Children's Zoo Gift Shop

My children have loved this zoo since they were born. I even remember going to this zoo as a child on school field trips so each time we go its a trip down memory lane for me. The zoo is divided into sections so that if you get an annual pass, you can go a section at a time and not get overwhelmed. There is an Australian Adventure with boat rides. There is the Rainforest Exhibit that has a Carousel. The African Safari has jeep rides to view the animals. There is also a petting zoo where you can buy cones and bottles to feed the animals. Pony rides are also available as is a nice size souvenir shop. The prices on food are a little high so I recommend bringing your own and having a nice picnic in the park before going into the zoo. The family pass is a great investment and is tax deductible. The one time fees are a little steep though. more

A great place to spend the day as a family. The Fort Wayne Children's zoo is one of the best around. The zoo has ton's of animals to see, and also has a petting/feeding area for the goats. A newer exhibit is the shark's, which my children loved. The price is fair, but be forewarned that you should plan on packing your own lunch, and drinks as they are expensive inside the zoo. more

The Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is pretty extensive, which is somewhat surprising for a smaller city. The exhibits are very diverse, and they have a lot of animals. There are a few rides that are fun for smaller children, like the Safari Cars and the Australian log ride. There's also a place where kids can pet and feed goats, and pet baby chicks. The Zoo is also adjacent to Franke Park, making it easy to have a picnic lunch. more

My family and I have spent many hours in the zoo, and the park area as well. It is a real treat to take the kids there and watch their eyes light up in amazment. They have a wonderful time and learn as they go. The park area is wonderful too. They love to come out there and feed the ducks. Then to play on the toys in the park can be an all day adventure. If you pack your lunch you can have a day of fun for little money. more
