ALASKAN ADVENTURE - HENRY DOORLY ZOO
Been to Alaska? How about Nebraska? Alaskan Adventure (in Nebraska) is a unique bronze sculpture exhibit featuring delightful water features
designed in the shapes of an 18 ft. high humpback whale breaching out of the ocean, three frolicking orcas whales, 15 sea lions, a
brown bear, 30 salmon, and more!
The exhibit features dancing waters through sprays and spouts and over 85 bronze sculptures created by artist, Matthew Placzek. The
spraying water is managed through computerized controls, systematically spraying a mix of water and air through nozzles arranged
around the sculptures to simulate the water effects made by the animals as they breech, porpoise, splash, spray water from their
blowholes and emerge from or dive into the ocean.
A whale’s tail is a separate sculpture and is 16 feet wide and eight feet tall with water flowing from the edge as it appears to submerge
for a deep dive. Misting nozzles and native Alaskan landscape surround the exhibit to truly allow zoo guests to feel like they are in Alaska.
