If you have kids, this is a must-do. Lots of hands-on activities for all ages. Nowhere else can you learn about dinosaurs, Anne Frank, fly to China to learn calligraphy, dig for your own fossils, and ride the oldest carousel in Indiana. You will be following your kids from place to place watching them learn the entire time.

This is truly one of the top zoos in the world. Only outdone (in my experience) by that beloved mouse who calls Florida home. Catch the Dolphin show if you are able!
