OVERING MORE 130 ACRES, Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is Nebraska’s largest tourist attraction and is consistently ranked among the top zoos in the country. Omaha’s Zoo and Aquarium has evolved from a small city park established in 1894 with a menagerie of animals, to a nationally recognized zoological and conservation park that has exposed millions of people to rare and endangered species from around the world.
