    The animals are very well taken care of and the staff keep the place nice and clean. Some sections are under construction but the place is so big you have more than enough to explore!

    We had a wonderful family experience at the Fort Worth Zoo! 🦁🐘🦒

    It’s a great place to spend a full day with the family, especially with kids. There are so many different animals to see, and the exhibits are well maintained and enjoyable for both children and adults. The zoo is spacious, and there is plenty to explore, so it feels like a real adventure rather than just a quick visit.

    Our kids especially enjoyed seeing the elephants, giraffes, lions, and other animals up close. 🐘🦒🦁 It was also a great opportunity for them to learn about wildlife while having fun.

    Overall, we had a fun, memorable family day at the Fort Worth Zoo. If you’re looking for a family-friendly activity in the Fort Worth area, I would definitely recommend it! ❤️

    We had such a wonderful time celebrating our son’s third birthday at the Fort Worth Zoo! It was the perfect place to spend the day as a family, and our boys had an amazing time exploring everything the zoo has to offer.

    The highlight of the day was definitely feeding the giraffes! It was such a fun and memorable experience, and seeing the excitement on our kids’ faces made it worth every minute. The zoo is beautiful, clean, and easy to navigate, with plenty of shaded areas and family-friendly attractions.

    The only downside was that quite a few animals weren’t in their exhibits during our visit, which was a little disappointing since there were a few we were really looking forward to seeing.

    Even with that, we had a fantastic day making birthday memories with our family. The Fort Worth Zoo is still one of our favorite places to visit, and we look forward to coming back again.

    We love the zoo so much that we became members. So many great animals for my 1.5 year old to enjoy. We love going when it opens at 10am to get the front parking lot. Or else you end up having to park in their overflow lot which has a little more of a walk. We also love their splash pad for the summer. Only complaint I have about the splash pad is that the 5+ year olds take over the toddler section and get rowdy and knock over the littles. Wish there was better separation.

    This is one of the best zoos in Texas and totally worth the visit with kids.

    The zoo has over 7,000 animals and so much to do. Our kids loved the petting zoo, the giraffe feeding experience, and the Safari Splash water area — perfect for hot Texas days. The ape and reptile exhibits were amazing too!

    The place was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate with kids. Strollers are available to rent right at the entrance which is very handy. Daily shows and animal keeper talks keep the little ones entertained throughout the day.

    Pro tip — visit on Wednesdays for half-price tickets and arrive early so you catch the animals when they are most active!

    Overall a fantastic day out for the whole family. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the DFW area. We will definitely be coming back! 🦒🐘🦁

    If you’re looking for a family-friendly zoo in Texas, this is it. The shade coverage is unbeatable, keeping everything lush and comfortable. They have a wonderful variety of animals, including some incredible endangered species.

    For those with little ones: the toddler area and carousel are fantastic additions that kept my daughter entertained for hours. Also, do yourself a favor and rent a stroller it made our day so much easier! Between the well-maintained exhibits and the informative staff presentations, it’s a perfect educational outing. The giraffe feeding is also a huge plus! Be prepared to walk more than the usual and it will take the whole day to get through the whole zoo!

    We visited the Fort Worth Zoo this past Friday while Sloan was out of school for Easter, and it was such a great day to be there. The weather was beautiful, and the entire experience felt easy, fun, and well worth it.

    We have a membership, and honestly, it feels essential if you live nearby or plan to visit often. It saves money over time, gets you into the park with ease, and comes with added perks like discounts and special access on member days. It just makes the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable.

    The zoo itself is always clean, well-organized, and full of things for the kids to enjoy. The girls had a great time, and it’s one of those places we can keep coming back to without it ever getting old.

    Great animal collection. Try to arrive early (9-9:15am) on a Wednesday to save money. 5$ parking can also be bypassed by parking just outside the designated zone.

    This was a great zoo! One of the best that I have been too. The exhibits had animals that were out and easy to see. Parking was $5 and plentiful. This a must place to take the family when visiting Fort Worth.

    We had a good experience. Somehow we didn’t get charged for parking which is generally 5 dollars.
    We walked the whole Zoo in about 2 hours. It wasn’t as big as I anticipated it to be.
    20 bucks per person for admission.

    I see this is one of the top zoos in America?? Hmm not sure I feel that is an accurate assessment. It’s really not that large and there isn’t THAT many animals

    Lots of Animals! Had a great time! The new Predators exhibit was great with Lions, Tigers, Hyenas, and Leopards. The Zoo had come a long way and you even feel like you’re in a real jungle. Also the lions used to be hard to view, but with the new enclosure, you can see them easily!

    It has been a wonderful experience. Seeing all these cute animals so close has been wonderful. Perfect to enjoy a good time with the family and treasure some memories. What if I recommend it to you? Of course, the kids will love it. recommendations? You can go on Wednesdays, it's half price. You can bring an umbrella and your own water if you wish.

    It is a very nice place, I really liked it and my daughter was excited about the animals. Although we couldn't see some of them due perhaps to the cold weather, we still enjoyed it. The giraffes are excellent... it is a little big so we walked around it for about 3 hours. everything went pretty well! I would definitely go again.
