Enjoy the Zoos and Aquariums Indianapolis Has to Offer

By Abbey Garrison


When on the hunt for Zoos in Indianapolis, there's no need to look further than the Indianapolis Zoo which is home to a beautiful botanical garden, a special sea water aquarium which is home to a collection on dolphins, seals, and sea lions, and a big collection of excellent animals on display in their natural habitats. Special zoo tours and journeys, that accommodate only 4 guests at a time, provide intimate experiences with zoo animals.

Indianapolis Zoo Research

The Indianapolis Zoo is responsible for preservation and conservation of different types of endengered animals. Being an active participant in Cooperative Animal Management Programs, a visit to this zoo will give to you an understanding of the importance to take care of our animals.

White River Gardens

One of the most wonderful attractions at the zoo in Indianapolis is the 3.3 acre White River Gardens which is split into 5 parts, the design gardens, the sun garden, the shade garden, the water garden and the wedding garden. Inside the White River Gardens there is a huge glass closed area - about five thousand square feet - displaying exotic plants and foliage, water and a pond with fish.

Elephant Bathing Adventure

While in the Indianapolis Zoo, you and yor family have to chance to bathe the largest animal on the planet: the elephant. The Elephant Bathing Adventure is one of the top attractions that you can find at the zoo in Indianapolis.

Adventure Tours

The Adventure Tours at the Indianapolis Zoo takes visitors in the backstage to meet the animals close up, learn all about the care and feeding of the animals, and a backstage look from on stage at the Dolphin Shows. The Adventure Tours is a guided tour by an Expedition Guide and has a map and necessary info for the tour.

Dolphin In-Water Adventure

The Indianapolis aquarium for Dolphins at the Indianapolis Zoo is allowed by the organization and Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums (AMMPA). The Dolphin In-Water Adventure is a chance for Indianapolis aquarium guests to suit up in a wet suit, after attending a short class, and get into a big sea water pool with dolphins. A lot of the journey teaches guests about feeding, signaling dolphins to perform movements, and pro-active interaction one-to-one with a dolphin.

Seal, Sea Lion, or Walrus Art Adventure

Can a sea lion, seal, or walrus actually paint? The pinnipeds at the Indianapolis Zoo Seal, Sea Lion, or Walrus Art Adventure do. Experience one of those incredible creatures personally as you learn about the pinnipeds and its fascinating lifestyle. Participators are invited to choose the color palette to be used by the pinnipeds to color a totally unique painting for you to take home as a souvenir.
