A few weeks ago, we took our granddaughter, Norah, to visit her uncle in Indianapolis. After seeing him coaching a morning football game, we headed to the Indianapolis Zoo.
The zoo is located in the heart of downtown Indy. It’s not very big, but it’s amazing. Several exhibitions have marked us. The Oranagange exhibition is the best I have ever seen. And, we were so close to the lions in the lion exhibit, it was like we could touch them and touch them. The dolphin exhibit was truly amazing. Oh, I almost forgot about snakes, so cool.
Several other zoo attractions make the experience a lot of fun. There is a tram that gives you a view from the sky over the whole zoo. And makeup that will blow your mind.
My granddaughter, Norah, wanted to have her face painted like a rainbow tiger and I decided to film the whole process. What I didn’t expect was that it would take less than three minutes to finish the very intricate painting of the beauty to get the tiger face.
There is still time to visit the Indianapolis Zoo to enjoy their Halloween celebration, Zoo Boo. According to them website.
ZooBoo is a fun family experience for little ghouls and goblins as well as older ones. October weather means active animals, colorful foliage, and a new season to explore. Combine that with engaging, hands-free activities, spooky costumes and treats, and you’ve got an unforgettable family tradition. NS !
Pumpkin
The Bicentennial Pavilion is home to a whimsical village where Mayor Jack keeps guests on their toes with his boozy jokes! Professor Pumpkin leads confusing science demonstrations for little witches and wizards at the Pumpkin School. As snakes, cats, and other not-so-spooky creatures scurry through Jack’s Barn, you can also see Guardian Kris’ collection of spooky skulls.
