Spend the night at the Lincoln Children's Zoo

Spend the night at the Zoo!

Come see the Zoo in a different light ...or no light at all!

The fun begins at 7:00pm and ends the following morning at 9:00am. Included in all of our overnights is the NightCrawlers Hike, a chance to hear the sounds and see the sights of the Zoo at night. We also provide the opportunity for close encounters with a variety of small critter encounter animals. Zoo games and crafts are also possible. Usually lights-out occurs between 11:30pm and midnight.

The fee is $25 per person, with a minimum of $350 required. This includes pizza and pop, and a continental breakfast in the morning.

A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your date. The balance is due the night of the overnight. Overnights are held throughout the year on Friday and Saturday nights, but some topics are only available seasonally.

Bring a sleeping bag , a flashlight, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. We'll create an evening for you to remember!

Lincoln Children's Zoo September Events Thu, 9/3/2009 - 5:08 PM — rudy

The Zoo is still open daily 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM through October 15th.

September means cooler weather and a perfect time to experience the animals at the Lincoln Children's Zoo and to also join in the fun. The Z.O.&O. train runs daily, and the ponies are galloping daily as well. There are 11 AM and 3 PM seal demonstrations.

Here are some fun events at the zoo in September.

 

  • This Saturday is the first Nebraska home football game which begins at 6 p.m.  That gives you plenty of time to visit the Zoo.  Bring in your Nebraska football ticket for the same day on Saturday and receive $2 off admission OR $1 off a train ride.  We open at 10 a.m. and close at 5 p.m.
  • We will be open on Monday, Labor Day, again the same hours 10 to 5.  
  • Clean out your garages or spare bedrooms of electronic equipment such as old computers and monitors.  Saturday, Sept. 12, is Recycle Electronics Day, at the Zoo, beginning at 8 a.m.  Bring in old computers and monitors that will be recycled.  There will be a fee of $10 for monitors brought in by themselves.  Any other old electronic equipment, microwaves, clocks, you-name-it, will also be accepted.  You know it’s all outdated.  Why keep it?
  •  Senior Mondays starting Sept. 14.  Free admission for persons 62 plus.  The Zoo is partnering with Home Instead Senior Care this year.  Take a stroll or a roll (ha ha – too tacky, but funny) through the Zoo this fall.  Enjoy the animals and the lovely foliage.
  •    September 8th is the final day for Laura's Butterfly Pavilion!!!!! 

The Lincoln Children’s Zoo was established 44 years ago. One of only four children’s zoos in the country, the Lincoln Children’s Zoo’s mission is “to enrich lives through firsthand interaction with living things.” Recently, Parent Magazine ranked the zoo among the top 25 zoos for kids. The Zoo continues to create an engaging environment for children in our community, while receiving no financial support from the city, county or the state.
