Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center
–
Discover for yourself why this award-winning facility has been called one of the most significant zoo exhibits anywhere in the world! Designed to stimulate the apes’ physical, social and intellectual abilities, the Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center is home to one of the largest groups of orangutans in any American zoo. It serves as a vital education, research and conservation center aimed at ensuring a positive future for critically endangered orangutans in the wild. It brings new hope to a species on the verge of extinction.

Plains
–
A slice of Africa is recreated in Indianapolis in the expansive Plains exhibit. When you walk into the large savannah, surrounded by tall grasses and trees on all sides, you’ll feel like you’re on safari in the bush as you watch a variety of African animals graze. The large exhibit spaces have been designed to provide guests — and animals — with multiple areas where they can watch these beautiful creatures.123
Deserts
–
When the doors open to the Deserts Dome, visitors arrive in an arid oasis surrounded by beautiful and mysterious creatures — some of the friendlier ones are even free-roaming! Sunlight fills the space and guests can often see lizards high overhead sunning themselves on rocks close to the windows. The temperature-controlled climate remains 85 degrees in the summer and 82 degrees in the winter, providing a warm environment where our species can thrive.
Flights of Fancy
–
Experience an extravaganza of showy feathers, explosive color and amusing antics when you visit Flights of Fancy: A Brilliance of Birds. These beautiful birds in this exhibit come from warmer climates, like Africa, South America, Asia and Australia, and for their comfort, many of the species spend the winter months inside their climate-controlled off-exhibit area. However, the flamingos and the southern ground hornbills will be on exhibit in the winter as weather permits.
Forests
–
Temperate and tropical forests across the world are represented in our Forests exhibits. Along with various flora and fauna, forests are also characterized by diverse animal species that call it their home. Forests occupy about one third of the Earth’s land area and contain nearly 70 percent of the carbon present in living things. Whether interacting with tigers, bears, or any other creatures of the trees, you are sure to feel transported away from the cityscape while in our Forests area.
Oceans
–
The Oceans allow guests to get up close with a diverse collection of animals of unusual shapes and brilliant colors. In addition to the many species of water-breathing aquatic animals, our Oceans collection also includes air-breathing marine mammals. The St. Vincent Dolphin Pavilion features multiple daily presentations, and guests can go 17 feet under water to meet the dolphins in their own environment in nation’s first underwater dolphin viewing dome!
