ATTRACTION ADMISSION DESCRIPTION Indianapolis Zoo (located in White River State Park) 1200 W. Washington Street Indianapolis, IN 46222

Located downtown in White River State Park, the Indianapolis Zoo is a 64-acre accredited zoo, aquarium, and botanical garden. Approximately 250 species totaling 2,000 animals and 2,000 varieties of plants are presented together in simulated natural habitats. As visitors travel through the zoo, they go from one fascinating ecological system to another, and they begin to get a sense of appreciation for the diversity of life. Because many people will never have the opportunity to visit an African Savannah or an Asian temperate forest, the zoo immerses guests into these natural environments. For example: touch sharks, race a cheetah, view dolphins from more than 10 feet under water, feed birds as they rest on your shoulder, or elevate yourself into the arboreal world of orangutans. From the arctic land of the penguins and polar bear near the front of the zoo to the realm of the kings of the beasts—the majestic African lions—near the far end, a visit to the Indianapolis Zoo is literally a trip around the world!
