Henry Doorly Zoo has been crowned as the worlds best zoo. Thanks for coming to Nebraska, yes we get a bad rap because like u said if ur just driving thru it just looks like all corn fields but we have so much more to see and do and u’ve done a great job capturing the essence of our great state of Nebraska.
I’m from eastern NE and have ALWAYS wondered what an outsider would think of our area. This was so fun to watch! I think it’s a good judge of character when someone can find beauty in what most people overlook, so kudos to you both. I’m glad you enjoyed this flyover state so much!
My 7th great grandmother on my mother's side came over in a mormon handcart. She lost her feet and is immortalized with a statue at the university in Cedar City Utah. Her name is Nellie Unthank.
I went and read Nellie's story and it was both sad and inspiring. I have said it before and still believe it: If the people from that era came to the present-day they would kick our ass because we have gotten soft both physically and mentally. Go check out the history of Ellen Pucell Unthank when you think you are having a bad day.
I'm glad you liked it here. You should try again when there isn't a pandemic. There is always something going on if you know where to look. From farmers markets, to art shows. Shakespeare on the green and concerts in the park. The people are friendly and we sure love our pups. They are building a large dog park in that area downtown that is under construction, among other things going in there. I hope you come back soon! I'm sure any of us would happily be a guide!
People that claim Nebraska is flat and bored. Never get off I-80. Thanks for showing beautiful Nebraska by driving some of our great 2 lane roads! THANKS Dan H Bennet Nebraska
@@stevecattano1883 Yes. If you are already in Omaha, don't even bother with Omaha Steaks. Literally any meat market or Fairway Foods will have much better steaks.
Awesome of you taking time to travel. I live in Omaha 30 years now and I learned a couple things from you in your video. I had worked in 30 states prior to moving to Omaha. I chose Omaha as it has a little bit of everything, good healthcare, and is affordable. Hope you come back sometime.
They’re not joking when they say we all tell visitors to go to the zoo! 😆 Plan a whole day for the zoo, wear good clothes for walking, and make sure you spend some time reading and learning! Also, Runza is a restaurant we Nebraskans plug, so stop in to one!
@@meltingpointcreations1457 Runza is a must!!! An Fall time visitors Valas pumpkin patch!! CWS and the Taste of Omaha, Summer Arts Festival!! We have so much here!
@@huskerchickmissy I want to personally invite you to Omaha. Take some time to see the zoo, (Is know as the best Zoo in the US) other countries have sent representatives to study the zoo, so they can go back to update their zoos., Nice restaurants, local camp grounds, shopping down town. Museums, and events.
We are SO proud of our zoo here in Omaha, so I thank you for going, and I’m glad you had a great time! What I love best about the zoo is the constant effort to improve, learn, and teach! I hope you do decide to come back to Omaha another time.
You guys do such a great job with these videos. Make us realize how much we have to see when we retire in a few years. Thank you for sharing your life with us. By the way love your hair so much. Makes me think it's time to cut mine off again.
Don’t forget Kool Aid was founded in Hastings, also other famous Nebraska made things are nationally known ‘Dorthy Lynch’ dressing (I work with the grandson of the lady who started it) and of course ‘Runza’ and it’s only in Nebraska.
That does it! Next year we're heading out west from our home in Ohio and Nebraska will be on our bucket list of places to explore. Thank you for your hard work putting up these videos.
I’ve heard great things about Omaha. I guess they have multiple good breweries there👍🏼😁. Looks like you were headed towards my neck of the woods. Fall is a great time in MN. Hopefully you got here to enjoy it.
First, you're really kicking up that opening! Second, we could not agree more: no matter where you go in this great country there is always something interesting, beautiful, or educational...
I have lived in Omaha/Bellevue Ne all my life except for 9 months in Florida which was ok but I love Nebraska most. Thank you for showing our state and some of the features of your travel. I have always wanted to see that archway, just never had the chance. Be safe and blessed on your further travels!!!
Having moved from Iowa to Colorado in 73, I've made that drive many times. Watched the arch being built. Finally stopped and visited it a couple years ago in October on the way back from Iowa with our RPod. We've been meaning to stop around Omaha instead of just blasting through so now we'll have to. Thanks for the great video!
