Recapping some more fun from Day 1 & 2 in Omaha, Nebraska with my little Gigi 🌿 @nebraskagoodlife I think one of the highlights for Gigi was that limo party bus lol (hence her face in the video ☺️) and petting and feeding the beautiful giraffes! The @theomahazoo did not disappoint and now we definitely need to get back there to bring the rest of the kids ☺️ Ps: if you get a chance to see Wicked, I recommend it for the fam and any kiddos over the age of 5 or 6. It ran about 3 hours with the intermission. More from the rest of the trip coming soon! #NEPartner #NebraskaGoodLife . .

I have heard amazing things about the Omaha Zoo for years, but I never understood what made it so exceptional. [SAVE 💾 these tips for when you visit the zoo.] While there are lots of things that make it a spectacular zoo, the most astounding is how the habitats are so realistic and immersive that you literally feel like you have been transported to another spot in the world. If you’re visiting the zoo, don’t miss these incredible habitats: 🐪The Desert Dome 🦈The Scott Aquarium 🐒The Lied Jungle 🦋The Grewcock Butterfly and Insect Pavillion Or these amazing experiences: 🚠The Skyfari ski lift over the African Safari 🦈Touch and feed rays at Stingray Bay 🦒Backstage experiences such as feeding giraffes or training sea lions We’ll be back at the Omaha Zoo in a few weeks for the frightful... er, I mean delightful Ghouls and Glow event! Because the only thing my kids love more than animals and skeletons, is getting to see them after their bedtime while eating candy. . . . . #visitomaha #visitomahanebraska #visitnebraska #omahazoo #omaha #nebraska #iowa #zoo #roadtrip #roadtripwithkids #midwest #travel #midwesttravel
