INDIANA

Indianapolis Zoo:

A nice, moderate-sized set-up with several different exhibits (Asia, Africa, North America). They have beautifully designed habitats for the animals and informational overviews for education. A small train can take you around the zoo to view. They have a wonderful Orangutan exhibit that has massive outdoor towers the primates can climb to explore, as well as a large two-story indoor facility where mamas, babies and others co-exist. Kids can get very close to see the animals and zookeepers are present to educate families.

Eagle Creek Ornithology Center:

Eagle Creek park is a beautiful state park with wonderful trails, easy for kiddos, playgrounds and a lovely lake. It also has a bird center with rescued birds outside, a small museum inside, and a viewing area to watch the birds outside the museum at the feeders and also down by the lake. For littles, there are coloring sheets and crayons that are always a big hit for us.

GainBridge Fieldhouse:

Home of the Pacers and Fever. In the heart of downtown, the best parking option is the Virginia Street Garage which has an enclosed walkway right to the atrium where you enter the Fieldhouse.
