Work Where You Make a Wild Impact

Every Lincoln Children's Zoo employee is guided by four core values: dependability, enthusiasm, humility, and a drive to consistently exceed expectations. Whether their work is visible to the public or behind the scenes, each staff member plays an important role in supporting our mission to enrich lives through firsthand interaction with living things. 

Why the Zoo?

The Lincoln Children’s Zoo is more than a destination. We are a place where people connect with wildlife, with one another, and with experiences they will never forget. Our employees play an important role in creating those moments. Their dedication helps inspire curiosity, fosters conservation, and ensures every guest feels welcomed, valued, and excited to return.

Animal conservation is the reason behind everything we do at the Zoo. Home to over 30 endangered animals, the Zoo strives to provide the highest-quality care to these near extinct species. Lincoln Children’s Zoo partners with organizations throughout the world to create a plan to ensure endangered animals are saved and protected for future generations. The Zoo is part of the Association of Zoos & Aquarium’s Species Survival Plan, which oversees the management of select species with the goal of enhancing conservation in the wild.
