Fort Wayne Children's Zoo

Free Zoo Fun

The Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo is packed with exciting, hands-on activities designed to kids to connect with their wild side.  Best of all, they’re free!

Girl Playing in the Spraygrounds
Get wet at a new mini-spray ground near Little Poof
Cool off little toes in our splash ponds and spraygrounds.

In the Australian Adventure Welcome Center, wiggle through the wombat burrow and get cozy in the kid-sized kangaroo pouch.

In the African Journey, little explorers can sit behind the wheel of a real Land Rover, peek into tents, beat on a drum, and zoom in on zebra with the Savannah Cam.

Entering the Indonesian Rain Forest? Check out Dr. Diversity’s Research Station where kids can peer into microscopes, “dress” the part of a rainforest researcher, and size themselves up to an elephant.

On Tree Top Trail, children will find hands-on learning in tiger hut and get a squirrel’s eye view as they climb into the Kids’Tree House.

Little Poof, our pint-sized toy train, is waiting for your budding conductor to climb aboard! Around the corner, visit the Indiana Family Farm where kids (of all ages!) can hug a goat, pet a calf, and see baby chicks.

Free animal shows, keeper chats and more are offered daily.  Click here for a schedule.
