The wait is finally over! The world renowned Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo is now the 30th feature on Zoo Tours. We're wasting no time by kicking off with one of its trademarks attractions that made this place one of the best zoos in the world: the Desert Dome. Big, beautiful, record breaking, and certainly jaw dropping. The largest of its kind in the hemisphere, under the world's largest glazed geodesic dome - which immediately became a landmark to the city. The Dome features plant and animal life from three deserts of southern Africa, Australia, and the United States. Foxes, mongooses, wild cats, and dozens more inhabit the cliffs and canyon crevices - and at many times are well above your eye line. So it's not just the sheer size of the building that draws you in, but the attention to detail from the convincing rockwork, aboriginal artwork, and arid environment that creates a real life desert expedition. Enjoy what is known as one of the most monumental exhibits in the world.

Will you be making another video of Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo but of the African savannah section?
I remember seeing this zoo on an old Animal Planet series back when it was pretty newly built. Always wanted to visit, though I don't think I'll ever get the chance. Thanks for the virtual visit!
This exhibit has always seemed really cool to me and I am happy I can finally watch an amazing tour of the place!
I wish indoor deserts were more common because they look amazing! I'm happy to have another amazing indoor desert in my country, in Burgers Zoo. I think it might even rival this one in area size (excluding KotN), although the exterior of the building doesn't look as impressive as this huge dome.
Can't wait to see more of Omaha on the channel, great work!
@@hailgiratinathetruegod7564 I haven't seen the desert dome in person, but from what I saw in the video, the environments look amazing in the dome, especially like when walking between cliffs. Burger's also looks great in this aspect, plus I agree that Burger's Desert has better exhibits. It's way cooler seeing the Bighorns climbing on their rock in this open dessert, looking at rattlesnakes and seeing the Paccaris walking around in the background and seeing the vultures above you on the rocks. So yeah, I think I do also prefer Burger's.
I miss this exhibit
It was the first exhibit I visited last spring break just before the pandemic
You did an amazing job with showcase this attraction. My family and I love visiting this zoo through the seasons and I’m excited your doing one favorite exhibits next! Hope you get to see the kingdom of the nights next time!
I flew to Nebraska from Akron last year just go to the zoo and can honestly say kingdoms of the night was my favorite exhibit out of any zoo and so unfortunate that it's closed as some one who has flown all over the country to go to zoos kingdom of the night is my favorite exhibit!!
KINGDOM OF THE NIGHT IS ALSO MY FAVORITE TOO
What an amazing zoo, cant wait to visit soon!
100% looking forward to Kingdoms of the Night
Desert Dome and Lied Jungle are the bests I’ve never been to but at least heard of
I love this zoo. Nebraska is awesome.
YES!
Without a doubt one of my favorite exhibits
Going there on Wednesday. Very excited
I’ve been to this zoo hundreds of times. And I’m planning on going to this zoo again this June. Even though I’ve been here plenty of times I’m still excited to come back here
This looks Awesome!
Best video I've seen from your channel. :D!
Finally MY ZOO!
Luckily I live in Nebraska so I have gone to the Henry Doorly Zoo many times. It always gets better every time that I go. I always go in the summer, so it is really hot outside. Luckily they have misting stations every so often to cool you off. I am biased, but I believe it is the best zoo in America. Everybody should go at least once in their life.
Great Job in capturing this habitat!
Thank you! Can't wait to include your words on the Review
This is great.
Can you do the Kingdoms of the Night later on? I love it.
Fun fact: The random fish tank used to house a scorpion and a tarantula, but they changed it after they died, probably because they were hardly ever visible.
Great vis
I live only a hour away go all time I am a proud member love the place
Surprised they don't have ring-tailed cats or cacomistles in this exhibit. That would be great to see. Definitely now on my list of must see zoos when I eventually do a North American zoo trip
I've liked the desert dome I've been to that zoo 3 times man I miss that zoo especially the elephants
I live in Nebraska and I’ve gone there a lot and I’m learning more about it
I'm going to the Henry Doorly Zoo tomorrow :) I lived in Lincoln so I've been there but uts my Fiances first time :)
OMG I Want to go to Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo Now 😁😁😁
Are you form planet zoo
Finally
We need to get your subs up
I really want to go to Omaha. It’s amazing, and it’s on the second place for a zoo I want to visit. First is San Diego.
@@TheRandomZooVisitor so your one of the people who hate on the Odyssey?
