Jenner’s Zoological, Educational, and Amusement Park was created by Henry Jenner and his brother, Robert Bond Jenner, young Englishmen who left London for Nebraska in the 1880s and became early pioneers of the area. Originally built about 1900 as a playground for Henry Jenner’s children, it grew into an elaborate amusement park, zoo, and museum with a dancing pavilion and baseball field. Its rides included the Ocean Wave, the Giant Stride, and the Snake Swing, and it also featured numerous games, an outdoor theater, and notable plants, landscaping, and architecture. The zoo housed native and exotic animals ranging from buffaloes and African tortoises to coyotes and monkeys, while the Mummy House and museum displayed artifacts gathered from around the world by the Jenner brothers, including several mummies. Large crowds came on opening day, Independence Day, and during the Fall Harvest Festival, and the park attracted thousands of visitors from across the state before closing in 1942. The park area was annexed by Loup City in 1972.
