This is the best zoo in the country and I'm not just saying that because I live here. People from all over come to see our zoo. It is spectacular and big and takes all day or only half day if you don't want to spend the whole day there

Tons of animals, lots to do, Imax theater. Members get in free and get into Imax free also! They're always updating and adding attractions-very nice to walk through! I try to get here once a year (7 hour drive and worth it!)

I love going to the Omaha Zoo. I get a membership every year and it is a great family value.When you have a family membership you do not need to see everything each time you go. My son and I have the dual membership which is less expensive than the family membership. I love the Creatures of the night exhibit.... More

We spent a couple of hours here at just the indoor exhibits as it was a cold, rainy afternoon. We enjoyed the Lied Jungle, the Wild Kingdom Pavilion, the Aquarium and the Butterfly and Insect Pavilion. BE WARNED....there are live bats flying about in the jungle. Although they never landed on any of us, we did feel wing brushes a... More

Mutual of Omaha, Wild Kingdom. If you're my age, that will ring a bell. This is an amazing zoo, any time of year. I went in the middle of winter and was impressed, I can't imagine how awesome it is in the peak season. I live on the west coast where we can be arrogant about our year-round zoos. I... More

We had heard before that this Zoo was awesome..... The old "Mutual of Omaha" Zoo we all grew up with. The aquarium is by far the best with the gorillas coming in second. There was a large number of "Animals temporarily off display" signs in many areas, which was a disappointment especially with a $15 admission fee. This also is... More
