The Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is located in Fort Wayne, Indiana and was opened in 1965 on 40 acres in the city’s Franke Park. The zoo is home to more than 1,000 animals organized in four distinct biomes that represent different world regions: African Journey, Australia Adventure, Central Zoo, and Indonesian Rain Forest. The zoo is world-famous for its unique and innovative animal habitats, exhibits, and beautiful grounds. The zoo’s various paths meander through misty jungles, over grassy hillsides with grazing giraffes, and through African savannahs. The zoo is also known for its community outreach and animal visits to kids’ playgrounds, various nursing homes, and the Children’s Ward at Parkview Hospital.
