The Midwest’s largest black-tie fundraising event, Zoobilation is also a party with a purpose, supporting the Zoo’s animal conservation mission.

ENJOY AN EVENING OF PURE INDULGENCE THAT’S JUST STEPS AWAY FROM THE CITY’S CENTER.
In 2024, Zoobilation will celebrate its 37th year. Zoobilation guests will sample the finest culinary creations from Central Indiana’s most popular restaurants, all vying for Zoobilation’s coveted people’s choice and blue-ribbon awards. Plus, attendees will sip cocktails, wines and other drinks, with beverages presented by Republic National Distributing Company and served at 15 public bars — all set amid the Indianapolis Zoo’s amazing animals and exhibits!
As the sun sets on the city, attendees can dance into the darkness to rocking music presented by Bose McKinney & Evans LLP, with live entertainment featured on multiple stages throughout the Zoo.
Zoobilation was first held in 1986 at the home of Herb Simon, where just a few hundred guests gathered to support the Indianapolis Zoo and celebrate its good work. In the past quarter-century, the event has ballooned in attendance and prominence.
As a privately operated, nonprofit organization that receives no direct tax revenue, the Indianapolis Zoo relies on fundraisers like Zoobilation to help advance its animal conservation mission.
We’re tremendously grateful to all our partners who return year after year to support our Zoo and our mission.
Slow down and savor all Zoobilation’s amenities as a Premium Experience guest. Beginning at 5:30pm, the Premium Experience offers early access to the full event as well as other exclusive benefits, including opportunities to interact with some of the animals the fundraiser supports. Additionally, you’ll receive priority parking, an arrival gift and access to the air-conditioned “Chimpanzee Central Lounge” inside the Ascension St. Vincent Dolphin Pavilion.
