Welcome to the Dolphin Adventure at the Indianapolis Zoo!

The Indianapolis Zoo presents the Dolphin Adventure, a combination of new approaches to dolphin/human interaction and some spectacular design work inside the Dolphin Adventure Pavilion. Click the links below for more information on the three major components of the Dolphin Adventure at the Indianapolis Zoo!

Dolphin In-Water Adventure2Dolphin In-Water Adventure
Behind the scenes, we have created the Midwest’s only in-water dolphin program for our visitors, a unique combination of classroom experience, conservation message and opportunity to be truly in touch with these magnificent marine mammals.  Certain restrictions apply, so make sure you check out our online registration materials.

Dolphin dome viewing-Fred CateThe Underwater Dolphin Dome
The highlight of the new Dolphin Adventure is a 30-foot diameter, 12-foot high, underwater dome placed squarely in the middle of the dolphin performance pool – a first for U.S. zoos - and made possible through the generosity of the Marmon Family. Zoo visitors have a perspective of dolphins that they have never had before.

Dolphin Show-Scott OlmsteadMarsh Dolphin Theater
Meanwhile, on top of the water, the interior of the Marsh Dolphin Theater (the country’s second largest fully-enclosed and environmentally controlled dolphin arena) has been transformed into a coastal village, complete with buildings and wharf. For the dolphin shows, check in at admissions when you enter to receive the time for your dolphin show seating.  Seating is limited; first come, first serve.
