OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) - If the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium is on your list of activities this weekend, you may notice things are starting to look like they did before the pandemic.

The Bay Family Children's Adventure Trails, along with the zoo's rides, are now open.

During the height of the pandemic, many of these contact attractions were closed.

The Alaskan Adventure Splashgrounds will also be opening once the weather warms up.
