We left this morning at 7:30 am to visit the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. It has been 12 years since our last visit, and it was the zoo that Laura has been wanting to revisit for years. I purchased two-day tickets this time around because the zoo is very large!
We arrived a little after noon and began in the Desert Dome.
It was so fun wandering around and observing all the different animals and reptiles. Of course, John had to point out every snake he saw to me…
After the Desert Dome, we ate a quick lunch and then went through the Lied Jungle. We ended our zoo day at the Butterfly House. To give you an idea of how large the zoo is, the three buildings that we wandered through today totaled nearly five miles of walking for me.
After checking into our hotel, we ate dinner at Upstream Brewing Company and finished the night in the hotel pool.
We are all looking forward to tomorrow!
