Well so far just getting into park is a bust. We reserved tickets for 10am, and it is 1030 and we havent even made it in yet to park. Not sure why it is so slow other than the booth for parking?More to come once we get inside.parking More? Well only 2 booths and three lanes coming in from 2 directions. Now once inside, everything flowed very well, never seemed.crowded. all the animals were out. Very impressed, the habitats were clean and marked well. Easy to get around. Cant wait to come back.

We were super excited to visit the Zoo this summer. How beautiful are the flamingos! Sad we ran out of time before seeing the Stingray exhibit. The Reptile exhibit was AMAZING.. Could have spent the entire day in there. So mesmerizing.

A decent sized zoo. This zoo had a very detailed amphibian / reptile exhibit. There were more birds and amphibians than mammals. The penguins were adorable. There werent many food options currently but you could bring your own food. You have to wear a mask to walk inside but the place isnt too crowded and is manageable. They handled the Covid epidemic quite well. A good 3-4 hour visit overall and quite enjoyable.

Absolutely love the Fort Worth Zoo! In my opinion it is the best zoo! Always is kept very clean and well kept. The staff is nice. I have been going to this zoo for years and I love it!!

They need filtered fountains for kids to run through... its Texas heat.... just sayin. But still the only zoo to go to in DFW area due to the accessibility to see the animals. You can feed the giraffes for 6$ a head of lettuce (kinda pricey, but worth it if you cut them in half). Feed the giraffes first and enjoy the Savannah, feed the birds in the the bird cage ($1?), see the gorillas, jump on the bouncy bridge on the other side of the Zoo, and check out the sea otters which did laps back and forth along the glass when we went. Sometimes its just a be there at the right moment and you will get amazing views of the animals. If its too hot, the animals could be in the shade. If its a little cooler, they will be out. Still the only Zoo to visit in the DFW. Great Zoo. Cant wait for it to get warmer again to go.

What a fantastic zoo. Ive been to zoos all over the country and this one is right up in my top 5. It is clean the animals are very well taken care of and the staff is very knowledgeable.

Great zoo! Great atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Feel like you are in the wild yourself. Great variety of animals and close up experiences, through glass or up close and personal. Takes about 2-3 hours at minimum depending how long you view animals. Most will ask, Dallas or Fort Worth? If I had to pick one, I would pick Fort Worth. Both are great but Fort Worth has more to offer and little better experience. My only downside is the expected one, the price for food and drinks... $4 plus tax for a soda drink or bottled water. And of course food, including candy is jacked up.*Pics of some animals included in post*

Nice variety of animals at this zoo. The habitats are very nice and interaction by feeding the animals is available to some of them. The Texas area is unique and picturesque.

Im a Fort Worth local and its Always a nice visit here. The new additions are going to be great. Alot has changed since my visit last year. Good changes.Great zoo!

It was a great day. Staff is very helpful and attentive. We got tickets ahead of time and it was fun. The Splash Pad is a wonderful addition since the last time we visited! Especially on a hot July day! If you go on half price Wednesday or the weekend expect it to be busier than usual for obvious reasons.

Fort Worth to do is often rated in the top five zoos of the nation. There is a reason why. When the zoo is expanding and making habitats better for all of the animals its creating a welcome space to view the animals. Are there educational sessions all day long for the public as well as classes that are taught by zookeepers. Even in the heat of the day in Texas there is shade to walk in. From Africa to Texas habitats the viewing of the animals is amazing. Zookeepers are readily handy to to educate as well as give little bits of information about the animals and their habitats. Even with construction going on the zoo is a phenomenal place. You can bring in your own food and drink as well as purchase things there. The zoo is well laid out and you never at what seems like a lull between the exhibits.

Nice size zoo. Some of the animals were off exhibit, but still lots to see. Good value. Clean, covid compliant. Not very many food options open currently, but you are allowed to bring in your own food.

So many different animals to see and the giraffe feeding was amazing! We got there in the morning a little before opening and were able to get parking right in front. Stood in line for about 10 mins and then got right in.

Labor day weekend and its in the 90s and the Dippin dots and all of the snack stands are closed. Only 3 food places were open. The pens for the animals were small, especially the small penguins. Overall experience was a 2, but the animals raised it to a 3. Good variety of animals and trails were nice.

