Puffing Pandas????? (y?n hu? xi�ng m?o - Mandarin for "firework pandas") Not at the Indianapolis Zoo!
Let's face it, sometimes a trip to the zoo can be a wild ride... but not in the way you might think. If you're a smoker and you're planning a visit to the Indianapolis Zoo, get ready to tame those cravings because cigarettes and vapes are about as welcome as a lion in a tutu.

| Can You Smoke At The Indianapolis Zoo |
But why the smoke-free safari?
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
There are a few reasons the Indianapolis Zoo wants to keep things clear and fresh:
- Thinking of the Animals: Secondhand smoke is a drag (pun intended) for everyone, especially creatures with sensitive respiratory systems. The zoo wants to keep their furry, feathered, and scaled residents healthy and happy.
- Fresh Air for Fresh Faces: Kids (and let's be honest, some adults) aren't exactly thrilled by a face full of smoke while they're trying to spot a giraffe. The smoke-free policy keeps the air clear for everyone to enjoy the sights and smells (mostly the yummy zoo food smells) of the animal kingdom.
- Keeping it Clean: Cigarette butts are litter, plain and simple. The Indianapolis Zoo is all about keeping their grounds spick and span, so flicking your butts isn't part of the experience.
So, what's a smoker to do? ♀️
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Don't worry, fellow nicotine enthusiasts, you won't have to go cold turkey just to see a Komodo dragon. There are plenty of designated smoking areas outside the zoo gates. Just take a quick break, puff away responsibly, and then head back in for more animal adventures.
Thinking of bringing a sneaky vape? Think again! The zoo's smoke-free policy applies to all forms of smoking, including those fancy flavored e-cigarettes.
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
