The Zoo is home to Red Panda Ridge named #6 in USA Today 10 Best Zoo Exhibits for 2024. In 2021, the Zoo was voted Visit Indiana\u2019s \u201cSummer Bucket List Top Attraction\u201d and is consistently named one of the nation\u2019s Top Ten Zoos for Kids by national media outlets.<\/p>\n<p>The Zoo is a conservation leader, investing nearly $275,000 annually in local, regional, and international efforts to protect wildlife and their habitats. The Zoo cares for more than 1,500 animals and participates in 41 cooperative species survival plan programs and 42 taxon advisory groups, which are critical to supporting threatened species.<\/p>\n<p>As a self-supporting facility, the Fort Wayne Zoo\u00a0receives no tax dollars for daily operations, unlike most accredited zoos where those dollars fund approximately 40% of their annual operating budgets.\u00a0 The Zoo&#8217;s mission is made possible thanks to support derived from admissions, memberships, donations, group picnics, special ticketed events, and other visitation-related activities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/four-sea-lions_frolic.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Our four sea lions frolic in the waters of Sea Lion Beach at the Fort Wayne Children&#039;s Zoo  Photo Courtesy of the Fort Wayne Children&#039;s Zoo.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='02c7e0dc471d6f0c66f6a7d681cba3fb' data-image-id=\"5379\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/four-sea-lions_frolic.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/thumbs\/thumbs_four-sea-lions_frolic.jpg\" data-title=\"Four Sea Lions frolic\" data-description=\"Our four sea lions frolic in the waters of Sea Lion Beach at the Fort Wayne Children&#039;s Zoo  Photo Courtesy of the Fort Wayne Children&#039;s Zoo.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Four Sea Lions frolic\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Four Sea Lions frolic\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"5379\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/thumbs\/thumbs_four-sea-lions_frolic.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/tiny_cassandra.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Tiny Cassandra follows Fishbone everywhere at the Fort Wayne Children&#039;s Zoo Photo Courtesy of the Fort Wayne Children&#039;s Zoo.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='02c7e0dc471d6f0c66f6a7d681cba3fb' data-image-id=\"5380\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/tiny_cassandra.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/thumbs\/thumbs_tiny_cassandra.jpg\" data-title=\"Tiny Cassandra follows Fishbone everywhere.jpg (1.07 MB)\" data-description=\"Tiny Cassandra follows Fishbone everywhere at the Fort Wayne Children&#039;s Zoo Photo Courtesy of the Fort Wayne Children&#039;s Zoo.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Tiny Cassandra follows Fishbone everywhere.jpg (1.07 MB)\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Tiny Cassandra follows Fishbone everywhere.jpg (1.07 MB)\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"5380\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/thumbs\/thumbs_tiny_cassandra.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/three_weeks_old.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"At three weeks old, Tuck quadrupled its weight since hatching.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='02c7e0dc471d6f0c66f6a7d681cba3fb' data-image-id=\"6001\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/three_weeks_old.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/thumbs\/thumbs_three_weeks_old.jpg\" data-title=\"Tuck at three weeks old\" data-description=\"At three weeks old, Tuck quadrupled its weight since hatching.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Tuck at three weeks old\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Tuck at three weeks old\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"6001\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/thumbs\/thumbs_three_weeks_old.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/zoo\/colobus_monkey1.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Colobus Monkey baby born at the Zoo with her mother.
