I’m a big fan of this zoo, especially the penguins, sea lions, and otters. Appreciate the good food choices (not typical hamburger joints), the touch tank, and kid’s play areas. Definitely one of Fort Wayne’s top attractions.

Lakeside Park & Rose Garden

Reviewed By leed809 - Montreal, Canada

Just having a look to see what’s around the city for green space and came across lakeside park & rose garden really nice walk not far from downtown. A really nice arrangement of different roses lots of colours even in mid September everything is out in good bloom. There’s a lake you can walk around and seating just to enjoy the fountain and the flowers. There’s a parking lot or street parking is available.
