This is a very very nice zoo. The enclosures are large and spacious, and they had a varied collection of wildlife, including some snakies from Australia that I have not seen in a very long while. I had a great time here. :)
Some photos.
For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit. I am currently in Nebraska.
Inside the zoo. The dome is the Desert Dome.

Abyssinian Ground Hornbill
African Elephant mom and junior
Sable Antelope. Magnificent horns.
Takin (rhymes with “rockin’”)
Pere David’s Deer. Very rare.
Hooded Oriole
Taipan. Generally considered to be the most toxic land snake in the world. He had just shed, and was keeping a VERY close eye on me.
Red-Bellied Piranha
White-Handed Gibbon
Howler Monkeys
Jade-Headed Buffalo Beetles. The photo does not do them justice—they sparkle like jewelry. I want some.
Lesser Kudu
Cape Thick-Knee
Pink-Backed Pelican
