Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden has to temporarily close the Amazonia exhibit for the next several weeks while they complete a major painting project.
The days are getting shorter, but they are also getting cooler and more enjoyable, and Mesker Park Zoo is giving you more time to enjoy all they have to offer.
Grab your walking shoes and gear up for a great event! Join Evansville Mayor, Lloyd Winnecke, at Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Gardens for Energize Evansville's "A Walk at the Zoo."

Mesker Amphitheatre, Roberts Park, a new indoor pool to replace the aging Lloyd Pool and a new penguin exhibit at Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden will be the focus of the May Traveling City Hall Program.
