The exhibits has always had a rotation of different animals including my favorite animal at the whole zoo the orangutan. He has always been very active and interactive. Will meet you face to face at the glass and put palm to palm with you. Also every playful. The other animals they have in these exhibits are unique and cool to look at as well. This exhibit has been around at least since I was a kid so it isn't newer but it it still holds up. Overall I'm a fan of Thai area. Always the fists thing we visit at the Lousiville zoo as we always tend to walk in and go to the right. Also one of my all time favorites of my oldest daughter (now a teenager) on her first zoo trip getting very excited to see an orangutan.

I actually travelled from Indianapolis just for this event and I must say I would do this again in a heartbeat. I didn't know what to expect other than a few lanterns... Well these are lanterns on steroids. Huge towering lanterns arranged by the various themes. A lot of dragons, as they are Chinese lanterns. Some change colors, some are animated, some have sounds and there is even an entire display that will tell you a story. The various dinosaurs are animated as they speak. They may have been dragons and not dinos... I forgot already. There were so many things to see that it was almost overwhelming. Whomever designed this, Kudos. You get to walk through the entire zoo and there are lanterns at every step of the way.

I went to the Louisville Zoo for Wild Nights, and it was a spectacular display of art and culture…read more I really enjoyed how many of the displays changed colors, and there were so many great photo opportunities that guests could actually be part of. The food and drinks were incredibly expensive, though. I understand that events like this help support the zoo, but $6 for a 20-ounce drink felt a bit much. Most of the animals were either away or sleeping, so I can't really comment on the zoo itself from this visit. The magic show was cute, but definitely geared more toward children. I did appreciate that they advertised future events, and I thought they handled the large crowd very well and moved people through quickly. Overall, Wild Nights was a really enjoyable experience.

This is always a nice easy air conditioned stop for us when we visit the Lousiville zoo. I'm not a big amphibian or fish guy but the kiddos enjoy checking out the snakes snd pretty fish. I personally like the Komodo dragon and the albino alligator. They are a couple of the more unique and cool animals in the entire zoo. Overall while a long time part of the zoo (exhibits been here since I was a little kid) jt still is a cool one that they have done a good job of updating and keeping relevant over the years by adding things like albino gators and Komodo dragons.

Simply put, Huber's is a machine, a well-oiled machine…read more My wife grew up visiting Huber's several times a year for Christmas trees, pumpkins, fresh produce, and just about everything else the farm has to offer. When she moved me up here many years ago, one of the first places she took me was Huber's. We've been back countless times over the years, and it never disappoints. Our latest visit included my nephew, his new wife, my niece, and her 10-year-old son. My niece-in-law is from New York City and had never experienced life on a farm. (Last year, we took her to pet a horse for the first time!) So when she wanted to go peach and apple picking, Huber's was the obvious choice. Let's just say she and my 10-year-old great-nephew absolutely loved riding the trams and picking fresh fruit. My nephew and niece enjoyed themselves too, even though they both grew up on a farm in Georgia. My wife and I took a more relaxing approach, sampling some of Huber's excellent adult beverage offerings while enjoying the live band. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. All in all, Huber's once again lived up to its reputation as one of the best family destinations around. It offers something for everyone, whether you're looking for fresh produce, family activities, live music, or a great place to unwind. I normally end my reviews by saying, "I'll be back." With Huber's, it's never a question of if--only when. Halloween is just around the corner, and we'll be looking for pumpkins.

Hubert's winery is a hidden gem in Indiana! They cafe the food was amazing and the farmers market amazing There were only TWO things that WAS NOT so great! IT IS THEIR CHEESE AND ICE CREAM FACTORY!. I use to take my daughter there for the horseback riding and the petting zoo ! 15 plus years ago ONE OF HER FAVORITES WAS WALKING OVER TO THEIR CHEESE AND ICE CREAM FACTORY IT HAS CHANGED UNFORTUNATELY She loved watching through a glass window and see them making cheese and ice cream! That was one of her favorites their ice cream back then had more taste the ice cream they THEY HAVE NOW you can't taste any flavor in the ice cream ITS SO BLAND i bought the homemade peach ice cream it tasted like plain vanilla ice cream NO PEACH TASTE what so ever I swapped it out for salted Carmel I could not taste the salted Carmel at all I might as well just ordered vanilla. They also had more flavors back then! The quality of their ice cream has gone way down VERY LITTLE CHEESE SELECTION not a big fan of that change ! They need to bring back the cheese factory where we could see through the glass ! and MAKE THEIR ICE CREAM WITH FLAVOR I WOULD STILL GIVE IT 10 plus if I could!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE BRI ask for her when you if ever go and have a tasting!!! SHE IS AMAZING!!!

Gorilla forest is a world renown and popular attraction located inside the Louisville zoo park…read more This massive exhibit is home to a ton of gorillas and is a great exhibit to explore and learn about. Very large and extensive and very well maintained exhibit. There is always a ton of gorillas here playing and having fun. It seems like they get excitement from people being excited to see them. I'm not sure if this particular gorilla (whose name I forget) is still at the zoo. But for the longest time there was a gorilla who would come up to you at the glass and tap on the window. One day a worker finally said "he wants to see the photos in your phone". So if you pulled out your phone and showed him pics he would tap the glass for when he wanted to see the next picture. Soo cool and my kids absolutely adored it. Overall an amazing and fun game exhibit. I'd say the largest exhibit and beat up to date one at the zoo. These magnificent beings truly have a massive playground to explore and play. Always a favorite for us and others when visiting the Louisville zoo.

Everybody loves the gorillas. This area takes you through a simulated gorilla habitat located in…read morethe Africa section. It is just over 15 years old, opening in 2005, but is well maintained. Betty White was the guest speaker at the opening. It is huge, covering 4 acres. It consists of a discovery trail and 3 gorilla habitats. It was a cold day when I visited so I and most all of the other visitors viewed the gorillas from the indoor habitat. That is where all the gorillas were anyway. I guess it was too cold for them to be outside. Sadly, the gorilla, like so many other animals, is an endangered species that is being brought about due to the loss of their habitat. Zoo exhibits such as this one is vital to the conservation of the species and education about them. The other two habitats are an open air viewing station from a bridge and a station that you can view the animals through a glass. The gorillas were pretty active in the indoor area and had lots to do and toys to play with. One was positioned for the perfect selfie. It is said to have 10 gorillas over here, but I did not see that many. There is also a hippo over here, yes a hippo. in the Hippo Falls subsection of the area. There is a long walkway that connects the habitats that has educational signs about gorillas along the way. There is also a restroom near the end of the area and the African Outpost marks the beginning. Fun Fact: The American Association of Zoos and Aquariums honored the Louisville Zoo's Gorilla Forest exhibit with an award for excellence and innovation. I really like this area. It is a close second to my favorite area of the zoo (Glacier Run is first). This is still a must visit and is a fun area to spend time in, especially if you catch some of the gorillas in an interactive mood.
