IndianapolisZoo

The mission of the Indianapolis Zoo is to empower people and communities, both locally and globally, to advance animal conservation.

Located in White River State Park downtown, the Indianapolis Zoo was the first attraction in the United States to be accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the American Association of Museums as a zoo, aquarium and botanical garden.

Opened in 1964, the Indianapolis Zoo has grown into a world-class facility hosting a million visitors each year and playing a major role in worldwide conservation and research.

One way the Indianapolis Zoo accomplishes is mission is through the Indianapolis Prize. The biennial $100,000 Indianapolis Prize represents the largest individual monetary award for animal conservation in the world.
