Fort Worth Zoo

Frommer's Review

One of the top zoos in the country, the award-winning Fort Worth Zoo has a great layout of natural habitats and fantastic animals from around the world. I took my nephew here for his fifth birthday, and we had a total blast. The zoo has an African Savannah with endangered rhinos and giraffes; a Koala Outback with kangaroos, wallabies, and lazy koalas; and Komodo dragons, lots of apes, orangutans and rainforest monkeys, and white tigers. The newest exhibit has a local theme: "Texas Wild!," an 8-acre expansion showcasing native Texas animals and a late-19th-century town. Allow 2 or 3 hours here, though your kids are unlikely to want to leave.
