Connecting kids and animals, strengthening families, and inspiring people to care. We are an AZA-accredited zoo. #fwzoo Connecting kids with animals, strengthening families, and inspiring people to care about the world around them – this is the mission of the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo and something that zoo staff members are proud to pursue every day. For over 50 years, the zoo has carried out this mission by providing innovative and engaging exhibits, fun animal encounters, and space for quality family interaction. We also present engaging educational programs to audiences both inside and outside the zoo campus. We strive to be the best children's zoo in the nation and serve our local community to the best of our ability, as we endeavor to provide an exemplary experience for each zoo guest.
