Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo’s Indoor Rainforest Exhibit 🌿🦜

Just came across the Lied Jungle (pronounced “LEED”) at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska! 🇺🇸 This is the largest indoor rainforest exhibit in the United States. 🌴 Inside, you’ll find a vast collection of tropical rainforest plants 🌱, with water features separating different zones dedicated to the three major rainforest regions of the world: the Americas, Asia, and Africa. 🐒🦜🐊 Winding paths and suspension bridges allow visitors to immerse themselves fully in the lush environment—it truly feels like wandering through an actual rainforest! 🌉✨ Fun fact: Henry Doorly Zoo has a bit of panda history 🐼📖. A few years ago, it almost became the next U.S. zoo (after Memphis) to host giant pandas. According to locals, a panda exhibit was even built, and a huge banner was put up in 2015 to promote the upcoming pandas. However, due to various reasons, the plan was eventually abandoned. The original panda enclosure design can still be found online 🏗️🔍. Nowadays, the space is likely occupied by African elephants or chimpanzees—though I’m not entirely sure! 🐘🦍 #Zoo #ExploreTheZoo #Omaha #TravelUSA
