Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo: Desert Dome & Kingdom Of The Night

Kate Bro / May 23, 2015

Our first stop at the zoo was the “Desert Dome” mainly because it was right inside the front entrance. The exhibits and animals are based on three deserts from around the world, including Arizona’s Sonoran Desert! Underneath the dome the we also explored the Kingdoms of the Night nocturnal exhibit.

There was plenty to see inside the dome, but since there were so many people there it was easy for the “line” to get backed up. I think maybe if we had waited until a little later in the day it would have been better. But otherwise we thought it was great! I included a little video from their site which gives a some great information about the dome and its features:
