    This is a fun LITTLE place to visit, maybe while you are doing other things in the area. The tanks are clean and show a great variety of our local fish and there are exhibits that show the local wildlife and information about them. Not all kids would love it here, but if you have a little nature freak, it would be a fun place to go.

    I have started coming here instead of the chain pet supply stores for a few reasons:…read more 1. Their staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable about all the products AND the fish/aquatic life they sell. This is important as many of the chain stores have little knowledge about the animals they sell and it results in the fish dying without proper care. 2. They have a great selection of high quality products for tanks, if you have questions about the products they can always answer them for you and figure out what would be best for your tank. 3. It is ALWAYS clean, the floors are clean, the tanks are clean, it smells like an aquatic store but it doesn't smell bad. This is important for the overall well being of the animals! I highly recommend coming here for your aquatic needs!

    This store is such a wonderful addition to the Omaha area!! My boyfriend had mentioned he had seen…read morethis store one day and we hoped we could stop by soon. We had recently become betta fish parents and we want to learn how to be the best parents we can! Our Betta is about two months in at our home and we had started getting a real algae problem. Some of our plants started to get weird and junk so we pulled them out. We were geared up to get some new plants, a siphon tool to help us clean and change out the water, and of course learn more about how we can maintain a great aquarium for our fish. We happened to be off the same day so we made the trek over to Rivers and Reefs! Walking in was as if you were walking into the most intentional fish store I've experienced. The tanks were of differing sizes with various fish, plants, and decor inside the tank for the fish communities. There were salt water fish and fresh water fish. I loved seeing the crates beneath the aquariums with various rocks, driftwood, wood, and other aquarium decor we can purchase. Each crate was easily marked with the price per pound. I also loved that they had a few betta fish in large tanks with plants and other fish. The bettas looked happy and big!! It was such a nice thing to see after seeing so many bettas looking sad in those small cups at other pet stores. We were greeted by the employees there in a timely manner and one of them came over to help us as we decided what algae eater we should get and what plants would be good to add to our aquarium. The employee was incredibly friendly and helpful. She was patient with our questions and seemed very knowledgeable. We decided on a small clown pleco to add to our aquarium and a few plants that will hopefully take nicely and continue to grow. Once we got home we got to changing the water and getting it pretty clean. We got our pleco acclimated and now he's been cruising down below while Betta keeps enjoying his tank! We know we will definitely keep coming back to this store for all of our fish and aquarium needs. It felt less intimidating than other stores and the staff is incredibly helpful!

You can spend all day there and still come back next time to try new activities, such as the train, the sky lift, or the stingray touch tank. We were lucky enough to witness the beavers being fed. The facilities are all well-maintained, intentional, and clean. Refreshments and meals are available for purchase, in addition to rest areas in the shade. Overall a great time, so be prepared to go up against many strollers and screaming kids, but that comes with the territory. Glad parents are getting their children out and in immersive learning experiences over iPads!

    I really hate to say it, but this zoo was overwhelming and not in a good way. If you visit, avoid…read morethe summer heat if you can help it and the holiday weekend. Because the sun was blazing, it didn't help wading through CROWDS and CROWDS of families. Parking is insane by the way! Brace yourself for how intense it can get to just get a spot closer. Even with a plan in place, a cooler of cold drinks, fans with misters and hats, WOOF this was a rough one. Did we see animals - yes! There was actually two indoor spaces to see the giraffes and elephants up close! There was a tram, a skylift, and train but we didn't partake. We saw two sleeping lions, lots of zebras, turtles! And then we stopped wanting to be outside under the sun. If you must go in the summer, just see the monkeys because they are inside! Go see Desert Dome because it is climate controlled! Go to the aquarium, but... expect the tons of tourists to block every view. Oh - the best perk was they have DOLE WHIP by the orangutans! Also - as a person who has a free zoo back home, spending close to $100 for our family of 3 was hard to swallow.
