Omaha Zoo
The Henry Doorly Zoo of In Omaha has got to be one of the most extravagant zoo’s I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. This isn’t your normal zoo that holds a few exotic animals but has even been voted to be the number 1 zoo in America. They didn’t get there just by having great animals but they give those animals a place where they can thrive, not just live. The Henry Doorley Zoo creates places that are as close to the animals native habitat that they can get. Take the desert for example. Most Zoo’s would just add sand and a few rocks. At the Doorly Zoo that isn’t enough because the atmosphere isn’t right, to fix this the zoo created the worlds largest indoor desert. The Desert Dome by name is exactly that a done full of desert at 13 stores high and 230 feet in diameter it keeps the heat in just like the desert asked for. The zoo didn’t stop with the dome the other habits are just as remarkable there is a cave that has time reversed so that nocturnal animals think that daytime is really night, making them active for the gets. My favorite part of the zoo is Scott’s Aquarium. This massive section of the Zoo is dedicated to teaching guest about the wonder of the ocean. Find tanks filled with jelly fish, sharks, tropical beauties, and live corals. The magic doesn’t stop there, the Henry Doorley Zoo has much to offer and it is a place you just have to visit for yourself.