It was extremely good, according to my 12yo grandson. There was alot to see and do. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Easy to get to and loved the variety and set up.

First time being to a zoo in a long time, but I can definitely see why the Fort Worth Zoo holds the #1 spot.Everyone was super friendly, and as clean as you can manage while understaffed from Covid.Animals all looked well fed and any animal that could/ was meant to be touched was super friendly.Am definitely considering becoming a member so that I can visit more often.(Not to mention as an AZA facility, this zoo focuses on consevationalism and is non-profit, which makes me feel better about spending money there.)

We love this zoo, we have a membership here too, masks are required, but they do 0 enforcement, so many people are here without masks, very disappointing

The hardest part of this experience is the wait and traffic just to get into this zoo. If you arrive early before your reservation time and try to go in, you will be asked to come back few minutes before your allotted time as it happened to us. I liked how there were plenty of spots to picnic at. If you’re a germaphobe and a social distance freak, this probably isn’t the place for you on the weekend as it’s packed and the exhibits are a tad bit small.

We had some free time on a trip to Fort Worth so decided to spend some time here. It was hot (August 2020) but there was plenty of shade and lot of animals to see. Our favorite was feeding the birds and the giraffe. Easy place to spend 2-3 hours.

Fort Worth Zoo is located in Fort Worth Area, Texas, USA near Fort Worth International Airport. This zoo was opened for public in 1909 and No.5 ranked in North America and also the oldest one. Total area is 64 acres. There are huge collections of animals, birds, reptiles and mammals. Lots of exhibitions also organize inside the located area. Friendly Staffs, Nice and Peaceful area, Reasonable Tickets Price for age groups, selections of cafeteria, Gift Shop. Better spend time with kids, friends and families.

Animals seemed happy and where active. Delicious snow cones to help cool down and nice restaurants around in the zoo... Was kinda crowded.. We went on a Saturday.. Overall experience was good and my son had fun

Good time but mask ARE REQUIRED AND IVE SOOOO MANY PEOPLE WITH OUT THEM!!! And no staff tells them anything

This a was a surprise hit. Even though its 96 degrees and a little humid we all enjoyed this zoo. I was told about this once we arrived in Arlington and I am glad we went. Even though the big cats were sleeping mid-day, we saw all the other animals we wanted to see. We even fed a baby giraffe! Great place to visit if you are ever near Dallas-Fort worth area.

Even with the virus social distancing, its a nice place to spend a few hours. Animals and enclosures are well maintained, the exhibit trails are better laid out than in years past so you can see everything in one loop without backtracking.

Granted we got our membership when we just moved here about one month pre-pandemic I can’t help but think how poorly overall the zoo has done with covid precautions. There are people at the gate who tell people they must wear masks and that’s where it ends. Theres hordes of human garbage walking through the park doing whatever they want to do without masks calling people who wear them, per the orders of their very Governor, sheep. So not only is the zoo unimpressive and most of the exhibits lack animals, you’re actually being harassed by the trash that live around here while you attempt to mind your business and entertain your one year old. Super great. Will never frequent this zoo again. Ever.

I feel like some of the most recent reviews are unfair because we go at least twice a week in the mornings (we have a membership), and a huge chunk of the zoo is open with almost all of the animals out and about. The only animals that are sleeping when we go are the big cats and hyenas. This is the best zoo, and we live really close, so were thankful we get to go quite often. I suggest anyone that wants to experience the zoo without big crowds go during the weekdays right when they open. There are even times we dont see anyone at an exhibit for a couple minutes, so we have that whole time to chill and enjoy. Staff is friendly. I always see people cleaning. The amphibian and reptile center is open indoors. Petting zoo is open, and you have to clean your hands and they have a # limit of people to enter. Its freaking hot because its Texas during the summer, but it is what it is. They have a splash pad area, if you want to go stay cool (you have to pay). Like any attraction area, prices are a little inflated for food and some experiences, but if you plan to visit once, its worth it. Such a great zoo, and its definitely our top thing to do with our kid.

