点评:It was a beautiful day at the zoo. They have a very nice conservatory/garden at the entrance you can opt to go through. Pretty expansive grounds. My only negative is it's a little steep in the admission range for zoos, especially for the Midwest. I have no idea how they are financed outside of admission but I do find it interesting that one zoo can be $4 and one can be $30+. Huge lot but you still pay $10 additional for parking.
Indianapolis Zoo stands out for its primate habitats, specifically chimpanzee and orangutan. While I'm not into primates much when I visit a zoo, except gorillas, lemurs and tamarins, I was impressed with these two complexes.
That said, I spent most of my time in the Africa Plains with Jabari and his mom and aunties. If you got elephants, I'm there. Aside from the matriarchal group, I enjoyed watching Kedar and hearing the fate of his swivel log. One powerful dude!
I enjoyed the variety of creative habitats and interactions with staff. Very engaging. Nice dolphin presentation and elephant training demonstration.
I purchased the access band and rode the little coaster, the train and the Sky Line. Reasonable extra charge.
If I lived in Indy, I'd be a member but probably won't make the drive over for another visit.
翻译:在动物园度过了美好的一天。他们在入口处有一个非常漂亮的温室/花园,您可以选择穿过。场地相当广阔。我唯一不满的是动物园的门票价格有点高,尤其是对于中西部地区来说。我不知道除了门票之外,他们是如何筹集资金的,但我确实发现一个动物园的门票是 4 美元,而另一个动物园的门票是 30 美元以上,这很有趣。停车场很大,但您仍需额外支付 10 美元停车费。
印第安纳波利斯动物园以其灵长类动物栖息地而闻名,特别是黑猩猩和猩猩。虽然我参观动物园时对灵长类动物不太感兴趣,除了大猩猩、狐猴和狨猴,但这两个综合体给我留下了深刻的印象。
话虽如此,我大部分时间都和 Jabari 和他的妈妈和阿姨们一起在非洲平原度过。如果你有大象,我就会去那里。除了母系群体,我喜欢看 Kedar 并听他旋转圆木的命运。一个强大的家伙!
我喜欢各种创意栖息地和与工作人员的互动。非常吸引人。很棒的海豚表演和大象训练示范。
我购买了通行带,乘坐了小过山车、火车和天际线。合理的额外费用。
如果我住在印第安纳波利斯,我会成为会员,但可能不会再开车来参观。
