Henry Doorly Zoo - a fun family destination - is located just south of Nebraska I-80 and exit 454 in Omaha, Nebraska.
The history of the Henry Doorly Zoo evolves from the small Riverview Park zoo, which was established in 1894.
With the growing number of animals and exhibits, the zoo’s facilities were improved during the first half of 20th century.
The zoo spans an area of about 130 woodland acres, and includes 15 major animal habitats. It manages more than 17,000 specimens representing about 1,000 species that includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates.
It also exhibits 44 species that are listed as endangered by Convention on International Trade in Endangered Animals (CITE) as well as seven threatened species.
Henry Doorly Zoo has many innovative facilities and exhibits that preserve a broad array of species and vividly present them to the public.
