Fairgoers are invited to enjoy a variety of attractions including demolition derbies, motorcycle races, pageants, a bear show, concerts, car show, talent shows, contests, 4-H horse competition, Elephant Experience, Dock Dogs, the midway, fabulous fair food, and much more for the entire family! Hundreds of Marion County youth showcase their talents through 4-H to celebrate Marion County’s agricultural heritage in categories including fashion, photography, crafts, and animals leading to the Indiana State Fair in August.

Our goal is for campers to have fun in an environment that encourages participation, builds self-esteem and creates friendships.
Noble one week camps offer the following:

 Specialty camps designed to offer one week opportunities and experiences in a small setting.

 4:1 ratio for youth with and without disabilities who are able to stay focused for a period of time and willing to actively participate with others in a group setting with minimal support and must not be a flight risk. (with our commitment to providing a 4:1 setting we are able to provide support for campers who do not need to receive or require 1:1 in a school /social setting)

 Designed for those who are seeking activities that match their interest verses those who are seeking a typical daycare setting. Each camp is unique and families should look carefully at which camp will be the most appropriate for their son or daughter and which ones best match their son or daughter’s interest (i.e. likes to makes things in the Kitchen, then the Kitchen camp would be a good match, likes to paint and create Art – then Art would be a good fit.)

 Each camps run M-F from 9am to 3:30pm (we do not provide before and after care)

 Our specialty camps are provided for youth ages 6-18 years of age (Career Camp and Community and Character Camp ages 15-22) and are located in the central Indiana area.

Feel free to create whatever inspires you with 2 lbs of clay. We will be nearby to help and advise you as much or as little as you need. Your projects are fired and ready to paint in 10-14 days. The price also includes a return visit for painting the clay anytime during our business hours.

Recommended for all ages 5 and up. No prior clay experience is necessary. The price is $25 per person tax.

Since this is a special event, we require advance reservations.

Creatures big and small are crawling, hopping, swimming and slithering to Newfields this summer. Beginning June 1, there will be many colorful animals in the IMA Galleries and throughout The Garden for an experience that fuses art and nature.

After the paintings have dried and been professionally framed by The Great Frame Up Downtown & Broad Ripple, they are displayed for the summer in the Schaefer Rotunda at White River Gardens. Plus, you also get to enjoy the works of some of our more artistically inclined animals. Who knows — you may see a penguin Picasso, a walrus Warhol, an elephant Escher and many others!

See a painting or sculpture that you’d like to have at home? Then don’t miss the annual silent auction and artists’ reception, held in the Hulman Riverhouse at the Gardens. Bid on your favorite artwork or just enjoy the show! You’ll also get to mingle with artists and other Zoo patrons, get after-hours access to the Hilbert Conservatory, with its beautiful views of downtown Indianapolis, and savor light hors d’oeuvres and wine. Plus, one of the talented artists will receive the Members Choice award. Reservations are required for the reception and silent auction.

With red hair, grit, and plenty of spunk, America’s favorite orphan proves her worth to a billionaire and a new generation as Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre presents “Annie” as its 2018 Family Show, offering $10 discounts off tickets for all kids ages 3-15.
The Broadway musical, which opened in 1977, is derived from Little Orphan Annie, a 1920s Chicago Tribune comic strip by Harold Gray that was inspired by James Whitcomb Riley’s 1885 poem of the same name. But the musical is set in 1933, during the Great Depression and centers on Annie, an orphan girl in New York City. Left on the doorstep of an orphanage as an infant, Annie is convinced her parents will one day return for her – proving their identity with the matching half of the locket they had left with their infant daughter. Through a miscommunication, chance, and a bit of luck, Annie ends up spending a week with billionaire Oliver Warbucks just before Christmas, and both of their lives are changed forever.

A brand new habitat has been created for a troop of long-tailed macaques. These incredibly curious primates are highly adaptable to different habitats and climates, though they generally live near water. They’re also very adept swimmers, which makes this species a good fit for the Oceans area.

The macaques’ habitat features pools surrounded by open, grassy areas as well as a few raised platforms that extend over the water. Not only does this design reflect the architectural styles found in Southeast Asia, we hope it will encourage the macaques’ unique — and very fun — natural diving behaviors that guests can watch through multiple glass viewing windows.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines and hold on tight as we open our exhibit celebrating speed, safety, design, and power! Get revved up for special performances, activities, and the occasional pit stop!

Hoosier artist Lois Main Templeton at 90 years of age remains a force of nature. Her artwork is an extension of her personality: direct, confident, unapologetic and larger-than-life. She combined her love of writing with her passion for painting to create one-of-a-kind works of art that are distinctively hers. In this exhibit, guests will experience 30 of her paintings, see her journals to observe her artistic process and learn about her life. Inspired by her work, visitors will then be able to make their own scratch art or poetry using magnetic words.
