- The Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is a zoo in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States. Since opening in 1965, the 1,000-animal zoo has been located on 40 acres (16 ha) in Fort Wayne's Franke Park. The Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo is operated by the non-profit Fort Wayne Zoological Society under a cooperative agreement with the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department. The zoo receives no tax funding for operations and operates solely on earned revenue and donations
Exhibits
The zoo consists of four self-contained biomes themed as different regions of the world.
African Journey
The African Journey opened to the public June 6, 2009 on the former site of the African Veldt. The $9 million African Journey is currently the largest expansion in the FWCZ's history, featuring an African Lion exhibit, African Village, interactive cultural center, giraffe feeding area, Safari Trail, zebras and wildebeests, new animal exhibits (mongooses, buzzards, dik diks and hyenas, honey badgers, bat-eared foxes, pelicans, servals),leopards and a group educational and picnic area. The Sky Safari, a ski lift-like ride, gives riders an aerial view of the Serengeti-based landscape.
Australian Adventure
The Australian Adventure houses the majority of the Zoo's Australian animals. The Australian Adventure is completely remodeled! You’ll begin your adventure at the Train Station, where you’ll cross the tracks and enter the new plaza.
Visit The Reef where you will find clownfish, a zebra moray eel, puffer fish, and more in this 20,000-gallon aquarium. Next on your trip is the 50,000 gallon shark aquarium which includes blacktip reef sharks, a zebra shark, and schooling fish!
Stingray Bay is sure to amaze you with close encounters!
See Australia’s feathery finest as you explore the three new aviaries. Look for cockatiels, parrots, lorikeets, egrets, and more.
Mix with our mob of eastern grey kangaroos - sometimes they hop right across the path! Don’t miss a glimpse of the dingoes hiding in the tall grass as you conclude your Australian Adventure.
Central Zoo
The Central Zoo includes assorted animals from the Americas and a few from other regions, including canada lynx, ring-tailed lemurs, African penguins, otters, tortoises, alligators and macaws. Sea Lion Beach is a major attraction full of California sea lions. Sea Lion Beach has a scheduled feeding performances occur periodically throughout the day. Monkey Island contains a family of Panamanian white-faced capuchins. Peacocks roam freely throughout the farm. Also located in the Central Zoo is a duck pond.
The recently added Indiana Family Farm expands from the old petting zoo area, which contained only goats, wild turkeys, ravens, chickens, and white-tailed deer. Now a model barn and farmhouse, as well as signs from the point of view of children living on a farm, lend atmosphere. Horses, sheep, rabbits, calves, and others are all contained in open stalls and maybe pet by visitors. Barn mice and other small animals can be viewed. Goats reside in an open paddock which visitors can enter, and, for a price, feed the goats pellets from ice cream cones and milk from bottles, or brush them for free. This area is considered part of the Central Zoo and is located directly before the exit. The Wild Things Gift Shop at the exit was recently expanded.
This area also offers rides on a miniature train and pony rides.
Indonesian Rain Forest
The Indonesian Rain Forest features orangutans, tigers, Komodo dragons, reticulated pythons, clouded leopards, assorted birds, mammals, and primates, as well as a domed area (Domeaviary) containing birds, fish, reptiles, and, until recently, butterflies. The domeaviary allows visitors to experience the sights, sounds, and feel of a rain forest, along with a display of a skeletal display of an Asian elephant and a skull of a Sumatran rhinoceros. This area also has an Endangered Species Carousel.

In the tank around 2:00 there were blacktip reef sharks, a zebra shark, and the fish was some kind of grouper
Thanks for the info on the sharks and fish.
Very well done video. I've always really liked going to this zoo since I was a kid
Thank You, I try my best to show everything the zoo has to offer. I was most impressed with the zoo and it's selection of animals.
I got flu but Ur videos makes me feel better
I'm sorry you sick, I hope my vids help you feel better. 😷
Love the visit :d sweet zoo.
specially love the farm animals, they are not enougth preented in zoo i think, they deserve more as they are important for us.
also love the cockatoo, i used to have one exact same as the grey one with red cheeks :D i teach him to sing the music of "police academy" movie... and he used to sing the music every day at 11:30AM just to warn me to give him his sweets XD. (later on, i bought a female and they did an egg, but sadly the egg wasn't good and no fertile. But having an egg was such an amazing thing, the store i bought them told me that it is extremly hard to get egg from them :O)
I enjoy the farm animals too, so many different types of 🐐 and 🐔. Thanks for sharing your memory of your cockatoo. They are so smart, that's cool you taught it to sing the Police Academy 😆
I love the water splash but I get scared when it goes down
You gotta look away from it so it'll be a surprise.
I really enjoyed your visit. I made it there a few times, and I regret that we never went while I was growing up south of there.
My personal favorite is the Australian Walkabout Aviary. A little time and patience, and you can usually get some birds to come up to you. Africa was built while I was going, and it was a huge positive addition to the zoo. I wish the skytram went around it, but it is a nice relaxing trip.
One big change I saw was the otter habitat. It replaced a much, much smaller one that was strangely vertical. I am glad that they made that upgrade.
This is such a fanominal zoo, so much to see. They certainly have done a fantastic job of building new habitats and renovating older area's. I'm glad to hear you saw some positive changes during my tour. 😊
When are you going to hit the road again
Well with my last trip only a few weeks ago I'll try to get something scheduled around March.
What a nice zoo, our you going to visit any zoos or parks in the Pacific Northwest such as the Woodland Park zoo in Seattle and the Point Defiance zoo in Tacoma, and there is also the olympic game fame and northwest trek, at the fame farm you will come face to face with Bison and elk and yaks.
I am planning to visit the Northwest states in 2026. There are lots of zoos I want to see.
Animal adventure just had a rare white Joey Kangaroo born. Not an Albano it has black eyes. But the fur is all white. No other in the US found
Thanks for the heads up, I just watched the video on their Facebook page about him.
