A short half hour drive west is MU’s Fort Wayne campus and a bustling city of over 300,000 people. Fort Wayne is the second largest city in Indiana, second only to the state capitol, Indianapolis. Fort Wayne is a perfect escape for foodies craving specialty cuisines, public parks or museums, and tourism abounds because of the many festivals held annually. Fort Wayne also boasts the largest musical showroom in the nation at Sweetwater Sound and the fabled Johnny Appleseed is buried here. For those looking to take in an evening of sports, check out Fort Wayne’s minor league sports teams! The Mad Ants and Komets host basketball and hockey matchups in War Memorial Coliseum, and the Tin Caps play their baseball games at Parkview Field.
Theatre, artwork, houses of worship, off-the-rack shops and recreational facilities all call Fort Wayne their home. Whether you are up for evening coffee and dessert or out with a group for laser tag or even a local escape room, there is always something fun to do.
