Day 14: America’s Best Zoo

Since our motel was actually very nice and comfortable, we decided to take a break from traveling and just went to the zoo. Nebraska happens to have the US’s best zoo according to TripAdvisor. It’s not even finished and it is just immense. They have an indoor desert dome and an indoor rain forest. The rain forest was big enough that you could start to forget you were in a zoo. We got to see all manner of animals and they seemed to be doing well for the most part. I even got to pet a sting ray for the first time (see video below). They were oddly cute.

Check out the video. Chris’s slow motion mode on the iPhone 6 is truly impressive toward the end with the butterfly shots:
