The Wilsons went to the Lincoln Children's Zoo last night, and we had a blast. The zoo looks very, very different than it did when I was a kid, but I think it has evolved nicely. If I have one complaint it's that it doesn't seem like there is as much animal diversity as there used to be. But (1) I'm not sure if that's actually true, and (2) seen through a child's eyes, I'm not sure that it's a problem. There are certainly plenty of things for kids to do.
The Lincoln Children's Zoo is a gem, and I'm very proud that it's a part of our community. I have been to several zoos around the country, and none of them have a section for small kids that compares to the Lincoln Children's Zoo. Have any of you been to a zoo that either in whole or in part compares favorably to the Lincoln Children's Zoo? Where?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I agree - the Children’s Zoo and Children’s Museum are both hidden gems in Lincoln. In the past few years I have visited the equivalent locations in a number of cities with my daughter, all of them larger than Lincoln, and found ours to be far better.
We became zoo members this year and i thin my 4 year old could visit weekly and never tire of it. Well designed and planned for the youngsters.
Kudos!
The annual zoo membership is a deal - it will save you half of admission at Omaha and get you into many other zoos around the country for free or reduced prices. If you go as a family 2 or 3 times, it will most likely pay for itself. Also, it makes it easier to get into Boo at the Zoo at Halloween, which I highly recommend for the young’ns.
