Sam grew up in the neighborhood and as a young paperboy, he would sneak to there with his sister and get ice cream with his earnings in between deliveries. lol! So it doesn't have as many unique flavor options as Ivanna Cone, but it's one of those time-tested and well-loved places. ;)

We love the Lincoln zoo so much that we've gotten a pass the last 2 years. Granted, it's nowhere near what the Omaha zoo is. It's small in comparison for sure and not great if you want to go see a huge variety of super unique animals. But our young kids LOVE it because they have a great mix of animals and places to play all intermixed.
