We went to Boot at the Zoo for the first time ever this year! It was great!!!! we chose to go the first night offered and we are so glad we did. No waiting in line for parking (the website says the wait could be up to an hour) and the park was not crowded at all. There were plenty... more

My family loves going to the Fort Worth Zoo. The setting for each animal is beautiful and the animals have room to roam about. There are Lions, Cheetahs and Gorillas among other fun animals to watch. The Texas Wild area features animals from Texas. I've gone with small children and its easy to get through with a stroller. You can... more

We visited the Fort Worth Zoo in late September. The weather was beautiful, and we had a really good time. This is a huge, beautifully landscaped zoo. There were animals everywhere, some I have not seen at any other zoo, and I have been to quite a few. They had a lot of birds. They had all three kinds of... more

I was surprised at what I encountered. The zoo is pretty doggone nice. I have been to better zoos. I have been to worse zoos above the price I paid. I think the FWZoo goes out of the way to make it nice there. I would go back. I was really impressed with the number of unique animals there. The... more

My kiddo and I regularly visit. Even in hot weather it is very shaded and beautifully landscaped. Even on high traffic days, the crowds are really spread out so it is never a problem. Our favorites are the meerkats and the silver backed Gorilla we call Big Daddy. Also, they have a great bird area where hundreds of birds fly... more

Parking is terrible, the layout is not family, stroller, or handicapped friendly.There are lots of steps with no ramp option. On a busy day you may be forced to park a mile away and there is no shuttle. It is an uphill walk to the park from parking. Water is 2.25 a bottle. Restaurant, restrooms, the little train, & merry... more

Took my family of 5 on a Monday afternoon. Huge crowd, though we were told by an official that it was actually a "light day". Most of the zoo is laid out in a straight line, so half the crowd is always trying to go against the other half as they return to the entrance/exit. Very difficult to see any... more

We have taken our family to many, many zoos across our country and have never enjoyed one as much as the Fort Worth Zoo. Stunning design with each exhibit thoughtfully and beautifully designed. The day we visited the animals were active and exciting to watch. To be honest, I thought my 17, 15, and 10 yr. old children would be... more

The Fort Worth Zoo is a must-see for zoo-loving families. Don't miss the white tiger (we were lucky; kitty paced for about 15 minutes up against a Plexiglass wall, affording us literal whisker-to-face time), the bird area and the African experience. Beautiful animal environments. Very clean, well kept facility. The only less-than-pleasant area was the penguin building, which smelled very,... more
