A small, but beautiful art museum.
I love taking my son here! The plants and exhibits are gorgeous and a great learning experience for both of us.
The Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is our favorite place to be over the summer! We are extremely lucky to be members.
It's baseball season! Make sure to grab tickets for a TinCaps game while you're in Fort Wayne ⚾
Science Central is fun, colorful, & educational place for the whole family! It's great for kids and for adults to feel like a kid again.
Glenbrook Square Mall is one of my go-to places to take my son on a rainy or cold day. There's room for him to run, great play areas, and food and shopping for me (if he lets me)
I've been going to Shoaff Park for the last 9 years and it never gets old. With trails, tennis, golf, a playground, and more; it's perfect for everyone.
I HIGHLY recommend driving a little outside of Fort Wayne to check out the Black Pine Animal Sanctuary.
Salomon Farm Park is a public park in Fort Wayne with farm animals, farmers markets, and a sunflower field. It's actually where I got married!
This is my favorite movie theater because of the RECLINING SEATS!
The Allen County Public Library is a world of free resources! From books, to genealogy, to an amazing children's playroom, there's something for everyone here.
There is so much to do at Promenade Park in Downtown Fort Wayne! My favorites are the Treetop Canopy Trail & the playground.
The Landing is a newer addition to Fort Wayne! Head here for food, shopping, and beautiful murals.