I remember when! Watching the nature film from years ago & sponsors were mutual of Omaha!! Would hear of omaha a lot of various things!! TJ I'm with you on snakes!! I know they're beneficial I'm very scared of them!! Once visiting Tulsa zoo the display of a big rattlesnake,couldn't see a snake,only a skin,& in the dark cave area where display was sure made me nervous!! My brother teased me! Then when we went out there was a snake skin in the garden area outside the cave! Brother teased me about that!!
We have lived in Omaha for 15 years, this is our home, we raised our kids here. So glad you stopped and experienced our great city. Our zoo is one of the top in the US. Come back to visit. Covid has made it difficult, I’m sure you know. It did snow! Then we went on to have more amazing weather. Come back during the College World Series, it’s a blast! Safe travels.
I have driven under the museum many times, but never stopped. Next time we will have to include it in our plans. Also, we have never stopped in Omaha. You changed that also. I am a Nebraska native and enjoy going back to relive my childhood.
We had no idea Nebraska had so much to offer. And to think we drove right under that bridge and straight thru the state. You two did an awesome job filming the experience
I passed you near Grand Island, NE just after you left Kearney. As a truck driver I don't get to see the sights, but after your last 3 videos, NE is added to the bucket list.
I have passed under the archway several times and never stopped. I always wondered what was there and now that you have posted it, I will definitely stop the next time. Thanks. FYI: It's Canada geese, not Canadian geese.
Great video guys, Brie it was so nice to meet you by chance at Walnut Creek campground. We were the couple in the Jeep looking for a spot. We ended up camping in Lincoln, Ne. Thank you for doing such a nice job talking about Nebraska!
I've been to the Archway there on I-80. It is a fascinating look at the westward movement as our country expanded west, but also about "how" we traveled/travel, and the changes over time in doing so. I hope to visit it again and take it all in once again!
Thank you for sharing your visit to Omaha, due to Covid I didn't get back home this year (we moved to Arizona 4 years ago) and am very homesick, your visit helped me get a glimpse of home.
My friend sent me a link to your travels, and I enjoyed the Nebraska travels a lot. I will be hopefully taking time to follow you on the rest of your journey.
Thanks for visiting and saying such nice thing about Nebraska. The desert dome is my favorite. There's always a little bird of some kind walking around with the people.
Henry Doorly Zoo is currently the nation's best zoo. I hope you didn't miss the night time part of the desert dome.. its awesome. If you see and take time at that zoo it takes 1.5-2 days and they are constantly building on. They also have a drive thru zoo around Ashland Nebraska between Omaha and Lincoln.
RU-vid recommended your video. We live near Walnut Creek (PAPILLION NE), where you camped. You did a wonderful job with Omaha and Kearney. I’m now a subscriber and will share with family and friends😀
Thanks for the look at Omaha. I was born in Nebraska, Grand Island, and we lived, for the most part, in NW Missouri very close to the Nebraska state line. We would cross the Missouri River at Rulo Nebraska to visit family in NE Kansas. They charged a toll of 15 cents to cross the bridge if I remember correctly in the early 60’s then raised it to 25 cents. I can’t say I have never been to Omaha but I think it will be on my list for this spring or early summer. Thanks for letting people know it’s more than just one big corn field!
Bre is the BEST at videography and the selection of music with the choreography of the video is superb. We wait with anticipation each week to watch their videos.
We have stayed at Walnut Creek RV also. It is a small urban campground, but it is so close to everything. The lake is pretty good fishing too. The snakes at the zoo don't bother me near as much as the free flying bats in the Lied jungle exhibit.
As an Omaha-ite, and as someone who went to college in Kearmey, you did it justice. BTW, we are heading to Scottsbluff, this summer, and your guide of the Monument was great! If you're ever in Omaha, again, stop by! LOL
Next time through Nebraska, try the Sand Hills Crane Migration between Kearny and Grand Island! The 3rd largest migration in the world! There are millions of sand hill cranes!! Really millions! Your mouth will drop! It is worth coming back! Thanks for such a good review of Omaha. Best place to raise a family!!
