Indianapolis Zoo Full Tour - Indianapolis, Indiana

[@grandmalovesyou2821]

Thank you so much for making this video. I'm taking my grandkids in 2 weeks. This is helping me plan the day.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Fantastic, I'm happy my video is helping you with your planning. I hope you and your grandkids have a wonderful time.

Have you ever been to the Columbian Park Zoo Fort Wayne Children's Zoo Mesker Park Zoo Potawatomi Zoo or Washington Park Zoo before

[@fishtaco4170]

I just wanted to say thank you for making these. I watch them while I do school work and they help me relax after a long day

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Wow, that is fantastic. Thank You for being a fan, I'm happy my zoo vids help you relax. 😃

[@Everettalla]

My local zoo! :D It’s fun seeing things your familiar with online.

Been to the Indianapolis several times to do videos for my channel, the folks there are great!

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

This zoo was suggested to me by one of my subscribers. It was a lot of fun 😀

[@benlujan288]

Love all your vids! PS: Thank you for scolding the guy who tapped on the glass. We must always remember and never forget: the zoo animals are not there for our amusement but our appreciation. Big difference!

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Thank You 😁 It really upsets me when ignorant people tap on the glass or make noise to try to wake up the animals. They aren't there to do tricks, it should be a good enough experience just seeing them.

[@jeeristueo3539]

Went there alot when I was younger. Loved the Aquatic areas

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Very nice zoo, I enjoyed it very much. I can see why people like to go back multiple times.

I loved your zoo tour I've lived in Indiana since 2008 & haven't been there yet & now I REALLY want to go & when I get my $ up to go I will be going thank you for the tour it was really enjoying except for the beginning with all the kids & loud people.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

This is an awesome zoo, so much to see and do. The one thing you'll encounter at any zoo is loud people. Depending on what time of year you visit you will see school groups as well. Most are loud but well behaved and they usually move to the next area pretty quickly. Thanks for your comment ☺ hope you enjoy the zoo too.

[@shanerose7204]

Hi Tom! I just wanted to say I applaud you for calling out that guy who banged on the glass. I always hate it when people do that!

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

I really despise people that do something like that. They are visiting the animal's home. I will always say something to the person I see doing inappropriate things to the animals. Thanks for your comment

[@shanerose7204]

@@TomsRoadTrippin No problem. Also, do you ever find it hard to like zoos, I mean with some of the animals being in cages rather than actual wide enclosures? Because as much as I like them I do sometimes feel sorry at certain ones when the animals don’t have enough space. I wish most could be like the Columbus Zoo or Toronto Zoo

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

There have been a few zoo's I've gone to that have out of date habitats for the animals. I try to not interject too much of my own feelings. I try to remain neutral so the viewers can make up their own minds on whether to visit or not. There are several properties I refuse to visit due to the fact the animals don't have enough space. Most zoo's are working to transition away from cages to a more naturally looking habitat.

[@justaNATY]

Love the walruses! The long-tailed macaque (they live in my country) enclosure is a very odd but unique choice for the coastal area, love that the Indianapolis Zoo decided to think out of the box there

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Yeah sometimes thinking outside of the box is a good thing, at this zoo it paid off 😁

[@TreySarver-p5x]

The reason that the Macaques are in that exhibit is because it was the former Polar Bear enclosure

[@noahm398]

Great video thanks for visiting the Indianapolis Zoo. What are your thoughts on each area of the zoo and what is the next zoo?

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

This was a great zoo, I enjoyed it very much. My favorite area was the Sea, The penguin and dolphin areas were awsome. It was nice to see the orangutans up close. The Desert was fantastic and hot. I enjoyed the snakes and lizards. I was sorry missed the k-9 show due to the rain. My next zoo is a theme park and the largest zoo in Florida. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will be my next (zoo) it will be up in 3 weeks.

[@shelbiejessup5406]

Last time i was here was when I was in 1st grade now im graduated and love to see a difference in what I saw as a child

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

The sure sign of a good zoo is when they make quality updates to the property. Nice that you had that memory from your childhood.

great video, i've been to the indianapolis zoo back in 2001-ish when i was around 7 years old. i wouldn't mind going there again someday just to see for myself hwo much it has changed since i went there. also, do you ever plan to visit the toledo zoo or cincinatti zoo? i've been to both in 2003 and 2007 respectively and they are both really great, i think you will enjoy them.

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Thank You, I had planned to visit both of those zoos while on my road trip. However, I got very sick and was forced to cut my trip short. I will visit both next time I'm in Ohio.

I am hoping to get back out West perhaps next year, as long as the whole situation is better. Thanks for all the suggestions. I am glad your enjoying my zoo and aquarium tours.

[@noahm398]

The elephant exhibit just got expanded and there is now a third yard and a trail where the elephants can travel from yard to yard which is kind of same thing D.C does. There is also an elephant encounter where you can get up close and personal with them, so close you are even aloud to pet one. The only other zoo that has up close elephant counters that I know of is Pittsburgh. This new area is called Tembo Camp (Tembo means elephant in swahili)

[@TomsRoadTrippin]

Wow, sounds awesome. I'll have to go back and check it out sometime.

Did you see the African Crested porcupine

The Cape Porcupine was off habitat the day I was there. It was at the animal hospital for some tests so it wasn't available to view.

All the lions are actually related. In the big enclosure is home to the mother and daughter. In the small enclosure there was the two brothers. There was a father, but he was killed by the female.
