We go to this zoo every year without fail. The habitats themselves are really an eye full. Seeing the animals in their habitats is amazing. We love the white bengal tiger. The Texas portion of this zoo is worth the trip.

This is a wonderful zoo! We seem to spend most of our time watching and laughing at the Meerkats and interacting with the birds. Take time to go through Raptor Canyon and look for the eagles on your way to Parrot Paradise. A few seed sticks for the kids to feed the birds, it never fails to please. The zoo is laid out nicely and you will be glad for the "mist stations" and shady areas.
My husband and daughter especially enjoy the herpetarium, but I must confess- the old building got me feeling quite claustrophobic. I cannot wait to see the new "Museum of Living Art" that opened recently ... even I might enjoy checking out things that slither this year!

We enjoy this zoo very much. There is something for everyone, in fact last year we bought a membership, which saves you a lot if you go often. They recently added MOLA, which is a living art museum, where the keep the reptiles. There are restraunts, but we enjoy packing a pinic lunch. There is also a train which you can ride back and forth, my 3 year old loves this.It is very clean and family friendly. I highly recommend it.

I grew up visiting the Ft. Worth Zoo and it is still fun today and I am 48 now! My daughter was raised visiting here as well. I must say as a toddler she enjoyed the kiddie car rides the most!

The exhibits are wonderful and the place is kept clean. Make sure to wear tennis shoes and take your camera.

Very fun zoo. My kids loved feeding the birds!
