This Zoo is my favorite to go to eventually built it's own. The Ft. Worth zoo offers a variety of animals and plenty of shade. My favorite aspect is the "underground" aquarium view of the Penguins.

It’s an awesome zoo for kids of every age! Especially the activities around the zoo (Petting zoo , discover areas, information signs) are great to learn and explore.

Marcus Hiles

The Fort Worth Zoo is an excellent choice for a location to bring you friends and family. My family and I visited this park six months ago and our favorite exhibit was the tundra inspired ecosystem.

Kristina Hughes

One of my favorite zoos on the planet! Habitats are clean and feel very natural. Visited in the fall w/great weather for activity. Zoo is huge so get there early.

David Wallis

The best zoo around! Lots of places to sit. Good food, great souvenirs. And the animals look so happy.

Aaron Kinn

Get there when the zoo opens and go directly to the amazing bird enclosure . Buy a food stick and birds will swarm you to eat. If you don't get here until noon the birds are full!

Young Kween

Very clean for a zoo , staff us friendly and I love the variety of animals they have :)

R F

Great zoo with a great price. The animals were actually active during this visit (Sunday afternoon). The orangutans were very friendly and played catch with us. Food was average, typical for a zoo .

Sharon Allen

We had a great time. Try to get here as early as possible and bring a cooler with drinks & snacks

Sondus Ata

Love how they organized that place ... it need minimum 3 hours to take a full tour and enjoy all parts

Melissa Perkins

This is by far the best zoo . They had blocks of ice in the areas to keep the animals cool.

Chaz Branch

Half price Wednesdays! If you buy online and cannot print the confirmation, just open it on a smartphone and zoom to the barcode. The park readers will scan it!

Alicia Lynch

Oh how fun. Even in the rain we had a blast seeing all the animals and the baby elephants are so cute ! And you don't realize how big it actually is until you get in there!

Wendi McClendon

Don't miss the "parrot" paradise- really parakeets and cockatiels- spend a little on seed sticks, but DoNot let your kids be the ones holding them right when you walk in. Birds flock to them crazily.

Moira Brunken

Wonderful zoo with lots of shade and well taken care of animals.

Dawn Guerrero

If you go in the spring, you will get to see almost every animal they have to offer. Summer & winter are not the times you want to visit

Sky Schoggins

Everything is great. This is one of my favorite zoos in the world.

Mya Howe

Clean , interesting, not too time consuming (3hrs to tour ), and somewhatt cheap (about $15 per adult).

Tim Haynes

I would suggest that the zoo catch the thousands of honey bees at the garbage can and put them on display in a honey comb!!! Or they could make the bees check their stingers at the gate. Just sayin'

Deimos

Great Biome recreations , clean facilities , superb staff . This zoo is world class !

Diana G.

went on half price Wed, perfect for my family of 6. This zoo will definitely not disappoint! loved it & will go again:)

Valentin Marquez III

Absolutely love this zoo , hands down best zoo around. Bird cage walk in is awesome.

Jeff Dixon

Great zoo . Big enough to use the train back, thank God! A big hit with my son! Wouldn't advise a winter trip, lots of the best animals are keeping warm out of site!

Fort Worth Zoo at 19 minutes drive to the north of Sycamore Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

Steph Franco

Bring your own water/drinks if you can, all the walking works up a thrust and can end up getting costly buying waters!

Mike D

Hey don't you dare turn your back on me you big ape! ???? monkey butt humor is zoorific!!!

Batya Seguin

So much fun with the whole family. Still feel sorry for the animals being confined.

Lance Beechwood

Great fun! The zoo is big with lots too see.

Great for seeing giraffes ???? you can buy some salad and feed them. It’s 6 bucks for 3 pieces of salad...overpriced I think. - Ju Le
