Very attractive and humane enclosures for the animals. Unique animals, pleasant walkways, trees and restaurants. Worth a half day.

we love this zoo. it is easy enough to get around that you could spend all day or just an hour there hitting the big attractions like Elephants, baby Rhinos & Lions. it can be crowded during the weekends and super hot during the summer. but its Texas.

For the cost of entry, this zoo is well worth it. I would advise that parking is at an additional cost. It would be nice to see parking fee as an option online. The exhibits were exceptional. I have visisted the san antonio zoo, the bronx zoo, san antonio zoo and the houston zoo. This zoo ranks amongst the best. The animals looked very healthy. The staff was very helpful. The zoo was clean and did not smell bad. The exhibits were constructed to resemble the natural habitats, which is a plus. At the rear of the zoo there is a small atraction which resembles the wild west, which in itself could have been an attaraction. Reminded me of wild west city, pennsylvania. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends.

The Fort Worth Zoo has a nice variation of animals, including an area for Texas species. It is laid out well, but you do have to backtrack to see all the exhibits. Be prepared to do a lot of walking, so I suggest wearing comfortable shoes. Food and drink prices are pricey like all similar attractions, but you can bring in your own meal. The zoo has made some improvements, so if you have not visited in a while you will find some new exhibits. Definitely go to the MOLA, which is an area for reptiles, fish, and amphibians. If you have kids, take them to the parakeet area to feed the birds. Seed sticks cost a dollar a piece. You will get great pictures! I suggest working your way from the entrance to the area called, "Texas Wild!" then taking the train back. It will let your tired feet rest and the kids will like going on the ride.
