When Gena Shafer and her family walked through the front gates of the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha on Thursday, she had no idea the celebration about to happen. Shafer, the Rapid City, SD. woman, became the Zoo’s millionth visitor in 2015.

The family entered the Zoo at 9:36 A.M. as part of their vacation. It was their children's first time at the Henry Doorly Zoo.

The Shafer's received a complimentary membership to Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium gift basket, all day ride wristbands, a gift card to spend at the Zoo, and a Zoo tour unlike any other, according to staff.
