Parks
These are the best parks in or around the Fort Wayne area in my opinion! The ones that aren't technically in Fort Wayne are within a very close drive and worth it! And, the best part about parks is they are free!
This is hands down my favorite park in Fort Wayne! It has a covered area with tables and restrooms that are perfect for a picnic before (or after) the fun. It also has a great trail to walk and a nice large hill to run plenty of laps. Great for all a...
Parkview Family Park
Although this park is technically not in Fort Wayne, it is worth the short drive for a visit! They have a nice sized basketball court and I love the castle vibe of the play area! It also has a great swing area.
Cedarville Park
Again, this park is not technically in Fort Wayne, but it features a GORGEOUS scenery! The play area is definitely smaller compared to the other parks on this list if you have kiddos who love to climb and swing, but it does have a nice walking trail,...
Riverside Gardens Park
Kreager Park is a large and accessible park! They have a large splash pad area, and playground areas that are fun for toddlers and big kids!
Kreager Park
Shoaff Park is great for the whole family. It has a huge walking trail (great for a hot mom walk lol), a playground/splash pad, a golf course, as well as a disc/frisbee golf course! They also have pavilions available that are great for hosting events...
Shoaff Park
Budget-Friendly Fun
These are options that have some cost to them, but are very appropriately priced in my opinion! Some even have membership options that can give you an even better bang for your buck if you are a large family or plan on visiting multiple times!
My family absolutely adores the zoo! We personally purchase the membership so we can go frequently without the pressure of having to visit the entire zoo in one day! There is just so much to do and so many animals to see, and really is fun for everyo...
Fort Wayne Zoo
The Botanical Gardens is a very inexpensive, but fun experience! They have gorgeous scenery, as well as a few small designated play areas, but you are definitely going more for the experience with this one! They also have events throughout the year t...
The Botanical Conservatory
Science Central is a great way for your family to learn and have fun! They have several cool things to look at for the whole family, as well as a small toddler area designed specifically for little learners. They also hold many events throughout the ...
Science Central
Tickets to see a Tincaps game are fairly priced in my opinion and can be so fun if your family is into baseball, or just having a good time! And Parkview Field is a gorgeous stadium that helps make the whole experience fun as well!
Parkview Field
This one is definitely the best for your budget because it's free! The main branch library has THE best child area with a fun play/story time section, as well as random fun and cool seating options throughout. This branch is large and gorgeous, and h...
Allen County Public Library - Main Branch
Experiences/Every Once In A While Fun
These options might not be as budget friendly in my opinion, but are still great if you are looking for fun that anyone can enjoy!
Crazy Pinz is way more than just bowling! There's an arcade area, mini golf, go carts, laser tag, and more! Each attraction is fairly priced for what it is, but I list it in this section because the price can add up faster here between food and how m...
Crazy Pinz
They have golf, arcade, and go cart areas! Putt-Putt Fun Center is much like Crazy Pinz in a sense that the individual pricing for things to do is reasonably priced, but I'm listing it in this section because the pricing can definitely add up if you ...
Putt-Putt Fun Center
Sky Zone is definitely one of the more pricier things I've listed, but is such a fun place to have your family get some energy out and spend time together. It's not something that's as easy to do all the time, but they do have membership options that...
