here is such a pleasure to see how our zoo has developed and grown over the years :)
Great video man. Omaha and it’s Zoo are equally awesome. Don’t forget to come back someday for a return visit!
Thank you, tromo. Will definitely be doing that!
my dad and brother work in construction and are always working on the new exhibits for the zoo they always show me pictures of all the new stuff they are adding I'm proud of their hard work paying off 😄
I like the rainforest better, and the aquarium. I miss going into the mutual of omaha pavilion👍😎
As a former Omaha resident, this place is amazing. I've been there dozens of times when passes were more affordable.
Wow! Looks like lots of cool new things since I’ve been there last. I guess I have to make it down there sometime. Great vid.
Thanks Jeoy. .. Another great tour
Thank for the kind words, Chris. :)
I live in the Omaha area and we are justly proud of our Zoo. Best in the world? Opinions actually vary, but certainly in the top 5.
Feels good to know our zoo is still #1. I thought I had heard a long time ago that Atlanta topped us with their new zoo.
It was to my understanding we dropped off due to all the projects and construction going on.

I'm glad I can do that, Ted! Thank you for watching. :)

It's a wonderful zoo. I did a video on it as well. When I was a child it was so so different.
I haven't gone recently, but I used to go a ton. I have never seen it this busy, or maybe I just didn't go during normal zoo time, not sure! Haha.
lovely
I must insist that you visit the sandhills. Which is the greatest intact prairie on earth. Beautiful land. Beautiful skies. Beautiful people. Valentine is a good hub.
I remember when there were 20ft tall cactus in there. I'm there about 15-20 times a year.... GBR!
The sea lion exhibit is a new one that just opened up in the last yearish have not been there yet
Wow🤩
It was much wow, Tasos! 😀😀
I live pretty close to the zoo and we had a membership but it's cool
This must have been during the college World Series. It looked really busy.
Wow! Who knew - Go Omaha
I literally live right next to the zoo!
Thanks for visiting our zoo! 🥰
One of the best places in Omaha
I live in Omaha! The Nocturnal Exhibit under the Desert Dome is my favorite exhibit at the zoo. Where are you from?
Frisco, Texas. :)
Best zoo I have ever gone too, over 300 times, and been to many in the US. 60 bucks you paid, that's a single ticket at the San Diego zoo at this point.
You're right. If I remember correctly, we paid about $160 (for the both of us) to get in the San Diego Zoo.
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip oh wow that about how much I pay for a yearly family membership at the Omaha zoo.
As a resident of Omaha, the zoo, Warren Buffett, and the College World Series are our claims to fame in that order.

The world's best Zoo and number one free attraction in the country is the St.Louis Zoo.
You missed a few attractions, but thanks for sharing.
I didn’t want to show everything. People who go still gotta have a few surprises.
they do an adult night with drinks as well ❤
i only been at the omaha zoo once
I went before on a field trip
i live here brooo
I'm actually surprised you filmed this since you like to visit the seedier side of cities.
I like to visit the interesting side of cities. There are plenty of ‘travel brochure’ type videos on UA-cam already.
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip There are lots of videos of this world class zoo ... that's why I was surprised.
@Jayne F Like I said, I film what I find interesting, and I love zoos. I did a video on the San Diego Zoo as well. That said, zoo videos normally don’t perform well, so that’s why I have only done the two.
did you go to the lied jungle?
We didn't, but will be in the future.

FYI, not a bush baby but a spring hare.
