The Martins hit the road again this morning and headed to Nebraska! We finally made the trip to Ohmaha, Nebraska to visit the Henry Doorly Zoo. We had heard such great things about this zoo and wanted to find out for ourselves. It isn't a bad road trip. It took 2.5 hours to arrive and it was worth the drive!
The day was perfect and it was only 66 degrees when we arrived in Nebraska! Gorgeous and sunny day made perfect for the zoo! The zoo had a lot to offer too. The exhibits included inside viewing and outside viewing for most of the animal exhibits. Of course, the zoo had the normal animals to see, but had a really cool Safari Skyview ride. It is basically a ski lift that lets you tour the Safari area from above. The girls loved this ride and would have rode it again if we didn't run out of time!
We also rode the carousel and train ride. Lydia waited all day to get on the trian and finally it was her turn! It was a cute steam engine and it also took you on a tour of some of the animals. It took a little while to get on the train, but the girls enjoyed it just the same. That is the good thing about this zoo- many ways to view the animals.
We took a picnic lunch and enjoyed it outside. We stayed mose of the day. We left at 8:00am this morning and got home at 8:00pm tonight. The girls were exhausted, but loved every minute! Lydia's eyes were bright red from exhaustion by the time we made it home. We definitely had plenty to do and see today. We didn't even finish some of the zoo, but it was closing time.
So, if you are in this area, then take off for a day trip. It is worth it!
