Love this place, it was so cool seeing the animals! It literally feels like an actual desert with real and exotic plants and animals. This is by far the best zoo I’ve ever been to. It is so massive and has SO many animals, I love it! Reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, everything!!!! Awesome! Klipspringers are very cool when they jump. Meerkats are cute, snakes are awesome, and the rattlesnake was so cool! It was so good I can’t even describe it!!

This was an incredible experience. We undermined its capacity by looking at what’s on the surface. At the end of the tour, you have the option to descend below into the caves they built under the dome to explore varies nocturnal creatures and eco systems. This was definitely a must see place if you’re into wild life/ zoology.

Interesting set-up. Not really sure if having a huge mountain take up the center of the dome is really a good idea; the space could have been better used by including more species or give more space to the animals already present. The creatures of the night exhibit is also great, plenty of nocturnal animals. The albino gator was amazing.

What a great place to visit. Animals. Seemed happy and ther was a lot to see. The dark cave and basement swamp exhibit were really cool.

This attraction is awesome. The Kingdoms of the Night is probably my favorite area in the zoo. It is below the Desert Dome and it is very dark. There is an area in the caves that there are open pools of water. There is glass below the surface but it is a drop off. Walking the swamp reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. You enter the swamp through a small cabin. Photography is very difficult but the detail is amazing.

This is a crazy and amazing exhibit of Deserts around the world. It felt so real. The animals were so close it was amazing. Definitely check out the basement Night Eyes exhibit as well! Tons of Nocturnal creatures! It was one of the highlights of my trip with the kids.

Awesome experience. A must see.

Kingdom of the night is the best

You can be so close to the animals. Beautiful. The animals are used to humans.

Amazing zoo with so many species and great interior design that helps to get emerged

Went to the desert dome in the afternoon instead of the morning like we normally do. Yes it was more packed but it was also a lot more pleasant temperature wise it was definitely a lot cooler in the afternoon inside than it is in the morning when they first open.

Enjoyed the dome except for the crowd. There was a spot underneath, in the darkness, where someone in our party almost walked into a water hole while exploring the cave area.

One of the biggest domes of it's kind in the world! Tons of great exhibits including the swamp in the basement. And the bats.

The desert dome is truly a wonder. Travel some of the great deserts all in one place. Great fun for the family.

Incredibly beautiful wildlife immersion type experience. Its felt like a quick walk through a desert biome with plenty of animals to see. Obviously, guests should stay on the walking paths but be sure to take a good look at the plants and faux rock formations! Architectural and natural beauty combined.

Always one of the most popular buildings with my kids. Good mix of animals you might encounter in your state (turtles, frogs, and beavers) with some that most people might not (alligators and caymans). The desert dome can be pretty hot in the Summer but "it's a dry heat". ;o)

I visited this exhibit with family and they left fairly quickly because of the smell, although I didn't mind it so much. One might expect the desert dome to be very hot, but it was very mild. There were diverse species and not all hidden away as they have been before.

A really cool place to visit and see lots of animals and nature. I can see why this is voted one of the best zoos and aquariums. This is such a lovely place to visit! They have so many animals and so many different exhibits. All of which looked clean and all of the animals looked healthy.

Maybe my personal favorite of all the exhibits/areas of the zoo. The nocturnal basement area is fascinating!

This is a must see at the Zoo! And don't forget the kingdom of the night in the basement! One of our favorite exhibits and a great option in the cold months to warm up between visiting the outdoor sights.

One of my favorite parts of the zoo. Peaceful walk upstairs, then downstairs to spend time with the beautiful nocturnal flying fruit and insect nommers. I love bats, and the zoos wonderful care and appreciation for them makes me joyful. The flying foxes are the best!

Remember the year this opened. There was a cougar shot by the police near downtown. It was taken to the dome when it recovered and put on display. They had some bobcats and hummingbirds too. They said you could see it from space and not sure that's true. Always been my fav attraction.

The Kingdoms of the night is an awesome exhibit. If you go during the Halloween Spooktactular events then they have the lights on. They are simulating day time for the nocturnal animals.

A classic Henry Doorly experience, always a great jaunt through desert biomes.

I went for a Zoo trip on a Tuesday, so there wasn't much of a crowd, had a pretty great time looking at all the exhibits I may have missed from previous trips.

they feed the bats at 4 pm, the temp really drops, be careful not to move too much as the bats will try to avoid you and end up crashing into you.

This is a really really late response. But I loved my trip there as a kid and I loved how you could walk through different animal Biomes. All the animals to me where wonders, so I would say that anyone would love this place.

Get a zoo pass with someone in your family with same last name 60dollars apiece you can enjoy the zoo all year around great for your family. And or friends get out to the zoo today

This was probably the coolest part of the entire zoo. We were running short on time and had to leave without seeing everything. Make this the first thing you see when you get there.

fun look into another world.

Going to sound harsh, and I don't take joy writing, but I'd say this exhibit is just ok. I'd definitely encourage doing the Kingdom of Night one below.

Amazing experience. Lots of information about deserts and ton of animals on display. Very cool place!

Very neat exhibit. It is huge. We spent over an hour in there.

Great place for whole family fun

Awesome nocturnal and desert exhibits with so many exotic animals from around the world!

The zoo is awesome. My grandchildren love this exhibit, but for me this exhibit is still in my top ten, but like number 9 or 10. Still in the winter time this is a nice place go thaw out.

There is an overwhelming smell of bat guano upon entering. Some habitats seem too small for the animals housed in them.

Very cool. It is not just a desert experience. Below creatures of the night are displayed. Fun time. Give it a go if you are from out of town.

Very unique and fascinating place! A must do if you're in the Omaha area.

What we have a zoo! Wow nextdoor is that rosenblatt place. In my opinion it's the best in the world, just my opinion. Been to San Diego ok great also, but Omaha zoo is my favorite place. Get a membership even if you can't goo every week.

Loved the zoo. Takes a long time to see all the animals tho. Overall, i would come back

Very cool. It is not just a desert experience. Below creatures of the night are displayed. Fun time. Give it a go if you are from out of town.

You can see this dome before you see the rest of the zoo. It took so long for them to put this together originally. Imported sand from 3 major deserts. Birds get to fly around and nest openly in this dome. Try to spot a hummingbird! The nocturnal exhibit is also incredible. Take a few minutes to let your eyes adjust to the dark.

Cool place

Loved it!

Great way to both see and feel the environment and natural habitat for these animals.

Great exhibit.

This is one of my favorite stops in the zoo.

One of our favorite places at the zoo to visit!

you truly feel like in the dessert!

Amazing. The diversity of animals, anf the maintenance and care taking of the animals is impeccable!

This is one of our favorite attractions at this zoo!

The Dark one under is scary...

OTHER. WORDLY. I've been to some awesome zoos. But nothing compares to stepping into a LITERAL DESERT BIODOME WITH JAVALENAS AND ROAD RUNNERS running amok. I feel like a crazy person describing the experience here because of how sci fi futuristic this place is for creating the controlled climate environment.

Great place to take the family

Very interesting and must watch place. Kingdom of Nights was specially very good.

Love it
