Exhibits

There is so much to see and do at the Lincoln Children's Zoo. Below is a list of our most popular learn firsthand areas that feature a wide variety of animals. Come explore with us!

	Firsthand Farm The experience of having a tall llama eat out of your hand or touching a small goat is a memory that stays with our visitors for years to come.
	Laura's Butterfly Pavilion This popular exhibit was renovated in 2008 into a permanent oasis for these winged works of art. All ages enjoy spending time trying to get a butterfly to land on their finger.
	Critter Encounter Visit with members of our ZooCrew as you learn more about these cute and fuzzy animals. Every hour a new animal is brought out to greet our visitors. Who knows, you may touch a tenrec, a dove, a guinea pig and much more. This exhibit is open on the weekends until summer vacation begins and then it is open daily.
	Bug Buddies Our Bug Buddy exhibit is crawling with fun! In this air-conditioned building you will find terrariums filled with a variety of arthropods, from our backyard and around the world, including millipedes, centipedes, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, tarantulas, scorpions, just to name a few. See who is the bravest in your group by holding one of these crawling creatures.
	Stego's Big Dig Become an archeologist as you thrill for the hunt of buried bones. Once the bones are uncovered, learn more about that important part of the body from our Paleo Pals.
