More About Zoopolis 500

This unique Zoo event and race-fan favorite includes a morning of family-friendly pre-race festivities leading up to the “Greatest Spectacle in Tortoise Racing.” Meet 500 Festival Princesses and snap photos with a 500 Festival pace car and the giant milk jug. Then, follow the tortoise and dairy fun facts back toward the Arena for the pre-race festivities. The American Dairy Association Indiana will be handing out free Dean’s TruMoo chocolate milk (while supplies last).

Make sure to arrive early to meet a snake at the Snake Pit. Pre-race commentary will begin at 11:15am leading up to the parade lap at 11:30am. When the green flag drops, cheer on the tortoises as they race up, down and around the track toward a tray of delicious fruits and veggies!

Zoopolis 500 is one of the Zoo’s oldest and most popular events, and the best part is all of the day’s activities are free for members and included with regular Zoo admission! For more information and to purchase zoo admission Click for Details
