A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Lincoln Children’s Zoo provides families with the opportunity to learn firsthand about the natural world. Our mission is to enrich lives through firsthand interaction with living things and the continued support we receive from the community allows us to fulfill that mission.
Lincoln Children’s Zoo creates memorable, educational, and enriching experiences for children of all ages. Whether taking a ride on the ZO&O Railroad, feeding a giraffe, climbing a 25’ play structure, or learning about animals from all over the world, The Zoo is a place for children and families to connect and have fun.
Along with creating fun and educational experiences, the Zoo is also committed to animal conservation efforts and saving animals from extinction. Home to over 40 species categorized as vulnerable or near-extinction, such as the Sumatran tiger and Matschie’s tree kangaroo, the Zoo is committed to preserving and protecting animals for future generations.
With more than 400 animals in our care, it costs approximately $13,000 each day to operate Lincoln Children’s Zoo. Your contribution supports education, conservation, animal care programs and meets the Zoo’s most urgent needs.
