Visited the zoo in Omaha yesterday that was deemed “the world’s best zoo” and I could see how!! We loved it so much!! The indoor exhibits were impressive, never felt so up close & personal with the animals and the grounds were so beautiful even this time of year. I took so many pics so it was really hard for me to find ones that I really wanted to share...so here is part 1. 😆 ••• #uzarragaadventures #omaha #nebraska #roadtrip #roadtrippers #familyfun #zoo #henrydoorlyzoo #love #highlyrecommend #travel
