We recently visited the Indianapolis Zoo and at the start of our visit, we were able to see Rocky, the orangutan, climb from a small building to the much larger one, using overhead cables. It was very neat to watch this and not something we anticipated seeing. We will be back and can't wait to see Rocky again!

Wow oh wow this is one of the best additions the Zoo has made in years. The orangutans are worth a visit. They are so playful wow. And the center is expertly done; there is lots of good reading content.

It was exciting watching the babies play while the adults get settled down for a nap. Orangutans are very intelligent and the caretakers provided alot of information about their care

  • Niatie

We had a membership, and that is definitely worth it. Zoo is small, and everything is closed in the winter (understandably). The butterfly exhibit is pretty cool too.

  • Vincent Schurger

The viewing exhibit is excellent. There are many angles to see the orangutans. You can also see them climbing inside and outside. Great exhibit Indy Zoo!

They were all sleeping, and it's hard to imagine how well this big space can be used. Still, it was a neat building with friendly staff inside.

Awesome! They were all out and close to hlass... the baby thinks he is a clown, kept "falling" off of things to get a reaction from the kids :)