Awesome. There were hand washing stations & sanitizer. All employees had on mask. Some exhibits were closed but its still great to visit

One of the best Zoos I saw in recent years. It is bigger and better than Dallas Zoo. It has almost all animals from Lions, Tigers to Insects, Reptiles. Elephant area is under construction, so elephants are not there.It also has small train for observations. Has enough restaurants and cafes for food. Also, some areas are designed with themes like Texas Ranch, African Safari.

I have fond memories of going to this zoo with my son a few years ago. I was visiting DFW this weekend and brought my daughter this time around. The park vendors are not out, there are no shows, and the COVID-19 rules that they have posted on signs around the park are not being enforced. There were crowds of people at the exhibits and although the zoo has marked the spots where people should stand with yellow tape on the floor, people are not using them, and employees are not enforcing it. The signs posted around the park say face masks and 6 ft distancing are requirements, but it seems like they are just there for legal purposes. The animal exhibits are interesting and it was good to have my daughter experience seeing the animals. I just wish the safety measures were better enforced, since children are not required to wear face masks and people were sneezing and coughing without face masks.

Dont remember last time I attended this zoo, but decided to go after hearing it was rated the #1 Zoo in America. It has and is in the process of expanding its already natural large animal pens, and has everything from exotics to every day farm animals. Many things make this zoo worth the trip in, but notably, its themed animal viewing areas including animals specific to Texas, African Safari, swamp, walk through Aviaries, etc. I do have some Cons: Zoo hours currently are restricted to just 7 hours daily and have to purchased online, which is fine, but the web site was down due to traffic hits so actually had to drive to the zoo to get them. Tix for adults are $16 + $5 parking. All shows, and many of their specialty areas were not operating. Train ride was limited to a certain number people due to social distancing measures. 20oz water was outrageously expensive. I certainly want to give this another try, but probably will wait until their attractions are fully operational. Experience despite the cons was good.

Had such a great experience during my last visit to the zoo. I reserved tickets for Wednesday morning at 10 for my husband, myself, and our toddler and got in right away. The crowds were limited which allowed us to move through steadily AND see all the animals we wanted. Can’t wait to come back!

Pretty cool to try the zoo during a pandemic, I love how they enforce wearing masks, but I would have love to see more hand washing or sanitation stations. Other than my family really has fun.

Visited on labor day, like 90+ degrees . . . and they had closed all but about 2 of their ice cream and cold drink stations WHAT?! Other than that the visit was pretty great. I look forward to seeing the new elephant area when thats done. Bathrooms were gross - but theyre bathrooms. Food options seemed pretty limited, but the workers were friendly and helpful.

Ive been going to this zoo for 44 years. This zoo is easily one of the best zoos in the country. The additions and renovations over the years have been very beneficial to the animals. As a fan of herpetology, MOLA is the best exhibit Ive ever seen. Texas Wild is a very close second. For anyone visiting from out of town, this zoo is a must see.

It was such a great experience! The staff was friendly and helpful. The restrooms were clean. Above all the scenery was amazing.

Its absolute fantastic spot for a whole day. We entered at 11 and it has two routes the best fun place starts from right side road which goes to African Savannah and Asian falls where you see lion and other wild animals. They geographically distributed the park which is the best part. Australian, American, African asian.. much more.. I feel there should be more feed and feel .. otherwise its absolutely fantastic. Love it

I have been to many zoos in different cities. This is by far the most beautiful zoo I have ever been to. I look forward to seeing the completion of the Elephant exhibit. They handle all of the corona virus precautions very well. We look forward to going back many times in the future.

We went there today, for the 1st time having heard it was a great zoo. The overall landscape and habitat design are quite refreshing, and serves a good purpose of education. HOWEVER, there were tons of people in the zoo and it’s unbelievable. Was there any capacity regulation? Because there were so many, it was difficult to maintain 6-feet distance in many exhibit areas, let alone quite a fraction of people did not wear masks!!!! This really lowered the viewer experience. Hope the zoo will do better in the times of pandemic.

Great last minute outing to the Fort Worth Zoo on Christmas day. Admission was still half price as it was Wednesday. $8 for adults, $6 for children, $5 for parking charger. Elephant exhibit is currently under construction. Should open in Spring 2020. All special attractions and restaurants were closed. However there are several vending machines throughout the zoo for candy and drinks. Thinking of feeding the giraffes? Be prepared to pay $6 for three leafs of romaine lettuce. I loved that all the animals were out and visible. Maybe its because I generally visit in the summer time. I love the updates and the open concept.

