We were in Manitowoc for the day for Al’s class reunion. It wasn’t until evening so we went to Lincoln Park Zoo for a few hours.
Admission is free but donations are gratefully accepted here.
The walk through the zoo was fun, and the animals looked well cared for, many were taking a nap when we were there 🙂
Scattered throughout the grounds are footprints of many animals on concrete squares. Great idea!
The zoo also has a fish hatchery dedicated to Dean H. Heili, a man dedicated to preserving Great Lakes sport fishing. He also invented the diving plane for lures.
In the structure is a monitor linked to an underwater camera so you can see the fish. It also gives water temp. Sorry, it is difficult to photograph.
A beautiful gazebo too.
There also is a platform overlooking a wetland, you might be lucky enough to see a crane or heron here!
A look at some of the other animals here.
We went into the Education and Animal Care building last. In here are reptile exhibits and an aviary.
