Lyn St. James | Giant Tortoise at the Indianapolis Zoo

Get up close with a gentle giant!

During this animal encounter, participants will have an opportunity to enter the tortoise habitat and meet one of the tortoises up close. Guided by a member of the Zoo team, participants will learn about Aldabra tortoises, get to know an individual of our creep, discover how they can act to protect tortoise species right here in Indiana and even grab a “shell-fie” before they leave.

All participants under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a paid adult participant. Children under 2 enter for free.
