Indianapolis Zoo, Indianapolis

We love the zoo! Our youngest kids hadn’t got to go so we decided to go spend the day yesterday and we had a great time! The only part that wasn’t so great was the forest, the only animals out were the birds. We know it was probably due to the new exhibit coming so no big deal. We will still be back! It was completely packed but we still got through in good time! Our kids loved the monkey and the elephants! We got to see all our favorite animals and everyone really enjoyed it! It’s worth the money you spend to have the fun with the family!

Nice. Not overwhelming huge..but big enough...about 3 to 4 hours to see everything.... Lots of parking...and handicap spaces.. Lots of helpful friendly employees. Loved the dolphin show.. And a demonstration of macaws..beautiful birds.. Lots of big animals...elephants, giraffe, zebra, tiger, lion, cheetah... Variety of colorful birds...and reptiles.. Very nicely laid out..use a map....lots of restrooms...very clean and maintained.. Several choices of getting something to eat or drink stands..and outdoor tables with umbrellas..some inside eating too. Not included in your entrance price..is a mini roller coaster. A gondola ride over the orangutan outdoor enclosure...also fantastic view of the city skyline..its quite a high ride..but goes slowly. And a train around the zoo...(my opinion...i wouldn't waste my extra $$ to to ride it...just went by the back lot..zoo maintenance..weeds....didn't see any animals..just a train ride) And a carousel for the kids.. Overall..quite an enjoyable day.. And gift shop..
