LIGHTS, LEGENDS AND LIONS - This package includes admission to a regular feature at the IMAX Theater, NCAA Hall of Champions and Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens.

IMAX Theatre


NCAA Hall of Champions


Indianapolis Zoo

THE HALL OF CHAMPIONS IS CURRENTLY CLOSED WHILE UNDERGOING A RENOVATION FOLLOWING A FIRE IN THE FACILITY LATE LAST YEAR. The ticket price has been reduced to reflect the closing.

Check out the state’s first IMAX Theater, located in the Indiana State Museum where the screen has never been bigger – the biggest in the state in fact! Whether putting the special glasses on for 3D movies or settling back for a 2D flick, the six story screen, 16,000-watt digital sound system and bright, crisp picture will make you feel like you are in the movies not just watching one.

Cheer, cheer for the home team when you visit the NCAA Hall of Champions. Visitors will discover what it means to be a champion, which spotlights the lives of America’s collegiate student-athletes. In three theater presentations, engaging and changing exhibits, and a turn of the century gymnasium, the Hall showcases past and present champions in 23 sports and 88 collegiate championships.

Walk into the world’s only underwater dolphin adventure and interact with the playful and fun dolphins at the Indianapolis Zoo. No two visits are ever the same as you can never predict what the elephants, penguins, or polar bears will do on any given day. Kids will enjoy the family coaster or the new endangered species carousel or you can turn them loose in a splashy water playground. Now when you visit the Zoo you’ll also get to see White River Gardens, located adjacent to the entrance to the Zoo.

This package is available when you reserve a room at the Courtyard at the Capitol and the Marriott Downtown Indianapolis –just blocks from White River State Park. There is free parking at the hotel and you will be able to walk to all of the attractions.
