Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

Evolving from the public Riverview Park Zoo established in 1894, today the zoo includes several notable exhibits. It features the largest cat complex in North America, and the Lied Jungle is one of the world's largest indoor rainforests.

The "Desert Dome" is the world's largest indoor desert, as well as the largest glazed geodesic dome in the world.

The zoo is Nebraska's top paid attendance attraction and has welcomed more than 25 million visitors over the past 40 years.

Getting There

The easiest way to get there by public transportation is to take the Metro Area Express (MAX) bus route 55. The bus stops near the zoo's entrance, and the trip takes around 30 minutes from downtown Omaha. Alternatively, visitors can take a taxi or ride-sharing service, which may be more convenient but also more expensive.
