Summer Fun in Fort Wayne
Get away to Fort Wayne this summer!
Families love Fort Wayne, Indiana - one of Indiana’s best cities for summer fun!
Every visit starts at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo - consistently named one of the top zoos in the nation! You can enjoy a ride in every part of the zoo (from a sky ride, to a log ride to a train excursion!) and experience great animal experiences (feed a giraffe, pet a stingray, stroll among kangaroos!). Learn more about the Zoo's opening and admissions policies here.
Families will want to head downtown to see the Midwest’s newest attraction: Promenade Park at Riverfront Fort Wayne. Promenade Park offers innovative experiences for your family - including a tree top canopy trail, hands-on kids canal, restaurants, accessible park and more. Boat rentals also offer families the opportunity to get out on the water to explore this natural urban experience. Explore our rivers by canoe and kayak with these easy river itineraries.
