First timer at Indy Zoo

Never been to the Indy Zoo before, so if I don%26#39;t arrive until about 1:00 would I have enough time to see everything by 6:00. Also out zoo here in Louisville closes at 6:00 but you don%26#39;t have to be out of the zoo until 7:00. Is that the case here also. We planning on spending a lot of time at the dolphins and ocean area.

First timer at Indy Zoo

I take my 2 yr old son to the zoo once every week or two for the last year, so I know the zoo like the back of my hand. I assume you checked the times on the Indy zoo website. They differ between weekdays and weekends, and depending on the season.

The Indy zoo is a mid-sized zoo. You will easily get through it in five hours. There%26#39;s enough to see that you will need the full five hours, though.

The dolphin show (FREE) is at 2:30 and 4:30 in the afternoon. You can get tickets at the gate, but if they are ';sold out';, don%26#39;t worry. I have yet to have them take my ticket at the door. Since it%26#39;s free, there%26#39;s no worry about sneaking in.

You%26#39;ll miss most of the other animal shows by coming later, but check the schedule on the guide when you get there. Show times differ by season as well.

As far as the closing time, they are fairly strict about it about a half hour after ';official'; close. I%26#39;ve been chased out before, so I%26#39;ve tested the limits.

Enjoy!

First timer at Indy Zoo

The downtown area will be a little more crowded that usual with the college basketball games here but that shouldn%26#39;t affect your zoo trip. The games aren%26#39;t til friday and Sunday. I wouldn%26#39;t be in a rush to leave at 6:00 p.m. Take a drive thru downtown and check out The Circle. By 6:30 traffic heading south towrds KY should be pretty easy. From 5-6 it can back and be pretty slow until you get past the Greenwood exit

I don%26#39;t think you%26#39;ll have any problem getting through the Indy Zoo in 5 hours.
