TownePlace Suites Fort Wayne North
Indoor pool and full kitchens near the children's zoo
Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne
About this stay
TownePlace Suites trades a downtown address for proximity to family attractions: the Children's Zoo sits 1.7 km away and Science Central 2.8 km, both easy short drives from the free parking lot. Rooms come with fully equipped kitchens and work desks, aimed squarely at travelers staying more than a night or two, and the indoor pool stays usable regardless of Indiana's weather swings. Fort Wayne Airport is the furthest local landmark at 16 km, so this suits a stay centered on the north side of the city rather than a quick in-and-out near the terminal. Pets are allowed, and the buffet breakfast covers the morning without a kitchen trip (a detail worth building into a family's daily rhythm).

- Full kitchens
- Pet-friendly
- Near Children's Zoo
Our take
Families anchoring a trip around the zoo and Science Central get the most from this location, with the indoor pool as a rainy-day backup. The full kitchen makes longer stays cheaper than eating out every meal. Anyone needing to be near the airport for an early flight should count on a real 16 km drive rather than a quick hop.
- Ask for a kitchen-facing room if cooking most meals, the layout varies by floor.
- Use the indoor pool in the evening, it runs quieter than the morning zoo-trip rush.
- Pack the dog's bed if traveling with a pet, the suites allow it with no fuss.
Why we love it
- 1.7 km from the Children's Zoo
- Indoor pool, weather-proof
- Full kitchen in every suite
- Free parking on site
Why guests love itThe kitchen turned out to be the real draw: after two zoo visits in one trip, cooking dinner in the suite instead of finding a restaurant with tired kids in tow was the better call both nights. The indoor pool filled the gap on the one overcast afternoon of the stay. The 16 km haul out to the airport on departure day took longer than expected, so building in extra time paid off (worth planning around for an early flight).
