Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is located on 130 acres of land in Omaha, and it’s a great way to spend an afternoon learning about animals and marine life as kids get up close and personal with some really cool creatures. Visitors can take part in an animal encounter to meet some of the zoo’s residents, or even take a backstage tour to meet some of the zookeepers and see all the work that goes into running a zoo and keeping all the animals happy. The zoo runs classes and camps for kids of all ages, and even hosts events throughout the year for holidays and seasonal fun.
