[/slider_custom]

Located in White River State Park, the Indianapolis Zoo is a 64-acre zoological and botanical complex where where more than 1,900 species of animals, plants and people connect through education, exhibition, conservation, and research. The Indianapolis Zoo inspires local and global communities to celebrate, protect, and preserve our natural world through conservation, education, and research, and by providing an enriching and wondrous environment for our visitors and the animals in our care.

The Zoo’s mission of educating the public can be seen on any given day. From summer camps, to overnights, to informational signage at exhibits, the Zoo strives to provide visitors with the knowledge necessary to conserve the Earth’s vast resources, not only for plants and animals, but also for ourselves. That is the message of the Indianapolis Zoo – all life is interconnected and when one piece suffers, the effects are felt by all. The vision of the founders still is shared today, as the Zoo provides the public with the necessary tools for the appreciation and preservation of life.
