Some of these stations include take-home activities while others will be completed at the Zoo, but each one has a cool\/gross twist to keep it interesting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrossology gives guests a chance to see the unusual things animals do in a new perspective,\u201d Smith said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s lots of fun!\u201d<br \/>\nGrossology activities are free with paid Zoo admission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Fort Wayne Children\u2019s Zoo<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Fort Wayne Children\u2019s Zoo is northeast Indiana\u2019s largest tourist attraction, hosting more than 600,000 guests annually.
