The Henry Dorley Zoo is in Omaha, but well worth the trip. It was once labeled the best zoo in the world. With an aquarium, butterfly pavilion, gorilla enclosure, desert dome, chimpanzees, and the nightlife a section you won’t be bored. It seems like the whole zoo was built on a hill so be prepared to get a workout:)
