Highlight of our visit (according to our 7-yo). I read some reviews saying it’s short and not much of a show: in fairness, this is actually a “presentation” of their program and if you expect a flashy show, you’ll probably get disappointed. It’s free and fills up quickly. We got tickets for Meet and Greet ($20/person) and they reserve seats for you, which I thought very thoughtful and we didn’t have to worry about standing in line for long (the required age is +6). You’d check in before the presentation (required to fill out their waiver form via phone) and wait after the presentation till everybody else leaves. Then they’ll escort you to the backstage where you sanitize your shoes/hands before meeting dolphins. Actual meeting time is probably less than 30 seconds but my kids loved shaking “fins” with them. Not recommended for someone with bad knees as you’ll have to be on your knees when you meet dolphins. I was hesitant to spend $60 for 3 of us and probably would have hated myself if my kids didn’t enjoy as much as they did.

A whole lot to do and see at the Indianapolis Zoo. From the aquariums, desert, wild life, birds, and rides ; its a whole level of entertainment for the whole family. We experienced the Dolphin display and that was soectacular. had a ride which showed just about the whole view of the Zoo. Did bird feeding. Good restaurants on the premises. enjoyed the cheetah race, took the train around the Zoo. went to the butterfly place.. i highly recomment this for a family day out, its not just fun but educational and all. Bunnie running along the paths as we walked by were the cutiest ever. ende the day with some band playing and it was so relaxing. good clean fun.

Okay dude straight up! This was an awesome experience all around I took a few videos but fir whatever reason Google won't let me share those idk the show was absolutely amazing and the information on these creatures is so interesting. I loved every bit of this show and see the dolphins is close up as we did is uncomparable to any other Zoo I've ever visited. I literally held fins with a dolphin today! I never thought I'd be able to say that and I did it here in the midwest. It was an awesome time and I'd 110% come back! If you're in the area and you can read this do yourself the favor and go it's so worth it!

Love the underwater dome for viewing the dolphins we went on a colder day so there was no crowd so we spent a while watching the dolphins. Very peaceful. The dolphin show was really fun but couldve had more tricks (jumping and flips) there was alot going on at times and hard to know where to look. I would liked for it to be a longer show, theybdid say they were doing at new show starting 3/21 and that this was just a preview of the new show!

A very nice show putting conservation and living together in the show without making it "in your face." The dolphins do all the usual behaviors like waving fins and big jumps and there's a lot of audience interaction. One of the nicest things is the underwater viewing "bubble" where you're actually in a glass row about 15 feet under the water with the dolphins swimming all around you. This is a must - see when you visit the zoo.

We had a Christmas Party here and everything was soo beautiful! The food was delicious! We were able to see the dolphins while sitting at our table. Would definitely to this again. The staff was there to help us with everything from beginning to end. They constantly replenished the food and hot chocolate bar. They has marshmallows, chocolate curls, whipped cream and whatever else that you can add to hot chocolate!
