Fort Wayne Zoo brings wildlife exhibits and conservation education to a landscaped setting beside Franke Park.

Previously known as Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, the attraction now uses the shorter Fort Wayne Zoo name. Its outdoor paths connect animal habitats and family activities, allowing visitors to shape a visit around their interests.
Check current admission and the seasonal calendar before traveling, particularly for special autumn events or days with limited activities. Plan for walking outdoors and confirm separate tickets or schedules for rides and special experiences. Allow animals space and follow staff instructions around exhibits.
