Experience up close-up encounters with some exotic animals at the Indianapolis Zoo. This local zoo houses animals from around the world and offers exciting experiences such as dolphin in-water adventures, Animal Art Adventures and more.
This year, the zoo unveiled an exhibit featuring red kangaroos native to Australia. Visitors are allowed to walk through large open areas without any barriers or fencing so you can get up close and personal with these adorable animals!
The Zoo offers many special events throughout the year to keep guests engaged. These include Christmas at the Zoo in November and December, as well as Zoobilation – a winter wonderland.
