What visitors say
This zoo needs some TLC. The petting narn was the best part of the Fort Worth Zoo as the remainder of our trip there was a let down. Broken interactions and the dining areas were very dirty.
Nice large zoo with lots of animals and activities. Special half price offer on Wednesdays makes it a definite must for a visit.
The zoo has done a great job of giving the littles a place to explore and interact with the anmials!
