Gonna be making a trip to Fort Wayne next Saturday to pick up a new bumper for my wife’s Kia. Anything we need to check out while we’re there? Food, sights, car related or not? Not gonna be spending too much time there since it’ll be a four hour drive each way but we’ll spend a couple hours getting lunch etc if anybody has suggestions. My carma has not been great the last month, wife scraped a Rubicon in a Starbucks parking lot, no damage to the Jeep but being the coldest day of the year her bumper just shattered. Then sitting parked with the ignition off taking my break in my work truck somebody rear ended me trying to park directly behind me, luckily the hitch saved me. And then dropping a bid off at a library in my personal car the lady in front of me decided to back up to get a pri mo parking spot and despite me laying on the horn just backed right into my front bumper, also minimal damage and it’s a $1000 car so not worth the bother but still very frustrating.

If you can find a way to make the time, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg museum north of Fort Wayne is absolutely worth it. You’re driving that far anyway, you might as well see some of the most beautiful cars ever designed!
In Fort Wayne itself there’s at least one place worth visiting to kill time: the botanical gardens.

As a resident here, it’s n ot the greatest time to visit - later spring/ summer/fall are much better times with great downtown minor league BB, an excellent children’s zoo, and lots of good parks and festivals . As mentioned below , the ACD museum is about 35 minutes north and worth the drive . If you have kids, Science Central near downtown is worth a look. There may still be outdoor ice skating downtown at Headwaters Park. In the down town area there are a lot of new breweries/brewpubs (but an older one, Mad Anthony’s, is still my favorite) - check out Promenade Park downtown to stretch your legs and have lunch and a beer at Trubble Brewing Riverside Cafe .
Which direction are you traveling from?

and I forgot to mention j ust outside Ft. Wayne Airport is a little park dedicated to the Indiana National Guard Base which has been the home station of the 122d Fighter Wing since 1952. I f you are into military aircraft, it’s a cool 20 minute walk-around!
