In International Zoo Yearbook 20, I read: Lincoln Municipal Zoo (1300 S 27th Street, Lincoln, 68502 NE), and Children´s Zoo (2800 A Street, Lincoln, NE 68502).
¿Are there, or were there, really 2 differents zoos in Lincoln, NE?.
I have also the following address: Folsom Children´s Zoo, 1222 South 27 Street, Lincoln, NE 68502.
And Antelope Park Zoo, Lincoln, NE (actually closed).

There were two, now there's one. What's really odd is that the two zoos were right next to each other. There was the Folsom Children's Zoo, which is still there. (The entrance was moved from A Street to 27th Street, which is why you see a different address for the "Children's Zoo" than you do for "Folsom Children's Zoo.")

The other zoo was the Antelope Park Zoo. It consisted of a building with indoor exhibits and a few outdoor exhibits. The building is still there, right next to the Children's Zoo's parking lot, but now it houses the Lincoln Indoor Playground.
