About this activity

Why spend all that time and money traveling around the world to see all the different animals our planet has, when you can just visit Lincoln Children's Zoo - where the animals of the world come to you!

Lincoln Children's Zoo is where kids can explore over 350 animals up-close and personal, and have amazing animal encounters. Not only that, they can meet over 40 animals that are on the endangered list, which means they get an invaluable education too as they learn all about why we should be protecting them!

Are you excited to hear all about the animals at Lincoln Children's Zoo? Perhaps you might be looking to meet your favorites, such as the Llama, or Galapagos Tortoise, or the Dromedary Camel? Or perhaps you might be looking to meet creatures you have never heard of before, such as the White-Handed Gibbon, or the Fossa!

Let's not forget about those creatures in the Animal Kingdom section, where you can watch the cheeky Panther Chameleon at work, or the adorable Golden Lion Tamarin play! Are you feeling brave? Then head on over to look at the Boas, Pythons, and even Tarantula!

Don't miss a trip to the aviary too, where those colorful birds are waiting, from the Snowy Egret to the Scarlet Ibis. Even the names sound pretty!

Think the Lincoln Children's Zoo is JUST about the animals? Nope! Did you know that kids can actually enjoy horse rides at the zoo, as well as a train ride? Choo Choo - sounds amazing!

So are you ready for a WILD time in Nebraska's capital, where the animals are waiting for you, and the fun has already started!
