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!

Lincoln Children's Zoo is definitely a great place to go with the little ones. Very up close encounters with many of the animals. Giraffe feeding is really cool. The layout of the zoo is beautiful and there are plenty of places for the kids to play. An indoor and outdoor playground We went in December and there were still plenty of animals out. However it was about 45 degrees. Overall Id recommend coming here with the kids and family

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.
