Acuario Suzanne y Walter Scott

Experiencia positiva: The Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo is the largest aquarium located within a zoo in the United States. First opened in 1995 and renovated in stages—most recently completing a major update in May 2020—the aquarium showcases a dazzling range of aquatic environments, from polar regions and Amazonian habitats to vibrant coral reefs and temperate oceans. The centerpiece is a massive 450,000‑gallon shark tank with a 70‑foot underwater tunnel, where visitors can walk beneath sharks, rays, and sea turtles. The exterior underwent a striking redesign, featuring a wave‑like stainless steel canopy, coral‑inspired metal panels, and eight rooftop steel wave sculptures enhanced by dynamic, color‑changing lighting that transforms the facade into an immersive, ocean‑themed spectacle after dark. Inside, the aquarium delights with displays of penguins, jellyfish, octopus, seahorses, and interactive touch tanks—offering guests an educational and awe‑inspiring dive into the wonders of marine life.

Experiencia fantástica: So much fun!!! The zoo here was giant and had animals of every category! From lions, snow leopards, cheetahs, and tigers, to elephants, zebras, monkeys, plus so many aquatic creatures like turtles, dolphins, puffins, and even sharks, there's so much to see here! My husband and I walked pretty quickly for the majority of it and made the whole thing in about 3 hours, but you could take your time and probably have at least a 4 hour trip.

Experiencia fantástica: Best Zoo in America. Amazing aquarium with awesome learning opportunities. Family loves every trip we make.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful,and well maintained. The sea life appears well cared for,staff are friendly and kind.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience

Experiencia fantástica: It was a fun trip for the entire family. Loved seeing some of the enrichment they do with the animals.

Experiencia fantástica: It's hard to believe this isn't a stand-alone attraction and just part of the Omaha zoo experience. It's first class from the touch experience to the penguin exhibit to the shark reef where you walk through a huge aquarium tank via a glass tunnel. No wonder the Omaha zoo was voted best in the country!

Experiencia fantástica: Very impressive set of animals! I love the tunnel that showed all the creatures! Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: The Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo is a breathtaking underwater experience. From vibrant coral reefs to the mesmerizing shark tunnel, it offers stunning views of marine life. The diverse exhibits, including jellyfish and sea turtles, make it both educational and immersive. A must-visit for ocean lovers! Excellent collection of water creatures.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best aquariums. Do make a visit if in and around omaha

Experiencia fantástica: Wow!

Experiencia fantástica: We have been to the Zoo and aquarium many times, and it is really 1 of the best in the country (we have visited many states and Aquariums/Zoo! Reasonably priced and close to the Interstate - well worth the stop

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome experience for a zoo :)

Experiencia fantástica: Not the biggest aquarium, but we'll maintained and lots to see. Jellyfish exhibit was awesome. Walk-thru ocean tunnel was great. If you're already at the Zoo, then this is an obvious addition to your trip.

Experiencia fantástica: The Aquarium is amazing -- not only can you pet jellyfish, watch penguins play and swim, learn all kinds of facts about underwater creatures, but you walk through a tunnel underwater while stingrays, fish, sharks and turtles swim above. The jellyfish are wonderful located inside the Omaha Henry Dorley Zoo, we never miss this exhibit!

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoy going there especially when it's not crowded.

Experiencia fantástica: The octopus was active! We went for a school field trip, end of April. The kids loved it and the aquarium is always a favorite.

Experiencia fantástica: I photographed a Memorial Weekend wedding at the Walter Scott Aquarium. It was such a unique experience to enjoy the Zoo for a wedding. It was very crowded and hard to find parking but once the evening started and the aquarium was open for cocktail hour it was such a lovely experience for all the guests!

Experiencia fantástica: A fun and exciting time.

