The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha stakes claim to a couple of “world’s largest” titles. The dome structure houses the world’s largest indoor desert as well as “Kingdoms of the Night”, the world’s largest nocturnal exhibit. The zoo also has the world’s second largest free-flight aviary. This zoo map is rotated 90° but should help you identify the various areas, including the “Elephant and Rhino” pen to the east. Do you think any of those pixels are an elephant?

A little to the west is the very colourful Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium which is the home of the College World Series. The 2005 College World Series runs June 17-27 and will be the tournament’s 59th year.
