| What Days Are Free At The Indianapolis Zoo |
Mark Your Calendars, These Dates Are Roar-some!
Here's the lowdown on when you can experience the wonders of the Indianapolis Zoo without whipping out your wallet:
Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January): Celebrate the legacy of Dr. King while honoring some pretty amazing creatures. It's a day of service and learning, and the zoo is happy to share it with you, free of charge.
Celebration Days: Get ready for some celebratory savings! The Indianapolis Zoo offers discounted admission (over 50% off! That's practically stealing!) on several days throughout the year. Mark your calendars for:
- Earth Day (April 22nd): Show your love for our planet and cuddle (metaphorically, please) a koala bear. All for a good price!
- Juneteenth (June 19th): Celebrate freedom and equality with a trip to see some fascinating animals who are all pretty good at living their best lives.
- Independence Day (July 4th): What better way to celebrate America's birthday than by ogling at some majestic beasts? (Bonus points for wearing red, white, and blue – the lemurs might appreciate the patriotism.) Hey, that's today!
- Halloween (October 31st): Dress up as your favorite animal and see if you can blend in with the zoo crew (disclaimer: blending in with a lion is highly discouraged).
- Wildlife Conservation Day (December 4th): Learn about amazing conservation efforts and how you can help protect our animal friends. All while enjoying some fantastic zoo exhibits, of course!
Important Note: While these days offer free or discounted admission, there may still be charges for parking, food, and those irresistible souvenirs (who can resist a plush fennec fox?).
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
So You Want to Score Free Zoo Fun? Here's the 411:
