Review:
Children are never satisfied just to watch animals. They want to pet them, play with them, feed them and become friends with them. The Lincoln Children's Zoo is designed to provide that experience. The zoo is a10-acrehome to almost 400 animals, about 40 of which are endangered. By far the most popular activity in the zoo is The Animal Encounter Stage, where kids, and their parents, can get really close to many animals and their keepers, and learn about them and their habitat.
There are four shows a day with over 20 animals that rotate during the day, so the kids can meet Apollo the Bobcat, Fez the Armadillo, Renzo the Porcupine, Scout the Owl, ZanDaam the Boa Constrictor, Elliot the Macaw, Crosby the Two-Toed Sloth, Calvin the baby Alligator, Liv the Wallaby and others.The zoo has a range of programs and hosts activities with local schools and children's hospitals all over the country.
