    We have lived in Omaha for 15 years, this is our home, we raised our kids here. So glad you stopped and experienced our great city. Our zoo is one of the top in the US. Come back to visit. Covid has made it difficult, I’m sure you know. It did snow! Then we went on to have more amazing weather. Come back during the College World Series, it’s a blast! Safe travels.

    Henry Doorly Zoo is currently the nation's best zoo. I hope you didn't miss the night time part of the desert dome.. its awesome. If you see and take time at that zoo it takes 1.5-2 days and they are constantly building on. They also have a drive thru zoo around Ashland Nebraska between Omaha and Lincoln.

    I've been to the Archway there on I-80. It is a fascinating look at the westward movement as our country expanded west, but also about "how" we traveled/travel, and the changes over time in doing so. I hope to visit it again and take it all in once again!

    Thanks for the look at Omaha. I was born in Nebraska, Grand Island, and we lived, for the most part, in NW Missouri very close to the Nebraska state line. We would cross the Missouri River at Rulo Nebraska to visit family in NE Kansas. They charged a toll of 15 cents to cross the bridge if I remember correctly in the early 60’s then raised it to 25 cents. I can’t say I have never been to Omaha but I think it will be on my list for this spring or early summer. Thanks for letting people know it’s more than just one big corn field!

    If you have kids and come to our Omaha zoo in the summer, bring swimsuits and play in the Alaskan Adventure splashgrounds. Kids also love the Adventure Trails interactive play area, www.omahazoo.com/childrens-adventure-trails, open in the summer. You could easily devote three whole days to our zoo when all the exhibits and attractions are open. I want to also put in a good word for the Kearney Arch. You will be tempted to zip right past it and continue flying down I-80, but it is a great stop!

      I went and read Nellie's story and it was both sad and inspiring. I have said it before and still believe it: If the people from that era came to the present-day they would kick our ass because we have gotten soft both physically and mentally. Go check out the history of Ellen Pucell Unthank when you think you are having a bad day.
