One of the best zoos that I have visited. Great exhibits and environments and they continue to add on and upgrade. The large layout and grounds make the experience not seem crowded. Make sure to do the sky ride and go to all levels of the dome and rainforest.

This is, without a doubt, one of the nicest zoos I have ever been in. It is clean. Most of the animals live in natural exhibits. The restaurants, although busy at peak times, have good food at reasonable prices. Feeding the stingrays was one of coolest experiences that my family has had together. 100% recommend!!

Absolutely the greatest Zoo in America!! We spent 5 1/2 hours and didn't get half way through. The animals are obviously well cared for, the grounds are meticulously take care of. Beautiful exhibits!!

I've been to a lot of zoos, and this one is the best!

When my kids was small, we went once a week for few hours. My suggestion (if possible) avoid weekend or May (full of school trips) or summer time. Monday would be least crowd. If you have to go during that time, plan it accordingly. Visit either early morning for easier parking or around 1 pm since most morning people left for lunch. But the best time would be 3 or 4 pm, weather already cool especially in fall/autumn season. Exhibit said close around 6 pm but most likely still open till late. We often stay till 7 pm or start walking to exit around 7 pm. They don't chase people out especially when weather is nice. We enjoyed the playground, digging area etc.Anyway I can't say enough about this zoo. MUST VISIT! And they always make some improvement and make it interesting every year. Most zoo that we visited in US, can't compare with this one.

The absolute best zoo my family and I have been to so far they have literally everything we have been more then once. Lots of food places train ride, lions, tiger’s aquarium, a big cool park and also a mini water park splash pad/mini river AMAZING !!!!!!!! If you are around it’s a must see. We go from the time it opens tell closing time. The Absolute best family time. Everything in the pictures is included with admission except the train ride and the sky ride

This is an amazing zoo! Get here early plan to walk out at closing. The kiosks and rides start closing early, so get those things done before 4:00. This is a large zoo, so do not think that you will see everything on your first visit. Wear your walking or hiking shoes. If you go see a show at the iMax, you loose an hour and a half of zoo time.

I can see why people call it the best zoo in the world! There are so many animals from all over the world and they seem to be doing a great job keeping them safe and healthy! The staff was very nice an friendly to us. The new play water area looks super fun for the kids!

I definitely know why it is rated one of the best zoos in the world. I've seen dozens of zoos across the world and its hard not to agree. A fantastic layout with an amazing selection of animals. Really easy to navigate through and walk around. Everything is really reasonably priced - including the gift store. The baby animals (at the time the tiger cubs and a cheeky orangutan) were the highlight!

We visited a few Zoos, but this one is the best. Our favorite part was the bats section, where they're flying over your heads.

(Translated by Google) The largest zoo in the world Henry Dorley Zoo in Omaha is home to about 17,000 animals, representing more than 962 species, and covers an area of ​​about 130 acres (53 hectares) of land, although there are zoos larger in area or in terms of species, except This park combines these two categories of area and number of species, which is why it is listed here as the largest zoo in the world, it also features the largest indoor swamp in the world, the largest indoor desert in the world, as well as the largest geodesic dome Glazed in the world ..... I advise you (Original) اكبر حديقة حيوان بالعالم حديقة حيوان هنري دورلى في أوماها هي موطن لحوالي 17.000 من الحيوانات والتي تمثل أكثر من 962 نوعاً ، وتغطي مساحة حوالي 130 فدان (53 هكتار) من الأرض، وإن كانت هناك حدائق حيوان أكبر من حيث المساحة أو من حيث الأنواع ، إلا أن هذه الحديقة تجمع بين هاتين الفئتين المساحة وعدد الأنواع ، لهذا السبب تم سردها هنا بوصفها أكبر حديقة حيوان في العالم، فهي تتميز أيضا بأنها تضم فيها أكبر مستنقع في الأماكن المغلقة في العالم، وأكبر صحراء في الأماكن المغلقة في العالم، فضلا عن أكبر قبة جيوديسية مزججة في العالم ..... انصحكم بها

Yes it is costly to spend the day at the zoo, but it is worth it. The zoo is kept very clean, is spacious, and there is so much to see and do for the whole family.

New news !!!!new baby male hippo, named Silas.The best zoo in the country,if you are passing through u need to stop by! off I80 1 minute and u are there.fun for everyone they have a mini train that takes u around the park.lots to see take my word.have fun we did.....

After seeing multiple zoos I can still say that this is my favorite zoo to visit. They are always improving it!

Great zoo. They are always adding more to it, ever evolving!

My family and I had a lot of fun but there wasn’t many restaurants open

Amazing Zoo! Must spend at least full day. If you have stroller walk park. If no stroller get unlimited ride pass and take train and tram. Lots of interaction and encounter with all types of animals. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

Quite possibly the biggest and best zoo in the world. If you haven't been here you need to go.

Simply amazing.

Love this zoo! The best!

Great zoo! Laid out well, lots to see and do.

Great for family's and friends. Long time walking 🚶 around . The food is over priced for a bottle water $3.50 and beer 🍻 $5 anything food over $4.50 and chips are $2.50. Bring lunch and save the money for Zoo Shop . The IMAX is amazing and nice to end the trip .

My wife and I get an annual pass every year and the improvements that have been done throughout 2015 and 2016 have exceeded all of our expectations you have got to check out the stingray pool you get to pet them and they love the attention

By far my favorite zoo. I live in KC and make a trip every couple of years when they open yet another new exhibit. Always expanding and evolving. Need to return soon to see the new giraffe area!

Best zoo anywhere! Something for everyone.

Arguably the best zoo in the country

The best day out you will ever have.

A real surprise, best zoo in the country amazingly better than the San Diego zoo.

Get here early and stay the entire day. Then come back and do it for the next week. That's the only way you'll be able to see all there is to offer here. I can't believe how large this Zoo has become and they are currently in construction mode to add even more parking and space! I can't wait to see what it's like when I visit next.

It's as good as people say it is. Worthy of a 4.8 average review.

Loved the zoo! Of the 5 zoos I've visited, this one is probably top 3, up with the San Diego Zoo and Detroit Zoo.

GOING HERE SHOULD BE ON EVERYONES BUCKET LIST!!!!!! I have been to both the San Diego zoo and this one and I can say without a shadow of doubt, that the Henry Doorly Zoo is by far the better experience. For the amount of money you spend, you pay half as much for easily double the content. This is the best zoo in America, hands down!

Fun place you could spend all day here!!!

The Henry Doorly Zoo is such an amazing zoo. So much variety and still many more in progress. Highlights are the gorilla house, aquarium, bear country, and desert dome. Great fun for kids AND parents!

Its so big and has a lot of species. The tropical jungle n the butterflies was the best. It's so big that it takes atleast 2 days to cover everything. However, if you are fit enough, can cover in a day provided you go at the time it opens. And be sure to take lots of snacks.!

Definitely the best zoo in the world! So much to do here, and they are always adding new things. You could easily spend the whole day here.

Friendly staff care about the experience of humans and animals. This zoo is a great place for kids to see how precious wildlife is, and how we need to be good stewards of the earth. The Henry Doorly Zoo does important conservation research, and provides education for people of all ages.

Amazing zoo, even in the winter. Animals seem happy and well cared for. Very clean. A must stop for all!

The zoo is the best place ever!!

So many new things added in the last couple of year, bring the kids and plan a whole day or more. Bring pennies to smash and cash for snacks and rides.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty (Original) Muy bonito

This is one of my favorite places in Omaha. If you live in the area a membership is definitely worth getting.

Way too crowded.

AMAZING

I like that there're building new habitats

I love this place

Great variety. Very god overall experience. Train isn't worth it yet with construction. But will be.

Love this zoo!!!

Very impressive zoo. Awesome!

So much to see and do. Everything seems extremely well taken care of.

Good prices. Very clean. Easily the very best zoo our 3 & 5 yo boys have been to and they love zoos!
