Visit the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo in 2019

This summer, the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo has opened two new exhibits!

The very first thing you’ll see when you step through the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo entrance is the fan-favorite Monkey Island – but with an all-new look!

Have a swinging good time with the Zoo’s Capuchin monkeys as they dangle from the branches of their new trees and enjoy the classic moat, now enhanced with a beautiful waterfall.

Next, stop by the completely redesigned North American River Otter exhibit to check out the playful otters using their brand-new slide, and come face to face with them in the underwater discovery area as they splash and dive!

These updates give a breath of fresh air to the Central Zoo while preserving the iconic features visitors know and love. Visitors of all ages will love connecting with animals from the moment you step inside the Zoo!

This summer, step into the wild with a visit to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo. Round out your visit in Fort Wayne with plenty of other family-friendly activities including riverfront fun at our new Promenade Park, festivals almost every weekend in the summer, and so much more!
