OMAHA - Dennis Pate, the Director and CEO of Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo, stated that it was odd to have the weather warming but having no people attending the zoo. However, on June 1, though, some semblance of normalcy returned when the zoo opened its gates with many changes and some cooperative weather. A few thousand visitors have strolled around the zoo each day since.

Walter Jones, a zoo member, said that the reopening is “a step in the direction of normalcy.” Nonetheless, the zoo is not back to normal. All indoor exhibits are closed, and visitors are funneled on a one-way walk around the zoo. More exhibits could open in the next two to three weeks, Pate said, depending on what visitor feedback is received and further evaluations of how the zoo can keep visitors safe.
