Black Pine Animal Park in Albion, Indiana (just 35 minutes north of Fort Wayne) is a non-profit exotic animal sanctuary. We exist to give rescued former "pets" and retired performing animals a safe haven, and to educate people and enhance their knowledge of exotic and endangered species.

The sanctuary moved to an all-new 18-acre site in 2006 and re-opened in 2007. This beautiful country site is surrounded by native wildlife and a pine forest. Scattered throughout are animal habitats housing over 47 exotic and endangered species, including Bengal tigers, chimpanzees, lions, leopards, black bears, camels, birds, reptiles and more! Visitors are provided a truly unique opportunity to meet the animals up close, interact with zookeepers, hear personal stories of the animals' lives, and ask questions. A visit to Black Pine is an experience you'll not soon forget!

We believe that by allowing others to meet and observe the exotic animals in our care, we can plant a seed of awareness that can positively impact the conservation and preservation of exotic and endangered species around the world, as well as their natural habitats. Come visit, watch, listen and learn about these amazing creatures and how you can help ensure future generations can also enjoy them.

The park is open May through October with regular hours for general admission and guided tours. Guided tours, field trips, and special events are also offered year round. Parking is free, and the on site gift shop, offering a unique selection of gifts and souvenirs, is open when the park is. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy all day admission for one low price!
