Since 1965, the Lincoln Children’s Zoo has served as a place where families could come and learn about animals, interact with nature, and have fun. The zoo is different from others in that it is designed specifically for kids, with lots of activities and events that afford visitors the opportunity to get up close and personal with the animal residents of the zoo. On the animal encounter stage, kids can have the opportunity to interact with animals like a porcupine, an African serval, a chameleon, an armadillo, a macaw parrot, and so many others. The Lincoln Children’s Zoo is home to over 400 animals and runs lots of camps and events designed specifically for kids so they can learn about these marvelous creatures.
