At $13 per adult, this is a very entertaining and educational way to spend an afternoon. The remodeled African Adventure was beautiful. Unless you have children, you can avoid the ($2/pp) sky lift though. The walk around was a much nicer way to view the animals and exhibits. I loved the area where you can feed the giraffes and Bill... More

I absolutely love this zoo! I went many many times as a kid. I have told my boyfriend for years that I wanted to go to the zoo. We finally went and I did not tell him that it was a "children's" zoo. When we walked up he wasn't too thrilled when he saw that in the title, but by... More

I should have wrote this review years ago. It has a nice big layout, plenty of different animals to observe, great atmosphere for the whole family, plus a really expansive picnic area that is great to enjoy for lunch time... It has lots of stuff for smaller children to do: -A few rides -Pony rides -Feeding giraffes -Petting Zoo area... More

Took our 2yr old yesterday and had an amazing time! She absolutely loved the Great Barrier Reef exhibit, making us go back to see the "Jellies" 3 times! Spent the extra money for the Ride Pass, which we used on the river ride, train, and carousel. Had a few rides left on our pass, so we handed to a family... More

This is a very nice zoo! I was expecting a small zoo with few animals, but was surprised at the variety of animals that they had! I especially loved the peacocks that they had roaming free on the zoo grounds. We also went on the skylift on that was enjoyable as well.. Overall, a very nice zoo! Try it if... More

What a beautful jewel in Fort Wayne. While there are a lot of great things for the kids, such as the carasoul ride and goat yard to pet the brush the goats, there is tons for the adults and inner child in you to enjoy. The landscaping is so beautiful and relaxing. Pathways wind through the African Velt so see... More

The zoo has sooooo much to say about it. There is no good place to start, just go and experience it for what it is. You will be amazed at every turn.

this so is a great zoo with lots of great experiences. My own complaint is the amount of walking that has to be done to see it all. My kids both love it and we always go back. it is probably the best zoo I've been to.
