My family and I love the zoo. My daughter and wife love going there. We all have a fun family time together. The price is a little bit if your not going to buy a family pass. But the family pass makes it cheap. Just remember to bring your own lunch!

It's the Zoo and it's for family fun. Then why does it cost so much? The best deal is the family pass if you want to go there a lot. Family passes are like $99.00 for a year for 2 adults and there under 21 kids w/ free parking. Other wise, your going to pay a fortune! And every time you go there you'll also pay $5.00 just to park! If your going to go, get the pass. One trip almost pays for it's self!

This year there is a new animal at the zoo... a baby elephant! And baby Nubrian goats!! and a giraffe!! Each year seems to bring more babies. Besides these latest additions, there is more. In the summer, on weekends, there is face painting, and animal puppets to purchase, and a mini water park with random water shoots from the padded ground. There is a roller coaster (mini), a train ride around the Great Plains, and pony rides. There are shows throughout the day as well. The latest attraction is the new dolphin pavilion. It's amazing and let's you view the dolphins from underneath the surface of the water. Last year was the first year for the Seahorse Exhibit, and for a while there was a travelling Jellyfish exhibit. Next year is the new Meercats exhibit.

I'm not a fan of the crowds by any means, and in my opinion, winter is the best time to go to the zoo! My favourite animals are still in residence (polar bears, brown bears, tigers, etc.), the snake exhibit is a great place to bask in the warmth, and Water Gardens usually have something fun going on if you're getting too cold. But you get to see everything in the calmest manner possible!

I have been taking my kids to the Zoo since they were babies. And each experience is better. I love all the extra things that have been added. The dolphins are wonderful. By far the favorite part of our day. Food is good, just a little pricey but that is with any place like the Zoo. My kids and I enjoy it each time and will go back again. Gina G

I took my niece and nephews here and we had a great time. The kids absolutely loved the zoo and I like it too. It was so much fun to see them so excited and amazed. My favorite part was the dolphin show and exhibit. Dolphins are my favorite animals and I could have stood there and watched them all day long. We had a great time!

I recently took my one year old daughter to her first visit to the zoo. She loved it to say the least. It was nice to see the zoo through a child's eyes. The new dolphin dome is so amazing. It's great tp be able to walk right under the dolphins. The dolphin show however was so cheesy. I think they really need a new script . The facilities were really nice though. My only advice is try not to go on the hottest day of the year as we did. A lot of the animals were in hiding and my daughter's favorite part of the day was having water sprayed on her!

This zoo is the best in the winter, when very few people are actually there - you get to roam the entire place almost on your own! If you have time at all, get into the terrarium part: their snake collection is simply amazing, but rather crowded with people, usually. The parking situatio is non-intuitive, however: I suppose I could have not paid at all if I didn't ask to pay for it along with the ticket. But oh well - need to provide good example for my niece :)

The Indianapolis Zoo is the very best! We have been there tons and tons of times! It's very impressive they have an indoor aqaurium and dolphin arena (which has recently been completely revamped) They also offer a desert area and a large petting zoo area. They have a couple places for food purchase, but I recommend taking a lunch in a cooler! Their prices are a little outrageous! My kids absolutely LOVE the ZOO!

The Indianapolis Zoo is a great place for family fun. If you plan your day prior to attending the zoo several shows and interesting programs can make the most of your day. The zoo has a great set-up and is very clean. For the experience the admissions price is not all that high. But I would suggest eating prior to your visit and bring a bottle of water instead of planning to eat in the food court, as prices for food and drinks are very high. One of the negative things about the zoo is that the zoo does not house animals larger zoos do. They have all the typical animals such as lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, etc. The zoo lacks some of the more interesting aquatic animals and members of the cat family. We went when they just opened the brand new renovated dolphin arena that wasn't at all impressive. We got free admission into this because it was a brand new exhibit. But you can still go inside the dome to look at them swim from underneath without paying for the show. You do have to pay for this exhibit now. The zebra, & giraffe were in open spaces to roam. The polar bear and seal exhibit was is way too tiny for the animals. You can see the elephants from the highway. And if you have little children, they have a petting zoo inside, that is really nice. They have pony rides for $2.00. The zoo has very few rides that are small roller coasters. They have beautiful Gardens.
