Indianapolis Zoo located in White River State Park

1200 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46222 | view on map
317-630-2001
info@indyzoo.com
www.indianapoliszoo.com

The Indianapolis Zoo (one of the nation's Top 10, according to TripAdvisor) includes over 350 different animal species on its nearly 70 acres.

The zoo's Oceans exhibit features the world's largest shark touch tank; while the Dolphin Adventure offers the world's first totally submerged dolphin viewing experience (and, if you pre-register, an opportunity to climb into the tank).

The Indianapolis Zoo complex also includes a 3.3-acre garden, which features hundreds of plant varieties; which, when you think about it, is just a zoo with more chlorophyll.

In addition to exhibiting and breeding animals, the Indianapolis Zoo contributes to zoology by awarding an annual cash award of $100,000 to individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to conservation efforts. Known as the Indianapolis Prize, it is the world's leading award for animal conservation.

Parking costs $6.
