We recently as a family got to make a trip to Fort Wayne, Indiana. If you are from Chicago, it’s about a 4 hour drive for you (easily done in a day). It’s a small town (compared to Chicago, that is), but they were so welcoming, and we found plenty of things to do there!
- Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo
This has to be one of the best Children’s Museums we;ve been too. There was so much to see and do here! They had rides (you had to get tokens for these so there is an extra expense) too. We fed the giraffes and learned about the Tasmanian devils. We easily spent an entire morning here with my 11 and 14 year old. - Science Central
The kids had a blast at Science Central . It’s exactly what you’d expect. The place is full of science experiments that your kids can do. They are learning and having fun! The day we were there they were expecting rain, so this was a great way to stay dry! - Greekfest
If you happen to be in Fort Wayne when Greekfest is there, I highly recommend you check them out. We had some amazing food, heard some amazing music, and really had a great time! - Yummi Bunni
This place is a must stop place in Fort Wayne. I have never seen anything like these sandwiches before, and we loved them so. Basically, you have a donut. Then you choose what flavor ice cream you want with which toppings you want. As you can see, everybody got a little something different. We devoured them all! - Tin Caps Baseball Game
The TinCaps baseball park is impressive. They have a great team here, and we’d love to come back and support them! I highly recommend checking out one of the games if they are in town playing!
As you can see, we had a great time in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I highly recommend you check them out in your are in the neighborhood. There is plenty to see and do. I just barely touched the iceberg of things to do — you can also visit the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, the Botanical Conservatory, etc. We just ran out of time on our weekend adventure.
What would you like to go see in Fort Wayne, Indiana?

I love Fort Wayne! I would love to see a ball game there. We love minor league ball. I saw some new things to do next time I am there!
Some good friends of mine just moved there! I am going to have to share this post with them so they can start getting familiar with it. Great posts! There seems to be a lot of fun places to explore.
Thanks for this info. We love visiting zoos in every city we go to! And we love Greek food! And a good science center. I had no idea there was so much to see in Fort Wayne, thanks!
I’ve never been to Fort Wayne before, but you had me at the GreekFest!! I’m not Greek, but I love love LOVE greek food! Also you can’t go wrong with a good ole baseball game!
I love family vacations! My kids would totally love to visit that science center. And I would so love to taste those donut/ice cream sandwiches! Yum!
Fort Wayne looks like a great place to visit. It is amazing how many cool places there are in the US that we just don’t know about because they aren’t advertised.
My son would love to go to thaybscience museum. It’s right up his alley!
Fort Wayne sounds like a pretty fun place! I have not been to a zoo in ages!
Now that is a neat place to check out! I have not been through Indiana in so many years.
I’ve never been to Indiana before. I’ll have to go, these look like some fun activities. That food looks amazing.
I did not realize Indiana is so close to Chicago! I always enjoy exploring museums when travelling 🙂
So much to do and so many yummy treats. This would be so much fun for my family to visit.
So much to do! Those “sandwiches” look amazing. My kiddos would love those! We will have to make a trip and check it.
Such a great place to visit with the kids especially since there’s a lot of things to do there! I really like the Zoo and the Science Central!
I couldn’t get past the donut ice cream sandwich. I want to make one of those at home since we live too far away.
That zoo with rides sounds quite amazing. My kids and I haven’t been to the zoo in ages. Sounds like Fort Wayne has interesting places for the whole family.
I have only ever driven through Indiana but haven’t stopped. I would love to visit Fort Wayne one day!
