While the zoo does not offer wheelchair or mobility scooter hire, visitors are able to bring their own mobility aids and navigate the site comfortably due to its flat layout.

Lincoln Zoo provides discounted admission for visitors with disabilities, with proof required on arrival. The zoo also offers a welcoming environment for visitors with autism, encouraging quieter visits during weekdays and providing support from staff where needed.

Due to biosecurity and animal welfare considerations, assistance dogs and emotional support animals are not permitted within the zoo grounds. However, they are allowed in designated areas such as the car park, courtyard, toilets, and tearoom.

Families are well catered for, with baby-friendly facilities including a microwave for warming food, breastfeeding-friendly spaces, and support from staff for additional needs.
