Indianapolis Zoo
Wild adventures await you at the Indianapolis Zoo! Located in White River State Park, the Indianapolis Zoo is the only attraction of its kind accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums as a zoo, an aquarium, and a botanical garden. What began many years ago as a children’s zoo has grown into a facility that seeks to inspire communities to celebrate, protect, and preserve the animals and plants of the world.
Explore the simulated natural habitats sheltering the large array of animal residents that call the Indianapolis Zoo home. From the oceans to the deserts to the forests and plains, there are animals from every corner of the earth. Discover interesting and fun facts about dolphins, rhinos, bears, amphibians and more. The Oceans exhibit includes the largest shark touch tank and as well as close encounters with sea lions, penguins and polar bears. You can also hand feed giraffes and touch an elephant or take the kids on the family coaster and the endangered species carousel – it’s the zoo that delivers fun to children and adults alike!
Be sure to include time to stroll the beautiful White River Gardens, a 3.3-acre landmark featuring over one thousand plant varieties and special displays throughout the year. Visit the gardens to gain inspiration and ideas for your own garden or just simply wander the pathways to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.
