Discover a zoological wonderment in the heart of the city. The Indianapolis Zoo was voted one of the nation's top ten zoos by Tripadvisor. The zoo sits on 70 acres nestled in the downtown Indianapolis White River State Park. It's a zoo mania filled with hours of extraordinary animal exhibits, attractions, and education.

Indy Greenways is a haven paradise for walking, hiking, biking and horse riding. Bikers can enjoy a 127-acre natural park with nine miles of down and dirty dirt trails for both the novice and expert rider. Throughout the park are hills that challenge walkers as well - but take note, bikers have the right of way here! Indiana's horse trails span 3,500 miles and offer a safe experience for all riders consisting of a system of loops, and a network without stables. But, you'd better take your own horse if you hope to ride. 

Whether you're in to toe tapping to the beat or relaxing to the soulful strains of the blues, come listen to the music at the annual Indy Jazz Fest. Experience old Jazz favorites and hear the talents of emerging new Jazz artists. The festival is a spotlight that shines on the city's rich jazz heritage.