Experiencia fantástica: We don't live far from the zoo so we visit quite often.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to take kiddos when nothing is to do in Omaha winter!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Can't beat it

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience just wish more animals were out and about

Experiencia fantástica: I can see why this is voted one of the best zoos and aquariums. This is such a lovely place to visit! They have so many animals and so many different exhibits. All of which looked clean and all of the animals looked healthy. The aquarium is a really beautiful place and there are so many different side exhibits within. The staff is also really helpful there and knowledgeable! Go check them out!

Experiencia fantástica: Great event staff and fantastic Aquarium!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely enchanting experience! Beautiful displays and I loved the seasonal decorations. The little kid in me was so happy to get the set of pressed pennies.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing! Could spend the whole day there!

Experiencia fantástica: Took my grandson, he loves the zoo.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful

Experiencia fantástica: Considered as a smaller size of the aquarium. They managed it well. Restrooms were clean. Walk way we’re well lit. The jellyfish section was mesmerizing. The penguins were very happy and active. I wish the tunnel section would have moving floor so people don’t just stay at one spot and clogging up the pathway. Kids would love this section the most of the zoo.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great time

Experiencia fantástica: Always a fun time!

Experiencia positiva: Fun exhibit with cool underwater tunnel. I always love seeing all the fish. I saw exotic fish, stingrays, sea turtles & sharks! They also have a fun gift shop that had mugs, sea life inspired jewelry, fun themed books and lots of stuffed animals.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely entertaining and wonderful! Loved it and even my 3 month old grandson loved it!! Something for every age here. Highly recommend to check it out. Could be the best part of the zoo in my opinion!

Experiencia fantástica: All went well and was very easy and simple

Experiencia fantástica: This aquarium is such a great place to beat the afternoon heat at the zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: This is an amazing aquarium. Lots of people, but worth the crowds.

Experiencia fantástica: There is a great covered eating area which has snacks and food, within there are loads of exhibits and if you time your visits hands on experiences too. We do have a video touching on the aquarium currently. "Two Ladies Midwest Adventures". Lots of love and enjoy the journey always!

Experiencia fantástica: Love it

Experiencia fantástica: One of our favorite stops. It's great being able to see ocean life in the Midwest

Experiencia fantástica: great place to bring family

Experiencia fantástica: This aquarium is relatively small but had plenty of neat fish/animals inside. It is handicap accessible and easy to navigate. Right through the entrance there is an area where you can touch some starfish. Definitely recommend taking some time to go through here while you're at the zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Bit crowded but fun

Experiencia fantástica: Love the Zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Attended a "Shark"cuterie board pop up event/class with my wife. Themed drinks with dinner and even got a behind the scenes tour. Fantastic experience after hours at the zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: We did Shark-uterie and it was A....Mmmm...Aaa...zing

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite place at the zoo!!

Experiencia fantástica: What an incredible benefit to the Omaha community to see everything from penguins to sharks to the reef ecosystem.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely beautiful. I love the aquarium

Experiencia fantástica: I've always loved the aquarium but this time we were able to take our time going through and noticed some things we had missed before.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice collection of sea creatures.

Experiencia fantástica: Great aquarium, loved the tunnel aquarium part a lot with big fishes, worth our time I will definitely take my kids again Awesome place for photos and videos with bog fishes it is located within omaha doorly and henry zoo

Experiencia fantástica: What can I say other than it really is one of the best places to visit

Experiencia fantástica: Taking a moment to just sit and watch the sea life is do calming

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome! This zoo and aquarium is one of the Must-do place.

Experiencia fantástica: kids had fun at the zoo, I think the special event prices are high for the Christmas specials and this spook tabular.Halloween event. Zoos always a fun place to be.and we always enjoy it !

Experiencia fantástica: Holy moly!! What an experience. We traveled from Oklahoma just for this zoo trip. And it is more than worth that trip and cost.

Experiencia positiva: Been visiting here for almost 2 decades, and I have to say each year there seems to be fewer and fewer fish/sharks/creatures in the big aquarium. It was sort of disappointing this trip.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful!

