Welcome to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium

I live there

I am so saddened to write this review. Such a jewel of my city has fallen into the wrong management. Employees are bottom of the barrel. Young man with pants literally below his cheeks, no care at all. Yelled at by hideous women I don't want my children around--big, satanic tattoos, slovenly, full of spiked metal coming out their faces, zero care attitude to the customers. I'm telling you these women--green hair, so unkempt, so aggressive, so totally unresponsive to guests. It is sickening. Our zoo is gone. I wanted to vomit when I left.

I was there

Proud of my State! So nice!

This was one of the first news that I’ve been to when I was very little. I’m just watching it to see if I recognize anything or remember anything I was only around four years old at the time.

Best zoo ever!

definitely on the level of the san diego zoo

Хой! Русские есть?

I’m on my way 😎🔥

The entire zoo is great, but I could have watched the pinguins swim for days!

Used to live within walking distance to this place. I miss it so much.

Home town zoo ftw.

now the animals are pretty quiet!

Man, I gotta get out to Nebraska sometime

I was 2 months old when the jungle opened in 1992, and I've been going ever since. It's my favorite place in the world.

I visited it many yrs ago and I just have to come back next yr. THE BEST (BETWEEN )CALIFORNIA ANF FLORIDA

I went there today

I'm from omaha and between covid and life me going to the zoo since covid on Father's day was like going for the 1st time. anyone watching this please come with your family and enjoy something you'll never forget

You need to do the kingdom of the night

"Sparing no expense"
So my local zoo is just jurassic park done right and with modern species

YAYA

I was born in Omaha and going to the zoo every year was one of my favorite things to do unfortunately I moved to Seattle in when I was 14

This video is absolutely incredible. Made zoos way more interesting! Cheers g

Easily one of the best zoos. Rivals San Diego.

I've been to this zoo a few times and never had any issues. I went yesterday (8/14/21) with my family and it has really gone to crap. A lot of closed down exhibits, a lot of empty enclosures, train shut down, 25 bucks a person for adults, and you can forget about buying food and drinks there unless you want to spend hours in line and empty your bank account. We spent half the time there searching for food and drinks and were getting dangerously dehydrated. My sister had to leave way early because it was so ridiculous that she was about to pass out. I'm not exaggerating at all, about 9 out of 10 drinking fountains do not work in the park. Most food places are closed so the few they do have open are WAY over crowded and the service is so slow that the lines barely move, count on being in line for several hours. Forget about buying refreshments from the vending machines as they are literally all sold out. Nevermind the fact that it costs $3.75 for the drinks in the vending machines and they still can't seem to stock them. You had better bring your own koy fish pellets with you too because all the fish food dispensers were empty except for the two machines that didn't work at all, they were completely full. But if you need to buy your kids overpriced merchandise you still can, all of that is completely stocked. Profits are clearly the priority to Omaha Zoo over customer experience and safety. It's like they're literally trying to kill people. We had to ask an employee for some cups and ice water from one of the "online ordering only" food vendors which thank God they gave to us (in tiny dixie cups btw). It was so bad that people started asking us where we got the water from. IT WAS BEYOND RIDICULOUS!!! And I hate when people use all caps and exclamation points btw.

The Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium is my absolute favorite place on earth! I just discovered your channel, and I was so happy to hear that you loved the HDZA so much!

As an Omaha native, when I visited family out of state and whent to thier local zoo, I was shocked at how small it was. Henry Doorly really spoiled me for zoo's in the best ways.

Thank you, love Omaha zoo. #homaha ❤️❤️

Omaha looks so amazing, I really want to go there so bad especially seeing the Desert Dome, Lied Jungle, African Grasslands and Asian Highlands regions

It is such a great zoo!

Wow! No dislikes and 212 likes. You deserve it.

Going here for my first time in 2 weeks! 7hr drive and a car full of 5. Hope it's worth it. Top 5 in worlds best zoo's list for 7yrs? Nebraska!!! who would of thought. We will see!!!

I used to live about 20min from here- it's so big it's near impossible to see everything in a day, one of my absolute favorite places

I love the Henry doorly zoo and since I live in Omaha Nebraska I can go a lot and it is super fun if you get the chance to go there take it

FINALLY Henry Doorley zoo

Man I really wanna go to the zoo I love seeing the animals there. Especially the apes and monkeys.

I wish they got to keep more of there bears but there were outdated

Could you please subscribe my Chanel too. Thank you all.

What else it there to do in Omaha? Its far for me to travel there. Is there like a Chinatown?

Been there 3 times back when I was in Omaha! Jumping Jaxartosaurus!🐆🐆🐆🐆

Omaha zoo was such an amazing experience too bad when my family was visiting the zoo we didn't have enough time to see every thing and there was construction on the new lemur habitat but atleast I got to experience the amazing indoor habitats and many of my favorite animals

Yes!!! I love this zoo it's probably my favorite that I've been too and I only live two hours away it's so good!!!!

More tours from the Henry Doorly Zoo incoming. I as European never been there, but what i saw on ZooChat was incredible.

Looks so cool!! Your voice sounds different did you get a new microphone or are you sick?

You’re getting real close too that 10k mark

I went to Henry Doorly for the first time around 2014-2015, and while I liked it, there were definitely some pretty horrendously outdated exhibits. But I went back in 2018 and was much, much more impressed with it! The sterile bear grottoes were gone (it's now the Sea Lion Pool, replacing the terrible old Sea Lion Pool) and the Asian Highlands and Africa exhibits were amazing! I haven't seen a real-life elephant in a zoo since Lincoln Park Zoo's last ones died in 2004, and seeing not only the herd, but a bull elephant was impressive as well. I don't think I'd seen a bull at that point. I'm glad I gave the zoo another chance, because I really love it now! Now to just fix that outdated cat building and the really pathetic great ape exhibit.