I love the place! Buttt honestly no social distance. Place was very busy and no cleaning stations anywere. The carrusel kids and parents going in with no cleaning in between at all. Come on , you guys need to do better than this for the health of everybody.

This is an amazing zoo with a huge variety of animals. You could easily spend a whole day here. Bring your walking shoes though! And definitely go feed the stingrays!

My 11 month old son absolutely loved the Fort Worth Zoo. We had a blast. It was well kept and the animals were beautiful.His favorite was the crocodile .We definitely will take advantage of the half off Wednesdays! ALSO, calculate for $5 parking in your total cost.I love that you could bring your own wagon or stroller and food for the kids.Tip: bring your own water bottle. You cant refill right now because of Covid, but you will get thirsty.Great place! We will also go to Boo at the Zoo next year when he is a little older.

Staff was phenomenal during this trying time and doing their level best to ensure everyone was able to enjoy the beauty of nature safely.I cannot say the same for all the guests, but this zoo continues to be one of our favorite destinations with our girls. Finally, please dont blame the zoo for the reduced dining options during a literal plague. Theyre doing a fine job.

Even with the elephant enclosure under construction, this was still a great day and a great experience!! My son loved feeding the birds and the giraffes! The walking was easy even pushing a stroller and it took us a few hours to get all the way through. We were a little disappointed not to see the meer cats but by the time we got there it was mid day and hot so they were in their den, completely understandable!

The Zoo itself is very good. Wide variety of animal most of which you can easily find and see. THEY DO NOT ENFORCE MASKS OR SOCIAL DISTANCING AT ALL. You should be prepared not to care about getting sick or passing it along to others. Maybe schools, sports, restaurants would be back to normal if places like this just closed if they are not going to at least try

I love the zoo but they took out the aquarium. I remember from when I was but a child, over 45 years ago. Its like a piece of my childhood is gone. Everything else was great. Just miss my aquarium.

Decent Zoo (Im from San Diego so I may be biased lol). Bummed that several exhibits were closed. However, the sting ray Cove was great!!

I am sure this is a great place to visit when there is no pandemic and/or you dont regularly come into contact with anyone high risk where you dont want to risk carrying anything to someone. The exhibits are kept up very well, there are a lot of shaded walkways, and its just plain beautiful.Masks are required to be worn, but I noticed maybe a third of the people wore theirs so it covered both the mouth and nose with another third not wearing one at all. There is zero attempt to maintain distancing and the place is crowded enough that the maximum amount of distance you can keep from others while seeing anything is a foot or two, at most.

The animals seem so active and happy! My grandbabies had such a good time. All of the staff is delightful and parking was okay.

This is by far the best zoo that I ever visited! Love the trails,animals,exhibits and the mini outings. It is bigger than you think and it features all kinds of animals:monkeys,zebras,lions,snakes,crocodiles, elephants and so many more. They are also fairly reasonable to get in,also affordable food. Whether you fly solo or or with a group,it is a great place to explore the outdoors.

Love that there is so much shade at Ft Worth Zoo vs Dallas. Very clean and friendly staff, despite the extra frustrations and restrictions of COVID. Was pretty bummed to see so much under construction, but that’s what we need in order to have such incredible amenities later on I suppose.**I would have liked to see the employees enforcing the face mask rule. Most people we saw wore their mask past the entrance then took them off, which was pretty frustrating. I’d hate to see them close the zoo again because we can’t follow their rules.

Fun time, very inexpensive compared to other Zoos like San Diego. Parking is only $5. Down side is having to wear a mask and trying to walk up a steep hill in the Texas heat to see the other animals.

The Forth Worth Zoo is by far the best place we have visited in the Dallas area! We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was not crowded. We were able to walk to all the exhibits even in the heat and see All the animals. They have different Entertainment and question/answers throughout the day. The Zoo employees are knowledgeable, polite and very nice. We enjoyed the Giraffe experience the most since we were able to feed the giraffe and have it close to us.

I have never been to this zoo before. I see why it was voted top 5. We spent 5 hours here and still didnt get to see everything. I cant wait to go back.

