We visited Black Pine in 2008 and loved it! The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly and love the animals. This is a sanctuary, not a zoo -- the animals are retired from show business or have been rescued or donated. Some of the stories are heartbreaking. It's wonderful that there are sanctuaries like Black Pine to take them in.... more

Anyone who loves animals will enjoy a visit to Black Pine Animal Park, but beware, it is a sanctuary and the animals come first and people second. The animals living there have either been abused, unwanted, or retired from the entertainment business. They include tigers, bears, lions, other smaller cats, primates, reptiles, and exotic birds.

This is a terrific park to visit. It's not very large, but worth the trip. All the animals are well cared for and seem very content. This is not a zoo, so you'll be up close to them, which made it that much better. more

Black Pine Animal Park is located a short, pleasant drive north of Fort Wayne in a small town called Albion. It's an adorable little town with a lovely courthouse, and the unique little sanctuary is worth the trip. Black Pine rescues exotic "pets" and retired performing animals. You'll see lions, tigers, bears, chimpanzees, birds, camels, snakes, all kinds of things!... more
