The Indianapolis Zoo has announced a major expansion.
A 10-acre donation from Ambrose Property Group combined with land purchased by the zoo will add 26.5 acres of space to the popular Marion County attraction.
The Zoo and White River Gardens currently covers 67 acres and is home to nearly 1,300 animals including 213 species.
Zoo representatives say the land deal will allow the zoo to expand the animal areas and educational programming into its current parking lot space.
