Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden Map and Brochure (2018 – 2024)
Location: Evansville, Indiana
Years Active: 1928 – Active
Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden isn’t your standard zoo. It’s been around since 1928, so it has a really old-timey feel that some folks love. Others find it a bit outdated. But hey, that means smaller crowds if you go on a weekday!
The real star here is Amazonia. It’s a hot, humid trek through a recreated rainforest. You’ll see monkeys, crazy birds, and if you’re lucky, maybe even a sloth! Animals get moved around, so sometimes exhibits feel empty. Just ask a staff member – they’ll happily point you to the hidden gems.
Love plants and animals? This place has both. The gardens are gorgeous, especially in the spring. The zoo grows plants to feed the animals. Sometimes, you can see keepers feeding them fresh branches and flowers!
