Omaha Zoo was a ritual for the 8 boys growing up.  We had friends in Sioux Falls, so it was a great place to meet.  Usually did the zoo and the dad's would take in a CWS game or two at Rosenblatt before it was really popular.  Kids would swim.  UP museum at union station. Wander the Con Agra campus who was my employer at the time.

I think in our time the aquarium, rain forest, and desert dome were new attractions.

I am old enough to remember Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom TV show growing up myself.

I can remember some MOWK myself.   Omaha zoo has become a bit of a ritual for the Schreds family as well.  This is our 4th year coming up here on Memorial day weekend. Big fans of the aquarium and the American swamp at the bottom of the desert dome.  Mrs Schreds and lil Schreds like the kiddo area as well (although today splash park and little river were closed so that sucked.  We enjoy Omaha.  Kind if hope one of these years we forego the zoo and spend the weekend doing other stuff.   Usually too wiped out after the zoo to do anything other than go eat (Hook & Lime ftw) and go back to the hotel and swim.  Hopefully have an irl Steve Dave encounter someday as well.
