After a long Indiana winter, we could all use a little xZOOberance! We’ve expanded our annual spring festival to feature 16 days of fun with activities running from noon-4pm on event days only.
Need a place for the kids to safely blow off steam and overcome a little cabin fever? The Bicentennial Pavilion will be buzzing with live music and dancing, along with spring-centric art and fun activities.
Inside the Bee Study, see how beekeepers care for honey bees and learn all about these and other important pollinators. Or express your creativity with our spring-themed crafts and even make colorful enrichment items for our animals to enjoy.
Seeking your next epic photo op? Look for larger-than-life flowers, humming birds and pinwheels. Snap a family photo at our beautiful Fly with the Butterflies photo op presented by PNC. And, of course, don’t miss encounters with animals, including goats and chickens.
Outside, you can stretch out with some animal-inspired yoga! Can you balance on one leg like a flamingo? Or spread your wings like a macaw? Meet Polly Pollen and learn to do the bee dance, then try your hand at a game of Pollen Toss.
With this much to see and do, there’s no question: It’s time to say sayonara to winter and ring in the season we’ve all been waiting for.
We’re offering a fresh, seasonal menu with a variety of options perfect for your spring outing!
Satisfy your hunger with a beefy burger, BBQ sandwich or grilled brat. Or enjoy delicious sweet treats and snacks like Bavarian pretzels and a nosh box filled with meats and cheeses.
Also, adults can enjoy craft beer, wine and hand-crafted cocktails created especially for our event by Hotel Tango.
xZOOberance will feature a unique lineup of acts during each of the 16 days.
At the main stage under the Bicentennial Pavilion, a variety of talented performers will keep you engaged and entertained. Over at the center stage near Café on the Commons, backyard karaoke with Uncle Frank and Aunt June is sure to have you smiling and singing along!
All concerts and entertainment are included with Zoo admission.
Bring your little ones and join us Easter weekend for new Easter Egg Hunts presented by Kinder Joy®!
