The Indianapolis Zoo. 

Since opening in 1964, the Indianapolis Zoo has grown into a world-class facility playing a major role in worldwide conservation and research, including accomplishing the world’s first successful artificial insemination of an African elephant.  The Indianapolis Zoo is located in White River State Park downtown and is the only attraction accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) and the American Association of Museums as a zoo, an aquarium and a botanic garden.   The Indianapolis Zoo is located approximately one mile west of the downtown on West Washington Street.  

White River Gardens continues the Indianapolis Zoo’s mission of connecting animals, plants and people.  This stunningly beautiful 3.3-acre landmark botanical attraction combines the best of gardening ideas, plant information and inspirational design to serve the needs of all visitors.
