Omaha Zoo North Entrance

👍👍 Great zoo. Very large, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Nice spray areas for cooling off as you walk through. Recommend bringing your own food and drinks as it's pricey there. Get your tickets online for the fastest entry.

👍👍 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...

👍👍 Really up close gorilla viewing. They interact some with the visitors. The shear size of them is impressive and a little unsettling considering how close you get. Worth the visit if in Omaha.

👍👍 The Jungle Biome was stunning. It feels so spacious inside even with the incredible amount of foliage surrounding you!. There are birds and bats that are just open air fliers. So many species of animals inside there. It definitely has a jungle feel! There is an upper "canopy" level and a lower ju...

Tropical fish store
👍👍 The staff was super knowledgable and helpful at helping me pick some quick growing plants, and they threw in an assassin snail to combat any lurkers. The first two photos were how I threw those plants into my tank. After 6 months, my tank was a jungle (not pictured) so I cut probably half the growth...

Hawkins Giraffe Encounter
Zoo
👍👍 The Giraffe Encounter is another very nice exhibit in this beautiful zoo. There are plenty of viewing areas where you get great views of the giraffes. There is an indoor area where you can see the baby. At least on this day the baby was inside. There is shade so that you can escape the sun.

👍 This is a splash playground with an Alaskan wildlife theme. Kids can choose to get wet or really wet. Tip: if you or your kids choose to change into or out of swimwear for this experience, skip the old, tiny bathrooms at nearby red barn park. There are quick change areas for kids on the perimeter of...
