What a fun experience! The giraffe exhibit is amazing! So fun to watch and feed them! With their long tongues sticking out! Also the play area with the monkeys...so fun! We could have stayed in there for hours!! They have really done a great job revamping! Love it!

A smaller zoo than Omaha, which was a good thing in my opinion. Plenty of exhibits and gorgeous animals to see. My daughter had a great time! We will go again when it gets warmer. The zoo's new baby giraffe was on exhibit in the giraffe barn, and oh so beautiful!

Affordable family fun that’s also educational! There are a lot of different types of animals with displays that are informative but also simple enough for kids. The train is always a good time, and there are many playgrounds around. Cool off in the water near the giraffes. Get a tasty snack. Free parking is a nice bonus. Go check it out!

The Lincoln Children's Zoo is an incredibly well thought out and designed place. While not as massive as the Omaha or San Diego zoos, Lincoln's zoo has just about every species we wanted to see. We were impressed by the variety of animals, well marked loops, informative yet concise signage for each animal, and gobs of playgrounds for kids and matching benches for adults. Mynpersonal favorite was the air conditioned indoor playground next to the spider monkeys.

Love the new additions! The Secret Jungle was a perfect place to sit back enjoy the Mill coffee served next door, watch the kids enjoy the air conditioned indoor playground where you can see spider monkeys! Everyone had a blast!
