Indianapolis Zoo 2018 Events Calendar

One of the great attractions and venues in Indianapolis is the Indianapolis Zoo. If you’ve not visited recently, you should make it a point to as there are plenty of new exhibits and things to see. Visiting the zoo is one of the favorite things my daughter and I would do together. Slow pace, take plenty of time to go and watch the animals in their various habitats. A good day of fun for the family.

Here’s what we can look forward to from the zoo in 2018.
