Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo

[BWillie]

Do they have Otters?

That is all I care about. I've found out that Otters are the coolest mother ****ers in the world. They will perform for you. Swim around all hyper actively.

Wow, that looks awesome. We have a great zoo here but I'd really like to go to the Omaha zoo sometime.

[SAUTO]

Next time i'm going to plan on spending a couple days. Like I said we went the day after Christmas kinda on a whim. (Other vacation plans fell through because idiots thought a wedding at a night club was a good idea and I have kids) but there was this huge storm coming and we just shot in in front of it and had to get the hell out quickly. Bubba really likes sharks.

But the desert was really cool. So was the rainforest.


Everything looked top notch.

Great zoo. Some kinda monkey took a shit in front of my 8yr old nephew. It was the highlight of his trip.

Certainly a top zoo in the world. But, like music, it's subjective. I've always heard that it goes back and forth between SD and Omaha as far as the "best" in America, but I see the St. Louis Zoo is pretty highly rated as well.

Henry Doorly is indeed top notch though, no two ways about it.

One of the most overrated places. I heard everyone talk about the San Diego zoo, but it didn’t come close to the Omaha zoo. The pandas were the only thing that made it more unique. Those won’t be around much longer though from the sound of it. Renting Pandas for that much money was a joke anyways.

They were breading the pandas, not renting them. Plus it lives up to the hype. There is a reason it is considered by many as the best in the world. I had not heard of the Omaha zoo until this thread. It's not even close.

You can tell you’ve never been to both. No one that has would say “it’s not even close” You also obviously don’t know much about the government of China and pandas if you think those things were free.

I'm not arguing with you. Google worlds best zoos. San Diego is the first to come up. I've already said that I haven't even heard of the Omaha zoo until this thread. Clearly I've never been there. Nor do I plan to ever go to Omaha. You can google as well as to what the purpose of having the pandas was. Hint: it was to breed them.

Again, it's subjective, but to say "It's not even close" betrays an ignorance of what you are talking about. It's more than close. Look into it if you want, but don't go all West Coast on me here. That you have never heard of it makes sense, it's in Omaha. But a little looking into it would show that it is a world class zoo, considered by MANY to be superior to San Diego. Just sayin'...

I agree that when Googled Omaha shows up. I'm not saying I'm a world class traveler. I have never heard of the zoo before. That's not me being all 'west coast' as you put it. That's me stating fact. I have never heard of it. I have heard of the Bronx zoo though. So if someone stated that was the best, at least I have heard of it. Omaha, nothing. If I told you Temecula Valley High School was the best in the world, you would probably think 'I've never even heard of the school, how could it be the best?' That's my point. San Diego is routinely considered the best. I went there 3 weeks ago on my honeymoon. My wife and I loved it.