Definitely couldnt tell that ticket sales were limited to control attendance. Felt more crowded now than pre-covid. So much was closed due to maintenance or covid that it can be actually be a quick decent couple hour trip. Still beats Dallas Zoo.

The enclosures felt very small. Im sure they were fine, but it was a little sad. The best part of the entire zoo was the reptile house or the MOLA! If you see one thing here, its that. They had an incredibly wide selection of snakes, lizards, spiders, and lemurs on display. I would also recommend feeding the giraffes! They came right up to us and took the lettuce right out of our hands. Way cool.

Had an great visit for sons first birthday loved it so much to see didnt get to do everything but will visit again and start on the stuff we havent seen yet only thing I would suggest adding is getting there earlier having a map on hand and maybe the zoo to offer free small souviners for familys who dont have alot or any money so there kids can have a nice keep sake

Moderate sized zoo to be sure. The tree canopy provided great protection from the debilitating rays of the sun. Some of the animals were missing from the enclosures, maybe due to extreme temperatures. The animals that were present were mostly sleep or lethargic, ahain certainly due to the mind-numbing ! I literally had to drag myself from enclosure to enclosure.The highlight of my fleeting trip to the #FortWorth Zoo was a mammoth #alligator, crusty #cayman, and a gargantuan turtle. I was disappointed they did not sell #funnelcakes like our #KansasCityZoo. All in all it was a decent 70 minute jaunt to be sure. I will give it another try once hospital weather has come to Texas

The zoo is great, but the Covid situation is totally unsafe.We bought the tickets ahead for 1 pm, at the entrance, they only let you in 5 minutes early, so far, so good, unfortunately that makes a lot of people stand too close by the check in point.Ones, you get in, there is nothing safe, a lot of people not wearing their masks or not properly.There is no distancing and too many people is allowed to be in the park at the same time, including the closed exhibits and bird cages.In summary, it is way too crowded to feel safe at any point.We decided to leave in less than an hour.

Large and excellent zoo! Huge variety of animals, both land and sea. So glad to have stopped here! Admission prices are very reasonable for all that the zoo has to offer. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The exhibits are well taken care of. All around great experience! Stopped at one of the cafes just for a snack and the food was really good as well! Really loved all the different themes throughout the zoo, and all of the shops and things to do! This really is the best zoo my family and I have ever been to!

We’ve never been disappointed at this zoo. It’s always well maintained....staff is always amazing...animals always seem well kept. We went again yesterday and had lots of family fun.

Loved this trip. Zoo has a great diversity and is top five in the nation! Go if you can!

Great place and great experience. Kids lose their minds a little though. But its a good way to get out and make memories.

Really nice zoo with a good variety of animals to see. I especially loved the hippos, but I wish their enclosure was bigger. Maybe I didnt see it all, not sure. We rode the train and went into the Stingray Corral (both additional fees,) but my daughter loved it! The new elephant enclosure looks like it will be amazing once its renovated! We went on Wednesday when tickets are half price & spring break = a lot of people!! We enjoyed the extra attractions that are included like the petting zoo and indoor big barn playground.

A bit expensive to get in. No discounts for families/groups. $5.00 parking. Food/drinks/entertainment will cost you. Bring your own food and drinks.Great place for the kids. Animals are GREAT. It is My opinion, but, I think this zoo is larger and better than the Dallas zoo. It seems like there are more animals visible.Not too much traffic getting there. Professional and friendly staff. Petting zoo is also a great place to take the kids while inside.

Half price Wednesday is great! Arrived when the gates opened.....not a lot of people. Have to buy tickets online and schedule a time, but was easy to do.

Great family fun zoo!Animals are well taken care of, clean, inviting environment. The animal exhibits are pretty impressive too, and all the staff are friendly and helpful.

Pretty nice Zoo. I enjoyed visiting here now that it has finally warmed up. I recommend visiting here if you get the chance. I didnt go on the train tour, Ill save that for another visit. There was a great selection of souvenirs at two different stores.

Had a blast. Only one animal not on exhibit, the white tiger, that we noticed. You could still feed the giraffes. Only big no no I saw today was that a lot of the adults were not following the mask rules. The zoo overall seems to be doing a great job at managing the animals through this all though. On a final note, there was a bird in the Texas bird sanctuary that did get a little too friendly and hopped on our backs when we turned out back to him. So if that freaks you out, you may want to avoid.

