There’s something new at the Indianapolis Zoo.

Recently, the zoo finally unveiled something they’ve been working on for a long time: a brand-new entry experience, which allows visitors to be totally immersed into nature from their first steps inside.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet a variety of Wild Encounter animals, including a:

  • Chatty parrot
  • Sleepy sloth
  • Slithery snake
  • Adorable aardvark
  • And more

See it for yourself during regular zoo hours (Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday-Sunday from 9 a.m.-7 p.m.).*
