Think those big zoos are the only place for amazing animal encounters? Think again! The Washington Park Zoo in Michigan City, Indiana, has been charming visitors since 1928. It’s a small but mighty place, tucked right into Washington Park. Don’t expect massive crowds or giant enclosures – this zoo provides a more intimate experience.
They do have some cool residents. Check out the lemurs, red pandas, and even Amur tigers. The Australian Adventure gives you a peek at Aussie animals. Watch out for special events like Boo at the Zoo (Halloween fun!) or Zoo Booze & Brews if you’re 21+.
This place isn’t perfect. Some areas feel a bit dated, which is understandable for a smaller zoo. But guess what? They have big expansion plans! Expect more animals and better habitats – the zoo is serious about conservation. Keep an eye on this little gem – it’s a classic with the potential to really shine.
