TESTIMONIALS
I love the Indy zoo. The tigers come right up to the viewing glass. The dolphin dome is amazing. Many of the exhibits do not have walls, for example the Macaws and the butterfly exhibit. There are training feeding times that bring the animals like the cheetahs right up to the glass.

This place is kid friendly, even for small children! We took our 11 month old there and he had so much fun looking at all the animals. We loved that the animals were engaging and the dolphin show was awesome! We will be returning.

The orangutan chat is the best! You can see how they're learning flash cards and how brilliant they are.

Fantastic experience! We enjoyed our adventure here! Plenty to do and see, family favorite was the dolphin show. Their habitats seem well maintained, great staff as well. Friendly and knowledgeable. This will be a return visit location when we come to town!

Pleasantly surprised by how many animals were out on this very chilly March day. Dolphin show and Orangutan classes were awesome. Super clean as well, which I appreciate. Can't wait to go back to see all the exotic birds!
