"One of the BEST Zoos"
I have been going to the Fort Worth Zoo for about 20 years. It has made massive improvements over this time and is ranked one of my FAVORITE zoos to go to of all times. With over 5,000 animals to see...there is plenty of entertainment. The zoo is clean and well layed-out. There are 12 permanent exhibits. The world of primates is the #1 reason you should want to visit the Fort Worth Zoo. Such a great exhibit. And what kiddo doesn't want to come up close and personal with a monkey or other primate. I also love the penguins. Be prepared to be wowed by the Fort Worth Zoo.

"We love the Fort Worth Zoo!"
This is our favorite zoo in the area. We go on Wednesdays which is great because it's half price day, but that does mean it is a little more crowded. The zoo is set out in an easy-to-navigate layout and we love how the animals seem to be in a familiar habitat (rather than just in cages and fences like some other zoos.) We like it because it's not huge--we go first thing in the morning and then make it home in time for naps.

"Beautiful Zoo but not the most kid friendly"
I really do like this zoo but I think that it is geared to more of an older crowd. The landscaping is so beautiful but it is designed in a way that smaller kids are not able to view the animlas very easily. You often have to pick them up so they can see the exhibit. Also the landscaping that they have done seems to make you have to walk longer then you would like to. There are so many trees and wooded pathways that it makes you have to weave around to get to each animal display. I recomend this zoo to people who have preteens and above.

"Fantastic Zoo!!"
Wow!! We really enjoyed this zoo!! It is so super clean and beautiful! The animals look like they are well taken care of which is always nice for the adults on the trip. The animal areas are all very nice and the animals are easy to see for even the tiniest of zoo travelers:) We went on a Wednesday which are half off admission making this a very affordable trip to the zoo!! If you are visiting this area this place is a must!!!

"The Best Zoo"
The Ft. Worth Zoo is on of the best zoo's in the nation. It's huge and the animals have nice habitats. I try to go every year when I visit my family back home. The fairly new MOLA exibit is great, the reptiles and amphibians have a much better home now! There are a lot of things geared towards kids. in the Texas area. They have a train too. This zoo has special meaning to me because my husband asked me to marry him here.

"Zoo Perfection"
The Fort Worth Zoo is what all zoo's aim to be. It's a great size - not too big, not too small. It's a good price for what you get. And what really impressed me is how clean it is. The layout feels orderly and I never got lost (something that happens a lot to me at other zoos). I wish I could go more often!

"Fun Fun Fun!"
This zoo is a blast! Prices are reasonable (even in the gift shop)! There are a lot of animals and they were easy to see even though it was 90 degrees the day we went. My DD loved it! I loved it! The park was clean, the staff was friendly! I can not say enough nice things about this zoo!

"Ft. Worth Zoo"
We visited the zoo during Spring Break. I had been here as a child and had fond memories of the vastness of the zoo. I was actually disappointed upon my return. The exhibits weren't all that special for what you would expect. The orangatan area was pretty cool with the large rock structure. However, we felt that the walkways weren't wide enough for the immense crowds and some of the viewing areas were too confined. The train was kind of ridiculous. It was a short ride that went behind buildings. The only animals you could really see were a longhorn, and some flamingos. Other than that you were looking at the event facility and back doors.

"Our favorite zoo"
We like this zoo a lot more than Dallas. We always find something new and exciting here and the Dallas Zoo seems to always be under construction where you can't see over half the exhibits. Last time we went to the Ft Worth Zoo there were lion and tiger cubs. It was a lot of fun to watch how playful there were. It just seems to me that the animals are always happier at this zoo and they are always playful.

"Love this zoo!"
The Fort Worth Zoo is a fantastic zoo to take the kids to! They have lots of different animals including elephants, lions, monkeys, zebra, reptiles, and many many more. There is also a little train that goes around the outside of the zoo- great for kids!

"Fort Worth Zoo - one of the nation's best!"
The Fort Worth Zoo is right in our backyard and is a great place to take kiddos to see God's creatures in a more natural habitat. If you can make it in the middle of the week, Wednesdays are half price admission! There is a Texas Wild section of the zoo that focuses on Texas-specific wildlife and what you can find in the different areas of the state. Very educational but a lot of fun, too!

"Fun with the Family"
The Fort Worth Zoo is a first-class attraction. Your family will go wild over this place, where you can get face-to-face with gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees at the World of Primates or watch eagles flying above and around you in Raptor Canyon. Step back into old-time Texas at a one-room schoolhouse, ranch house, and other buildings around which the deer and the antelope do play and the buffalo do roam. Stroll tree-shaded paths that wind around the grounds so you can see more than 5,000 exotic and native animals in natural-habitat exhibits. The kids will enjoy the Forest Park Train Ride (817–336–3328) at the zoo. Two ornate miniature trains carry passengers for 5 miles around Trinity and Forest Parks.
