This is my favorite zoo. It is indeed underrated. It is so well themed and immersive. It is also clean, affordable, and easy to explore the whole zoo, including breaks, meals, and rides, in one day. They also are always adding things, this summer a new red panda exhibit and a ropes course coming in the fall.

I remember visiting the Ft.Wayne zoo when i was younger didn't really remember much of the zoo.So for the 4th of July i deiced to visit the zoo. I had fun wasn't to hot and humid to walk around the zoo mild weather. love the sting ray exhibit seeing the rays glide past you in the aquarium,i liked when some of the rays would come next to you to let you touch their smooth rubbery skin. The Ft.Wayne not a bad zoo for kids and adults to get out and interact with the animals the Ft.Wayne I've been to few zoo that aren't as good as the Ft.Wayne .

Fort Worth Zoo is getting African Leopards in its upcomping expasion in 2023 called the Hunters of Africa and Asia, they specifically listed the African Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) and not the Amur Leopard(Panthera pardius orientalis) so that is really cool, Houston Zoo has one as recently as 2016 but in my 2018 and 2021 visits the African Leopard was gone from Houston

Oh god, Zak is making his own documentary's now... Anyway love the episode! Keep it up!

Impressive... most impressive. It's great to see the animals getting a lot of space to roam. I love the way that kopje section is set up, definitely going to steal that idea for Planet Zoo. And this ended up being a very educational episode! I didn't know about the symbiotic relationship between warthogs and mongooses, or about the scarcity of African leopards/abundance of Amur leopards in captivity. It's good that the critically endangered species is getting more focus.

African Savannah Is my Favorite Place

I'm honestly very much surprised on how underrated this exhibit is. Many US zoo's African themed exhibits suffer from bare, dry savannah habitats and having the same old boring species over and over again. Most of the exhibits here is lush and full of life, and had a perfect balance of popular animals (Giraffes, Zebras, and Lions) and unique ones (Mongoose, Sitatungas, and many bird species outside of Ostriches). It may not have a lot of staple popular african animals (Rhinos, Elephants, or Hippos), but seriously, this exhibit really needs a lot of recognition from how immersive and unique it is compared to many African themed exhibits of US zoos.

Great video! I’m heading to the Saint Louis Zoo in October!

great videos I love how you put the size of the exhibits. Great job!

@Zoo Tours 7:57 I love the lions because it's my number one favorite animal and I've watched one of my favorite Disney movies called "The Lion King". 🦁👑

Now I really want to check this out! Nice job as always, Zach. P.S. My favorite lion exhibit is the one at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Agreed it’s one of the nicest I’ve seen

As a person that also likes to go to zoos, thanks to you I’ll add Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo on my list

Very Interesting! I live slightly over 1 hour drive away from Ft. Wayne but in my 50+ years of living have never visited this zoo:-( Live in Ohio and frequent Columbus and Cincinnati zoos which are actually farther away. I had NO IDEA how large this zoo is. I always imagined when hearing "Children's zoo" it was more of a small petting zoo. BOY WAS I WRONG! YOU REALLY SOLD THIS ZOO FOR ME! THANKS!

Indeed the best till now

Love your videos keep up the good work!

I just found this channel like 2 weeks ago and I'm addicted! But i would love to see you go to edmonton valley zoo, its not the best but it holds a special place in my heart. But i understand if you don't see this and you don't want to due to the lucy controvercy and being in canada lol.

Nice I was there once with my cousin and aunt pretty cool place

Wonderful video.

Great Video!

I live a few minutes from this zoo and it's really worth visiting if you are in the area

The leopard enclosure sounds WAY too small.

@@andrewb6194 it is on the small size, but I wouldn't say way too small. 1,500-3,000 square feet is rather standard for an amur Leopard in the AZA, especially with proper height.

@@neilchace1858 perhaps, but it is important to note that leopards still do need some space. In the wild, there territory’s can range up to 20 miles (though it’s typically under that). So they wouldn’t need an enclosure as large as what a lion would need, but still something sizable (I’d say an acre minimum) I’d still say something like what Yorkshire Wildlife Park or Bjørneparken is the best ways to go. Tons of vertical and horizontal space, but there’s many ways you can go about it!

I wanna say the country’s largest lion exhibit is at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (which if you get a chance would be awesome to see) but I could be mistaken

You know, if you're going through Ohio, there is a pretty small zoo that's part of the Dayton Childrens Museum/Natural History Museum that might be worth an episode.

Congratulations on 13k subs Zak! Will you be doing any other tours of this zoo?

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful content with us, you guys doing great , stay connected. Welcome to my channel

My favorite lion exhibit is at the columbus zoo

Yeeeeeeeeey

If you liked the giraffes you gotta see the Cheyenne mountain zoo in Colorado Springs

Swell! Is this Episode 104? Also, visit the Woodland Park Zoo, Sacramento Zoo, Oakland Zoo, San Francisco Zoo, Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Monterey Bay Aquarium, SeaWorld San Diego, & Disney's Animal Kingdom someday! Thundering Triceratops!

Very impressed with the plains exhibits. The primates and small carnivore exhibits are a little small and basic tho.

giraffes 🦒😍😍

Answer: Either Bronx Zoo or Columbus Zoo.

Amazing video!!

I want to go to this zoo

And the answer for the trivia is san diego safari park

When you were at the giraffes you said this is not a petting zoo.The Cheyenne mountain zoo is a petting zoo people think I saw people petting girrafes koi fish and kangaroos

I'm not a big fan of that Savanna exhibit. It's not that they need more species, but it wastes space to only have species very common in zoos in such a large exhibit.
