If you have some extra time in Indy, the zoo is a ton of fun and White River Gardens right next door is the prettiest gardens we're ever seen! Plus, they're right in downtown Indianapolis.
We spend an extra day after the race every year so we can visit the animals and go on the mini roller coaster and Alex likes the carousel.
The Indianapolis Zoo is one of the nonracing parts of our trip that we really look forward to. It's so beautiful and there's so many things to see and do, here are some of the things to enjoy there.
Our favorites are the dolphin show and the birds!
The bird exhibits
* Feed different types of kid-friendly small birds.
* Watch rare, gorgeous birds doing their thing.
* Let your child play in the Little tots treehouse play area.
The forest exhibits
* Walk under the dense trees spotting different types of birds.
* Marvel at the Red pandas, Amur tigers, brown bears, and other animals frolick, eat, or rest.
The ocean exhibits
* Touch real sharks in the shark pool.
* See penguins, moon jellies, and more.
* Look at an underwater veiwing for polar bears, sea lions, and many more ocean creatures.
* Watch dolphins do tricks.
The desert exhibits
* See rare animals that live in the desert.
* Watch the meerkats jump and play below the giant dome.
The plains exhibits
* Try your luck at beating a cheetahs speed.
