If Maine isn't careful, Indiana could one day steal the moniker of "Vacationland" (no, really). People might picture basketball hoops and cornfields as far as the eye can see, but there's lots of things to do in the Hoosier State, especially outdoors.
Indiana has 500 miles of beautiful state park trails to explore, amusem*nt park roller coasters promising insane G-forces, a nearly month-long state fair and — if you weren't already aware — zoos that rank among the nation's best.
From dolphins to red pandas to an adorable South American anteater named "Mr. Pickles" in Evansville, here are six zoos in Indiana worth a drive.