Experiencia fantástica: Our absolute favorite space at the zoo. Even after years of visiting, we never get tired of it. Highly recommend going during the penguin feeding time. The touch tank space is always fun for littles as well.

Experiencia positiva: Good aquarium. I thought the New Orleans one was better, but don't know if it still exists, (due to Hurricane Katrina).

Experiencia fantástica: I always love coming here to see the sharks, and the zebra sharks were very precious today.

Experiencia fantástica: Best aquarium and zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Updated. Clean, very well organized. Bring your own snacks everything overpriced.

Experiencia fantástica: Fun to watch the penguins and puffins!

Experiencia fantástica: The place was wondering

Experiencia fantástica: Really neat place

Experiencia fantástica: This aquarium is a site to see. You actually walk underneath the aquarium and get to view huge fish including sharks and stingrays from beneath. My family and I added this exhibit as one of our favorites to visit at the zoo.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome!! Crowded because theirs sting rays to pet and feed.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome

Experiencia positiva: aquarium was fair but not worth the $30 bucks they charge to get in this place

Experiencia fantástica: Loved all of the aquatic displays. Very nice..

Experiencia fantástica: Always a beautiful and awe inspiring visit!

Experiencia fantástica: Great part of Omaha Zoo.

Experiencia fantástica: This aquarium was well laid out and the exhibits were immersive.

Experiencia fantástica: Truly awesome. Definitely something everyone should experience at once. Make sure you have a camera

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful! Amazing zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: An amazing aquarium, especially when you consider it’s location in landlocked Omaha! We would have enjoyed it more had there been a way to keep it from being so packed full of visitors but what can ya do, right? Awesome variety of sea life to learn about and enjoy!

Experiencia fantástica: love it!

Experiencia fantástica: Always a plus especially its air-conditioned nice on hot days

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing. This seriously is just as good as most of Sea World. The set up, the variety of animals. Bonus is that this is included in your zoo admission. I highly recommend going. Super clean. So much to see.

Experiencia fantástica: Best aquarium in the states. Located in the best zoo.

Experiencia positiva: We love it here, but the penguins seemed unimpressed with the selection of fish. If you're not interested in the penguin feeding or shark feeding, avoid the area 10:15-11:30 because of the crowds.

Experiencia fantástica: Henry Doorly is a world ranked zoo. Competing yearly with the likes of the San Diego zoo and aquarium. Season pass is ideal for locals to catch bits and pieces all year long. If you're a tourist stopping in, either plan one very long day from doors open til close or plan two days to take in all the marvelous exhibits.

Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium was awesome! I loved how interactive the entire site was. The fish tunnels, up close displays, penguins, etc. all felt like they were there with you. The building was very modern, clean, and best of all, cool. The only complain I have was the crowds were huge, it detracted from the experience somewhat. But that's just a sign of how popular this place is.

Experiencia fantástica: Kids love it.

Experiencia fantástica: They did a great job on this aquarium. Love it

Experiencia fantástica: Very busy, super neat to see all sorts of jellyfish though

Experiencia fantástica: Great facility..too crowded. Strollers and wagons took lots of space. Maybe monitoring the numbers going in would help.

Experiencia fantástica: Super cool! I enjoy my time here

Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium was amazing!! The sea lions were some of my favorite animals, the gorillas were beautiful and the sloth bear was a beast. Best weekend trip idea ever.

Experiencia positiva: Great aquarium with breath taking fish!

Experiencia fantástica: Loved it

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful and super crowded on a Saturday.

Experiencia fantástica: Just one great aspect of the world's best zoo

Experiencia fantástica: A great place to see all manner of aquatic birds and sea animals. Plus it makes for a nice respite from the heat!

Experiencia fantástica: So great especially for kids! And a really good way to cool off on those hot days at the zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: The Aquarium was great!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing - as always!

Experiencia positiva: Great exhibit, but very cramped.
