Sightseeing
This zoo is usually ranked top 3 zoo in the nation. My favorite is the desert dome, which is man made enclose that mimics the Sonoran desert in Arizona. You will see birds flying around and mammals on fake cliffs. If you are to do this in one day, I recommend taking the train and the lift.

Traveler advice
Ways to save
Joselyn Museum is free admission
If you want to visit our museum, the admission is free unless you want to see their rotating exhibit.
Getting around
I have never taken public transit
Typical means of getting around is taking Uber or Lyft if you are going out. Otherwise, having a car is really helpful.
