Indy has an awesome zoo, but the price is kinda crazy. We always try to go on the deal days. If you've never been though, it's probably worth the price for the first visit.We're going to be in Indy on Sunday and are looking for something to kill several hours. I've ready some pretty mixed reviews on the Indy Zoo, is it worth visiting for the price or should we look elsewhere? We're from Fort Wayne and kind of spoiled by our awesome zoo.
CTS: You have kids?
In all honesty & sincerity - there are several other things I'd rather do downtown than the Indy Zoo. And I LIKE the zoo.
If you have kids along - check out the Children's Museum. It's not cheap, either, but it is one of the best (if not THE) in the world. Note - there's a licensed school on property.
Indiana State Museum is, I think, fantastic. I could spend all day there. The Chinese Terra Cotta Soldiers are there, I think.
Terra Cotta warriors are at the childrens museum.
Yep it's ran by a bunch of liberal hippies. And like mentioned before, gun grabbers. I'd rather spend my money somewhere ANYWHERE elseNo gun zone.
Idiotic global warming/save the planet from humans crap. For instance, there was (last time I was there) a sign that polar bears were disappearing because of humans. Also, no-fact-checking statements made during the dolphin show such as "each time you let that candy wrapper drop to the ground it can end up inside a dolphin choking him". They were also pushing fluorescent lighting as a way to save the planet with no mention that these add to mercury poisoning.
