Henry Doorly Zoo

Wow, what a zoo!  I have never seen such natural habitats for the animals.  They all seem pretty happy, except for maybe the big silver back gorilla who just appears bored.  The place is huge and there are many different exhibits that are so well done that you get a real feel for the country where the animals would live in the wild. For instance there is a desert habitat that sits under a huge dome and is filled with all kinds of cactus and sand.  The birds fly wild inside and all the animals native to this kind of area are housed in very natural settings.  Another great place is the aquarium where you actually walk past glass walls and underneath glass bridges.  It honestly feels like you are inside with the sharks!  It is huge too, we walked for ever it seemed and still didn't see it all.  I'm sure we will go many times and enjoy it just as much as the first time.  My sister, Stacey, worked here at the zoo when her husband was going to dental school and she used to rave about it, and now I can surely see why.  Sooooo, another reason to come visit Nebraska....the Henry Doorly Zoo!!
