The Indianapolis Zoo combines animal exhibits and conservation interpretation in a substantial visitor destination near downtown.

Its program includes changing seasonal activities as well as the regular opportunity to explore the zoo’s animal areas.
Plan using the current zoo map, date-specific tickets and visitor information. Animal visibility, demonstrations and outdoor experiences depend on care schedules and conditions, while seasonal events have their own times. The photograph shows the zoo’s identifying entrance. This listing covers the zoo destination rather than adding a second record for White River Gardens within the same visit. Confirm particular experiences before making them the focus of your day.
