Born: July 4, 2004 Henry Doorly Zoo
Growing up in the Omaha area, one of my absolute favorite activities was visiting the Henry Doorly Zoo. Brian teases me because I'm always telling him it's the #2 zoo in the nation (only to San Diego because they have the Pandas and koalas) but it really is an amazing zoo! In the last 10 years, they have added a 2 story rainforest, Aquarium (the penquins are my favorite!) IMAX theater, Desert dome, Kingdom of the Night and just this past spring they completed Hubard Gorilla Valley. If you have extra time while in Omaha, I recommend visiting the zoo!
