Rhino Adventure FAQs
All participants must be at least 6 years old. No one under the age of 6 will be allowed to attend this experience. This includes infants.
Children ages 6–13 must be accompanied by a paid adult participant for the duration of the program.
Your total adventure will be around 45 minutes.
Please dress for the day’s weather conditions. For your safety, closed-toe shoes are required. Participants who do not have closed-toe shoes will not be allowed to take part in this experience.
Touch opportunities are up to the animals and how they are feeling that day. You may get to touch an adult rhino, but we cannot guarantee that for every guest.
Participants are welcome to take photos, but no flash photography or video are permitted. Guests must stay in the area designated by Zoo staff while taking pictures.
We make every effort to make all Animal Adventures accessible to all guests. Please contact us at edustaff@indyzoo.com prior to registering to discuss accessibility.
Participants should check in 15 minutes prior to the start of the experience. Look for an Animal Adventures check-in sign outside of the Kangaroo Crossing habitat near the Crossing Café.
We require 48 hours’ advanced notice for any refunds or rescheduling requests for Animal Adventures.
No requests for changes or refunds will be honored after this time. If you do not attend on your scheduled date or cancel within the required time frame of your Educational Program date, no refunds will be issued. Please read program details and requirements closely before signing up to ensure all participating members of your party meet any age or height requirements.
If the Zoo must cancel a program due to low registration, animal well-being or weather, you will be notified by phone and sent an email. You will have 14 days from that notification to reschedule your event to a future date. If you do not reach out to reschedule within this period, you will be issued a refund and are welcome to rebook on your own at a time convenient for you.
