I will be visiting the Henry Doorly Zoo next Tuesday and Wednesday for the first time. Any suggestions or advice about the zoo that would be helpful for me to know as a first time visitor ?

Do the indoor parts early, they get very crowded. Also, walk down behind the Butterfly building to see the little blue penguins, they are rather hidden in a glass-fronted exhibit. Also, don't miss the massive herd of guars that can be seen from the cages on top of the hill on the north side of the zoo.
 
Thank you ! I think that is the best idea - doing the inside exhibits early. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Paula,
Great question! We asked our Omaha Facebook fans today and received a lot of good tips. For example: " Go early, Stay late! Leave your calendar open....no other plans....pack a lunch, be a family....laugh and learn." Find more suggestions here https://www.facebook.com/visitomaha
Have a great visit!

Welcome VisitOmaha, l am wondering if you are the first facebook page moderator/entity to post on Zoochat? Unlikely but cant say l have seen one before.

Hi, Paula Koala! Good to see a "flickr friend" on here! (I'm *bdjs* by the way). Hope you enjoy your visit to Henry Doorly! I look forward to seeing the pictures.
 
Hello *bdjs* !! I sent you a friend request. I'm trying to find my way around this website. It seems to be a little more complicated than flickr. I'm very excited about visiting the Henry Doorly Zoo. I've wanted to see it since it was feaured in Ultimate Zoos on Animal Planet.

I don't think I've ever seen or heard of that show. Is it still on or was it some sort of special program? Make sure you give a full report of the zoo! hahaha.

I'm glad you found zoochat and I hope you enjoy your time here. It's full of wonderful information and a lot of knowledgeable people.

The show Ultimate Zoos aired back in 2005 or 2006 I think. It featured innovative exhibits in zoos around the world. I wish they would bring it back or air the shows again.
 
Welcome Paula Koala! Nice to see you on another form of communication.
