Martin Luther King Jr. Day
"Life's most persistent and
urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
 A
special thanks to everyone who visited the Zoo on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
and donated a canned good item. In all, we collected more than 2,600 food
items for Gleaners' Food Bank.
Service and community were central themes in the teachings of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. In that spirit, guests are invited each year to join the
Indianapolis Zoo as we celebrate his life and
accomplishments. Along
with our other partners in
White River State Park, admission to the Zoo is
free on this day with the donation of a canned food item for Gleaner's Food Bank (minimum
donation of one item per person).
Although the Zoo is usually closed on
Mondays in January, weather permitting, it will be our privilege to open our
gates on
this day to those with a generous heart. You'll not only enjoy a special visit to the Zoo but
also a special feeling of
helping our community. Our hardier animals will be out to enjoy the
day, including sea lions, tigers, polar bear, walrus and more. Plus the
Zoo's indoor exhibits — Oceans, Deserts and Dolphin Dome — will be open as
well.
