IndianapolisZoo

The Indianapolis Zoo opened in 1964. It has grown into a world-class facility hosting a million visitors each year and playing a major role in worldwide conservation and research. The Indianapolis Zoo is the only attraction accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the American Association of Museums as a zoo, an aquarium and a botanic garden.

The Indianapolis Zoo's mission is to inspire local and global communities to celebrate, protect and preserve the natural world through conservation, education and research, and provide an enriching and wondrous environment for its visitors and the animals in its care. One way The Indianapolis Zoo accomplishes this is through the Indianapolis Prize. The biennial $100,000 Indianapolis Prize represents the largest individual monetary award for animal conservation in the world.
