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.
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!
This is one of my favorite places in Omaha. If you live in the area a membership is definitely worth getting.
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.
GOING HERE SHOULD BE ON EVERYONES BUCKET LIST!!!!!!
It's as good as people say it is. Worthy of a 4.8 average review.
