We love this zoo. I do wish they still had paper maps because the layout is a bit confusing. They have a map online but the kids wanted to carry around their own map. The zoo was clean and most of the animals were out. No sharks though. At the petting zoo the goats are very friendly. We skipped the water park so I have no review on that. Make sure you pack water because the drinks from the vending machine are $4.
Ft. Worth zoo is pretty legit. Some of the attractions were closed. Spent 2.5 hours at the zoo and had a great time. Not fond of spending $4.00 for a single bottle of water though
Fort Worth Zoo.Major attractions closed for bird flu, and whatever else is out there. Restaurants venues closed, as well as others. Id wait before vising the Zoo until the park is up to speed. Not sure why there still charging full price when the zoo has its major attractions missing, and other facilities are closed.
Its a great zoo with many kinds of animals with nice environment. They are having small reconstruction so I hope itll be nicer when we go back to visit.
I absolutely love the petting barn at the fort worth zoo. I love how it is so open and you can go right in with the goats. Such a nice experience for hands on animal experience.
Great trip as always 🙂
You and the kids can brush the goats. They are very gentle. It is also half price day on Wednesday.
I love this place best zoo in the metroplex I really like the new animals areas
Wow this Zoo has come along way from my first visit in 1988 .. Really enjoy playing with the sting rays and walking around all the new exhibits.
Always too fun! One of the kids favorite places at the zoo.
Sadly this area was the least attractive of our trip. The petting zoo wasnt open for kids to pet the animals just the play area for them to play in.
The little ones had so much fun. The animals are very tame. This is a great time. The workers are very friendly and helpful
Able to pet animals with supervision, but only goats were available to interact with. The kids were a bit disappointed.
It was so busy! The employees we’re patient with the kids and they had a lot of fun brushing the goats
Would be nice if strollers were permitted in the petting zoo.
Perfect weekend for the little ones
Best zoo Ive been too but can get pretty packed some days
My son had a blast. There was a lot of interactive activities. We were not able to pet any animals however there is enough stuff for us to do
The petting barn at the Fort Worth Zoo was pretty neat. My kids all got to enjoy live animals up close. There is just something neat about the farm life.
My daughter looks forward to seeing the pigs and petting the goats wevery time we go to the zoo
We had a great time at the zoo. Granddaughter went with us and she loves this place.
This zoo was amazing. Love seen all the animals. Wendsday is a perfect day to go. Half price.
Our son loved petting the goats. We stop by every time we are at the park
No wait just walk in. Only about 6 animals. No structure at all. Kids chasing the animals.
Great place to learn about farm to table cycle and pet animals!!!! And right across the way is the petting zoo which is so fun for the kids!
Such a amazing place this zoo is light years ahead of the others in Texas
Clean facilitys alot of animals to see very friendly staff great fun for the kids
A zoo is a fun place, but the restructuring has concerned me.
When it comes to the Fort Worth Zoo, EVERYTHING is a five star experience
I think most children love being able to touch the animals. My 7, 5, and 1 year old loved it.
No animals...lots of cute buildings but no animals. Is that a Zoo or is it 6 Flags?
Always super clean and staff is very friendly one of my go to places to take my two toddlers during the week
Worth go with kids or without kids
The zoo exhibits are absolutely awesome!
Love petting the barn animals! Love their new setup
Everything at fort worth zoo is fun.
It was a very good zoo, it is better than Dallas zoo.
It was way too overcrowded when we were there.
Loved it..
Friendly staff and cute animals
Good place to teach kids about animals
Very crowded but fun!
It was neat. Kids loved it.
Took grand baby with us and we enjoyed feeding the giraffes 🦒
We wasted our money. We saw maybe 3 animals. Fortworth zoo has gone down. Poor management. RIP off
Goats are mega friendly. Toddler tolerant

So fun. My 2.5 yo loved it
Loved it
So much fun
Great day with the grandson at the zoo!
We absolutely love the Fort Worth Zoo!!!
My kids enjoyed.
Dont sweat the petty things and dont pet the smelly things. The petting zoo is pretty boring and not worth the extra time and money.
Had a good time
My son loves petting the goats!
Love the zoo but this is not much of petting barn needs more animals to interact with
Display of farm animals
Big pet moment
Great Zoo
My son always enjoys brushing and petting the animals.
Very nice petting zoo
Not much to it.
Alright petting zoo. On the small side, but still fun to stop at.
It was great
Kids loved it.
Not much shade in this area
Wonderful place
It is a very beautiful place, the animal species that are exhibited are very beautiful and well cared for, the details of each habitat very well lit, every detail well cared for. I loved it and I recommend it
Good placeBut some things have already changed to enter to see the stingrays uuuf they charge you $ 4 per person and you only see that they swim around and they sell you separate food to give them and only 1 whole and several changes that you have to pay for a walk that would cost around before $ 70 turned into over $ 190
Super nice very big and they made improvements
Good to share with the family especially with children
Everything very beautiful
Excellent place for a family outing
Too bad you cant see the Animals of the African and Indonesian region.
Good place to go in familis

2022-06-08Very expensive, Wednesdays are good because its half price. We did the train ride. We sat on the train ride for 5-10 mins and it was over. For $4 a person which I brought 4 of my kids so for $20 was not really worth it. I remember going to the zoo and it was affordable. $5 to park not bad. I bought my tickets online. Really recommended because I didnt have to wait in long ticket line. Lots of places to eat. Access to public and family restrooms. Not many animals were there but the ones that were there were very active which made it very entertaining. Park was clean workers were helpful. The weather was nice so we had a good time. It closed at 5pm we arrived at 1pm with enough time to sit down and eat and see all the animals.

2022-04-17My kids love the petty barn at the zoo. The animals are calm, the place is clean and they have hand wash area. They have brushes to brush the goats and the kids have fun doing it. Theres carousel and train right next to it, so if youre with kids, its definitely worth the walk.

2022-03-17The lines were very long because of spring break; understandable. But when we finally get real close to show our tickets we were told to make sure you have your online tickets ready because the zoo doesnt have wifi. This caused us to get out of line to ask for tickets to print. Back again in line... It would be nice if they had instructions before purchasing and after online purchase. Also, signs or more employees letting us know. Also, verbal directions or signs letting us know with which line to stand. Several customers had to ask each other. Other than that I love the elephants as they are very sweet with each other and the monkeys. 😁

2022-04-09Not to big to walk through it. A little disappointed because they are doing renovations so not all animals were there. All and all enjoyed the day.

2022-03-18The congestion of traffic was really bad leaving you need to get there early like 8:30ish to not be in the back of the line but definitely buy your tickets ahead of time I went on a Wednesday half off day it was another reason it was crowded

2022-05-08Its a great interactive area for the littles! Its mainly just a bunch of goats you can pet and brush. They have 2 pot belly pigs 🐖 but those are corralled off. And I think perhaps you can feed the goats or pigs but the bins were empty when we were there. My only complaint would be that they need more variety like chicks or ducks or something 🤔 🤷♀️...Oh and there is a watering station so you can clean off after 🙂

2022-05-05Great part of zoo to do hands on. Be VERY mindful of the day you go. ALL the schools schedule to come in April and May, especially Fridays. It was very chaotic getting in and the zoo doesnt seem to put a cap on how many. Took forever to get in and even park.
