About Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

This Omaha zoo is known for its large indoor habitats. The Desert Dome holds plants and animals from three deserts, and beneath it Kingdoms of the Night leads you through a wet cave, a canyon and a swamp of nocturnal animals. The Lied Jungle, an indoor rainforest, fills a building 80 feet tall. In the Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium you walk through a 70-foot shark tunnel, and outdoors you can visit Hubbard Gorilla Valley and the Scott African Grasslands.
