Lincoln Park Zoo is a small municipal zoo located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The zoo has just under 200 animals, including black bear, bald eagle, cougar, lynx and others.[1] It is situated along the Little Manitowoc River and provides a deck for viewing ducks, geese, and many other birds that gather along the river.
The Lincoln Park Zoo's Big Red Barn was built in 2000 with the support of the Manitowoc County Farm Bureau and Manitowoc County Dairy Promotions.[2] The barn is located on the north end of the zoo. The Big Red Barn is home to a variety of young farm animals, on loan from local farmers. Chickens, goats, cows, lop-eared rabbits, pigs and turkeys are housed at the barn.
The Zoo's Education Center is located on the second floor of the Education and Animal Care Building and is home to Wisconsin native reptiles, insects, amphibians, fish and birds. The Education Center features animals such as the African spurred tortoise, Ball pythons, Box turtles, Chilean rose tarantula, honeybees, and Cedar waxwing.