The omaha zoo is also the largest zoo in the world with the most species in the world, largest indoor desert in the world and the largest aquarium in the world. Thanks for visiting Nebraska
Omaha native here. I'm glad you found our little city enjoyable (: I have passed under the Kearney bridge a bunch of times, but have never gone into the museum, because we are always in a hurry when we're on a road trip lol.
We found your channel a few days ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed every video we have watched. We love that you incorporate history in your content. Your videos are awesome, and definitely some of the best on RU-vid. Thank you for your wonderful channel. Happy New Year, and safe travels.
We certainly won't pass under that museum again without stopping. It looks extremely interesting and very well done. Ya'll do such a great job of finding and sharing unique, often overlooked, places to explore. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I'm a born and bred Nebraskan......Bennington area specifically, and honestly i started tearing up reading the comments. I haven't traveled much, but I've allways known i live somewhere completely underestimated.
Since you don't like rattle snakes. Its a good thing you did not get off the path at Scott's Buff monument that you visited earlier. Rattle snakes are very common in the western 1/2 of Nebraska.
What an awesome video you guys. This is home for me, but I retired to Ecuador so this tugged at my heart. And yes The Zoo is one of the best in the world. Next time you visit stay the northern route thru the husker state. A whole differant feel, beautiful up there. Thanks for the memories enjoy the RV life.
I live in Louisville KY near Cincy. I lived for 14 years in Kansas City for 14 years before I moved. I have been to both zoos, and you are right, it us hard to say which is better. Those 2 zoo's and I would add San Diego zoo to my top 3 zoo's I have been to so far. I want to see the Columbus zoo in OH. Love walking around seeing the animals and getting Nathan's Hotdogs for lunch and snack. LOL Great video.
Glad you liked Omaha.I have lived here for about 35 years and have always thought it was one of the nicest towns I have been in.The food scene here is amazing and gets better every year it seems.You probably would have enjoyed the duram western heritage museum it is about a block from the old market.and if you are into art the joselyn museum is in that general part of town also.Things are kinda wound down here right now with corona and all but the old market gets pretty busy during the warmer part of the year.
Thanks for sharing about that museum that goes over 80! We’ve driven past it several times. Now we need to come back and stop! And Omaha - who would have known. We flew into Omaha for my nieces graduation in Lincoln, NE several years ago but never had time to do anything while we were there. So, seeing your video adds a few more things to our bucket list for Omaha! I hope you saw the zoo at Lincoln as well when you went there. We visited that a few times. And a trip to Lincoln is never complete without eating pizza from Valentino’s! Safe travels. Hope you are having a nice holiday season with family.
Hope you had a great time in Omaha I live here and I'm so glad you got to see our zoo!! Much love from Cornhusker Nation!! You definitely need to come back for CWS and summer festivities the Omaha Food Fest The Summer Arts Festival and in fall the Valas Pumpkin Patch!!
Thanks for coming to nebraska! It was interesting to see what you activities you chose and what your opinions on nebraska were. I used to live in southwest nebraska and now live in the omaha area. You guys make great videos. Keep it up
Honestly going to be a video I show people when my out of state friend ask what Omaha/Nebraska is all about! Also the zoo is ranked top 3 in the WORLD basically every year for the past 2 decades!
I'm so glad you went to the Archway in Kearney that's a great museum. I live in Eastern Nebraska close to Omaha and the Henry Dorley Zoo is a world class zoo. Hope you took a little time to check out the Wildlife Safari Park & Mahoney State Park near Ashland. Also Indian Cave State Park south of Nebraska City is another awesome park to visit. Love hearing your compliments about our state glad you're having a good time! 🌵🦎🐍🦂🐒🦍🦁🐯🐆🦓🐪🦒🦙🐘🦏🦛🦔🐻🦘🐧🦚🦆🐊🐢🐟🐠🐡🦈🍁🍂❤
Hi new here! We have been living in our TT for 3 years and 2 years of it was in Omaha, NE. Winters sucked there though. Never went to that museum. Thank you for sharing and we are excited that we ran across yalls channel. - Jay & Jessica -
