Some people like to concentrate on the flaws in Omaha's Lied Jungle, Desert Dome or Kingdoms of the Night exhibits, but I think that this zoo swings for the fences and is probably the #3 best zoo in North America. Not everyone would agree with that statement, but the WOW factor is there for all to see.
@JigerofLemuria Well, I wrote that statement about Omaha being the #3 zoo in the USA way back in 2008. Now I'd put Omaha in the #2 position! San Diego is #1, Omaha second and Saint Louis third...but of course that is simply my opinion.
@snowleopard Cool!
I don't think I've been to enough zoos in the USA to have an opinion. I only went to the Bronx Zoo and Central Park Zoo, both in New York.
Would the Bronx Zoo be on your top 10?
@JigerofLemuria I'd have Bronx in the #4 position...a legendary zoo. In terms of conservation work then the Bronx Zoo is arguably the 'greatest' zoo on the planet.