Great place my husband and I had some much fun!!!

We decided to challenge the USA Today article that states that this was the best zoo in the country. I have to say, they were correct! This was a great experience and cant wait for our grand daughter to grow enough so we can take her.

We spent most of our day walking around and viewing all the animals. This is the finest zoo we have ever visited! Really worth traveling to and spending the entire day. Our family enjoyed it so much we could of stayed there for a week. We took the train back to the entrance and it was fun. They have little scenes set up along the way and our kids really enjoyed that.

Great zoo experience while the Covid-19 pandemic goes on. Do be weary that there are no restrictions or requirements to have masks in public so enjoy at your own risk. Overall nice experience.

This is an excellent zoo. There is a reason that it is one of the top in the nation. The zoo keepers are available to talk to you about their animals and are so friendly. After our first visit we became members. My 2 year old really likes the monkeys.

I’m sure this zoo would live up to the high rating it’s had before but not this trip. If you are planning a visit during covid- it isn’t like a Normal Zoo trip. There aren’t many things open and available although there is people packed everywhere. Of course with mask requirements. There are several animals exhibits not open and practically all the activities are closed. The carousel and the little train ride where open so that was a plus. But dont expect to see much or be able to do much. It was still beautiful to see the animals so I am giving 2 stars. It isn’t the animals fault. I do feel like I wasted my money and time today tho.

Theres ofcourse covid changes but EVERYONE here was super nice very respectful my daughter had a blast!!!! Def recommend!!

We went because they said they were limiting capacity and enforcing masks. Both were not true. Busier then I’ve ever seen it and 20% of people had no masks or wore them around their chin. Not safe!

We was there last year like n kids happy this biggest in zoo wow get first will again see on 2021

We usually like the Fort Worth Zoo. We went today. We were required to purchase tickets in advance. I thought that was so they would control the number of people in the zoo at one time. Sooo disappointed there was a lot of people and many not wearing masks. In the 2 hrs we were there we saw 2 employees. The rules are not being followed nor staff keeping it safe and requiring people to wear masks. My 5 year old granddaughter wore hers the whole time.. This is not the time to go to the zoo I guess. pandemic protocol is not followed or being enforced.

Beautiful zoo with half-price tickets on Wednesdays! My only complaint is all the extras in-park cost more money - not a fan. However the animals have huge enclosures that give them privacy when they need it, and look healthy and very well taken care of. You can tell this is a zoo run by animal lovers, not those just out to make a buck.

Went on a family day and everyone enjoyed every moment of it. Nice clean environment for family fun. Staff was very friendly and had a huge assortment of animals, cincessions and attractions!

We had the best day.. me and 2 teenagers... weather was not ideal but still very doab5and kept crowds away. It was like we had the zoo to ourselves. Feed the giraffes for $6.. definitely a must do and have your camera ready. MOLA is always fun as well.

One of the best zoos in the nation and definitely the best in Texas. The exhibits look very natural, at least compared to other zoos.I would stay away on Half Price Wednesday, while I saved some money, I wasted an extra hour just trying to get to the park. Also, it is so crowded that a good view of the animals is extremely hard and I probably seen about a third of the exhibits.I also advise that you pay for parking if you can. Besides saving so much time and sparing your legs for inside the park, I assume the price supports the zoo.One last tip, bathrooms are few and far between, so take advantage of the one by the entrance.

Fun day at the zoo with lots of engaging educational activities. Discounts for currently enrolled students should be offered, maybe? Slightly disappointed that the elephant exhibit has been closed for construction, but the African Safari Exhibit was really nice. The new (to me, at least) hippo/cichlid enclosure was one of the most interesting things to see. The animals of Texas area is really cool and wasnt there last time we were there.

We come to this zoo often. Have the membership so we can go as often as we like and get discounts on food and gifts. Their new splash pad water park is super cute and the kids love it

With the exception of lions not being in a good, healthy condition; the Fort Worth zoo was worth the visit. Feeding the birds and giraffe was fun. Eating sitting beside the glass enclosure of gators was exceptionally exciting. The Zola (fishes and snakes) enclosure was awesome. They do have activities where feeding the animals can be seen along with other encounters. The staffs are courteous, wouldn’t mind at all if you ask them any information about the animals. It’s a recommended visit.

