Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is happy to announce the full reopening of the Lied Jungle as of Friday, July 21.
“Thanks to the great work of our staff and the overwhelming support of the Omaha community, the Zoo is proud to announce the reopening of the Lied Jungle, in full,” said Dr. Luis Padilla, president and CEO of Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. “The reopening of the Lied Jungle has been a steady process, as we made necessary repairs to the Jungle roof and several lower-level features while maintaining animal wellbeing as the top priority.”
The roof of the iconic Lied Jungle had significant damage due to hailstorms last year. The first step to reopening took place in mid-June, with an incremental opening of the upper level. This process allowed the animals to be reacclimated to guests.
“Our animal care teams have done a tremendous job monitoring and working with the animals to maintain the highest well-being during the reopening process and give them time to be reacclimated to welcoming guests. We are thankful for the positive support and understanding of our community during this time. We are excited that our guests can once again be immersed in the life, colors and sounds of the animals and plant life of the Lied Jungle.”
The Lied Jungle will be open daily with the upper-level portion opening at 9 a.m. and the lower level at 9:30 a.m., until 4 p.m.
