ABOUT THE ZOO

Our Mission:
Connecting kids and animals
Strengthening families 
Inspiring people to care

The Fort Wayne Zoo is northeast Indiana’s largest tourist attraction, hosting more than 600,000 guests annually. 

As an AZA-accredited zoo, we are a conservation leader, contributing annually to local, regional, and international efforts to protect wild animals and habitats. The Zoo cares for more than 1600 animals and participates in 63 cooperative species survival plans.

As a self-supporting facility, Fort Wayne Zoo receives no tax dollars for operations.  The Zoo’s operations are funded entirely by earned revenue and donations.