Nice and interactive however throw social distancing out the window

Took my family along with a friends family on a Tuesday afternoon. The zoo wasnt crowded at all. However, there were not many animals to see here except for 3 aged Lions and a tiger, 2 rhinos, 1 hippo, 11 qiraffes and a couple of zebras. The primates exhibit was closed, the elephants were not closeby for the kids to see them and few other exhibits were closed as well. Entry reservation is online and is strictly at the timeslot you reserve to enter. We were ok with the zoo as the place was empty and appeared to be safe for kids who are otherwise stuck at home. Dont expect an African jungle safari expedition experience!!

The Ft.Worth Zoo is awesome. The best time to visit is a weekday if youre not a fan of crowds. Wednesday is half price day so expect large crowds on this day.We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves on Monday. I even got to pet some goats ...it was great!! The staff is excellent and the zoo exhibits are nice. Theyre working on the new elephant area which will be great Im sure. Plenty of food, drink, and rest areas. Fee is 16 for adults now but its to help maintain a great zoo.

Had a very nice time at the Fort Worth Zoo. I enjoyed this zoo better then the Dallas Zoo. Even though it was hot there was plenty of shade throughout. Also plenty of air-conditioned areas to go in and get some cold air. My kids loved it. We enjoyed it so much we stayed for 5 hours.

My husband and I went to the zoo on our vacation to TX. Its a great zoo!! Nice and clean. Lots of animals to see. The animals looked well cared for. There is some renovations going on. Its mostly in the elephant area. Theres a lot of cool animals to see. I loved the primate section. They also have an area where you can feed the giraffes. Its done at certain times of the day. Admission is very reasonable. I highly recommend!

This is probably the best zoo in the whole wide world. The attractions are entertaining and a bunch of fun too. Every animal is well fed and has a clean place to live and is given toys and others to play with. Overall a great place to take a family for spring break or in the fall, if you go in the summer be sure to drink lots of water and have the sunscreen ready.

Decided to come and visit zoo 1st time. This zoo was not a go to place what so ever. This deserves a zero star!!!!!!!Especially since this pandemic is still going on. Folks have no masks on, the capacity was so full we had to leave. We may have been outside but no one and I mean no one was practicing social distance. I am very angry no refunds are assessed. This is a disappointment. Once you have been to Memphis zoo and Animal Kingdom Disney World this zoo was a honest joke and we will not be back. I mean it was unbelievable how many people showed up today and the zoo allowed this. Go to Disney World animal kingdom where they actually make you leave if you do not practice social distance. Do not go to this zoo especially during this time with the pandemic. The zoo itself I never actually seen nothing since the place was so darn crowded.

Love the FW zoo and so do my kids! Their splash pad is great as well! Getting the membership is an awesome deal!

Excellent zoo. Well maintained. Animals are kept in a natural atmosphere. Entertainment train is available. We can enjoy this place very much.

A great place to see a lot of different animals. It is bigger than I originally thought it would be. I am a member so I go to get my steps in! Half of the zoo is set up like the old west which gives both history and Zoology. The other half is set up like the Africa savanna. Highly recommend this place

Make sure you have a reservation! Didnt realize had to have one. But it was super easy to make one online. Able to feed giraffes and birds still! Didnt make it to the other side this time but kids had a blast.

This zoo is so much fun, I love the exhibits - I just need to learn to go when its not a bazillion degrees outside! Definitely worth visiting on half price day (Wednesdays)!!! But make sure to being plenty of water!!!

This zoo says its rated number 1... and theres no possible way. Its pretty enough, but having exhibits isnt the same as having quality exhibits. Their penguin space has nothing on the St. Louis zoo, among many other complaints. I think Im spoiled by my citys zoo and think this one needs to step their game up big time.

Really good zoo. Animals have nice enclosures and didnt seem too stressed or miserable at being locked up. Lots of shade as you walk round. The reptile exhibit was very good and a good spot to cool off for a while. Shops, cafes and other amusements as you would expect. Thought it was very reasonably priced for several hours of enjoyment.