@@TheRandomZooVisitor nahh they dont have komodo dragon, green anaconda and harpy eagle, so my bet still goes go San Diego Zoo,
I understand the price of these deserts, but more zoo should make them. In one of your previous vids you showed us the the roo valley. I really think a small desert dome or maybe a bigger one would cost the same and it would draw much more guests and have more animals. Like if you agree
I agree but then there might be too many of them like kangaroo walkabouts
I completely agree with you on that because I mean like it would be awesome for guests to see animals of the Sahara desert the gobi and the thar and the Mohave because out in the thar desert lives asiatic wildcat and up in the gobi live gerbils and Bactrian camels and in the Mojave live the desert tortoises and desert bighorn sheep and carnivores like the swift fox and scavengers like California condor and in the gobi the main carnivore is snow leopard and they live there because the gobi desert is cold and scavengers like the Himalayan griffin vultures live but in the thar desert live Indian gazelle and Indian wild ass which is a wild donkey and carnivores like the white footed fox and scavengers like the lagger falcon while the Sahara has carnivores like the fennec fox pale fox and ruppells fox herbivores like dama gazelle rhim gazelle addax dorcas gazelle and hyrax and bigger carnivores like the Northwest and northeast African cheetah and the African wild dog small herbivores like Jerboa and scavengers like spotted hyena
@@chasemurraychristopherdola7108 well that is so many animals but I guess I agree
@@noahbutas0321 not necessarily it is not every zoo that is doing a multi billion dollar expansion. Besides they have a lot of animal they can display. Or they can do like a artic dome or a savannah dome. Those are rlly cool ideas
@@TheMrFunny11 I completely agree with you on that but i think it would be awesome if there was a deciduous or a coniferous forest dome but If I were to build something like that the main areas would be the sikhote alin forests of Russia where Siberian tiger and amur leopards roam the coniferous forests of Scotland where the highly endangered Scottish wildcat lurks and the taiga of North America where the wood bison lived and the primeval forest of Europe where the only living relative of the American bison the European bison aka Wisent 🦬 lives along with the wild boar 🐗 , the moose or as it’s called in Europe the elk
My favourite zoo I've ever been is Zoo Planckendael in Belgium but my favourite zoo in the UK is Hamerton Zoo, Hamerton has so many different and rare animals from Australian and other regions including the only UK's Common Wombats, Dingoes, Possums, Bettong, Tiger Quoll, Syrian Brown Bear, Fat Sand Rats and more, with Echinda and Ringtails planning to go on display next year, mammals I want to see at Hamerton include Tree Kangaroos and Tasmanian Devils as they would be a great addition to the zoo and I would love to see Tasmanisn Devils so close to home
I really want to go there but the best I have is the Mitchell Milwaukee dome :(
5:06 is it just me, or do zoo-goers that travel to see a certain zoo always have more luck than people who go regularly? In probably over 100 visits, I’ve seen the ocelot like 5 times lol
You should look at the new sea lion exhibit
Zoo tours can you do the Congo forest from the Columbus Zoo and aquariums
3:35 the same bird from Lincoln park zoo. And Zazu is a red bill horn bill.
Your right it’s a zazu
OOH OOH OOH OOH! I KNOW the indianapolis zoo:)
Get job with this habitat will definitely want to visit this myself! Would you ever consider doing wonders of wildlife in Springfield missouri
Did you see that Branson is opened a big Aquarium. I've been to WOW a few times doing videos for my channel. That is a nice aquarium and the staff the assisted were great.
Yes, yes! That's what I'm talking about! Yet, I've been there 2 times when I was in Omaha! However, they should've included binturongs & Komodo Dragons (although they no longer breed those dragons due to a recent news that a zookeeper got bitten by one). As a matter of fact, you should try visiting the Asian Highlands & the Kingdoms Of The Night soon! Sizzling Saltasaurus!👍🐆
Colchester have bred them but they have an amazing purpose built complex
Will you ever review UK zoos?
If yes, here are some i've been to i'd recommend:
Chester Zoo
Twycross Zoo
Bristol Zoo
Peak Wildlife Park
West Midland Safari Park (in america safari parks are called drive thru safaris)
Knowsley Safari Park
Woburn Safari Park
+Yorkshire Wildlife Park, 2nd best IMO after Chester.
Hi sir could you please come to india and review zoos in india, since you have been to many gold standard zoos , I wish to know how zoos in india compare to them
Isn't Burgers Desert bigger. It focusses solely on the Sonora
Yes it is
@@ZooTours That is my home zoo. In setup very simular to Henry Doorly Zoo. It's Desert/Bush/Ocean complex was groundbreaking. Also thet were the first to keep a freeroaming troop of chimps with multiple males. Love your videos. Hoping to come to the US next year for a westcoast trip with a stop in Atlanta to see Georgia Aquarium
Do you play planet zoo?
Its Zazu!! The redbillled hornbill that js
Update Henry Doorly zoo in spring'23: ua-cam.com/video/VJbaWzkvztU/v-deo.html
No arthropods?
I'm sorry, but I tried to look for the world's true largest indoor desert exhibit, but all I find is the same desert enclosure as the one in this video, further proving that this IS the largest indoor desert exhibit.
The indoor desert the trivia is referring to is 20,000 square feet larger than Omaha's
@@ZooTours I tried searching with that too, but I still got the same results. :(
I found one source with the answer. I assume in Omaha's case, this is a marketing thing. Cincinnati falsely claims to be the country's second zoo, Houston thinks they have the biggest gorilla complex, and though it's not their fault, people still think Georgia has the largest aquarium. Hint: this indoor Desert is on the other side of the world.
What happened to your voice
Adolescence
“ Cunningham Skink”
Burgers zoo?
Yes it is
Just saying but the turtles were actually desert tortoises not box turtles
www.zoochat.com/community/media/desert-box-turtle-at-omaha-zoo-desert-dome.485728/
@@ZooTours okay because on the list of animals it said tortoise so I got confused
🤦♂️Thank you for the heads up, working on this episode has fried my brain worse than ever, wouldn't be surprised if there were many more mistakes.
And from what I've heard, the Wild cat exhibit first held a leopard.
@@ZooTours your very welcome
Too bad that the Omaha Zoo gave away their honey badgers. Give me back my crackhead bush weasel!
