About this activity

The Washington Park Zoo was founded in 1928, which means there has been nearly 90 years of family fun that's been had since it opened. That's a LOT of memories created!

The Washington Park Zoo is set on 15 amazing acres of hill sand dunes close to the lake. It's also the place where kids can get up close to animals from all over the world - without having to leave the state of Indiana! In fact, the zoo has over 200 animals for them to experience. Better leave a whole day for your family adventure!

The animals at the zoo represent creatures from all across the planet. Kids can experience their favorites, and say hello to species they may have never heard of before. They can get face to face with cheeky monkeys, grizzly bears, and grand tigers. There are also playful otters, snappy alligators, and so much more!

Don't miss the 70ft tall observation tower - it gives you incredible views of the entire park! There is also a fun rotary castle reptile house for all those scaly creatures!

The magic of Australia can be felt at the Australian Adventure enclosure, which is a walk through exotic aviary, and kids can learn all about these amazing animals at the keeper talks and special events that are held across the year. 

If the animals weren't enough at the Washington Park Zoo, kids can enjoy a ride on the fun Safari Train, where it might just feel like you're on the plains of Africa! Toot Too!

So enjoy some animal fun on your next family day out, you never know what you're going to learn, or the friends you might make!
