Description

The nationally acclaimed Fort Worth Zoo is a pioneer in using natural habitats to showcase animals. Exotic animals are kept out of cages and left to freely roam in a natural environment. At most exhibits, visitors are separated from the residents by only a river or a waterfall! Special exhibits include the World of Primates, African Savannah, Asian Falls and Texas Wild. An onsite restaurant serves hamburgers, fries, pizza and BBQ, while a canopy of magnificent oak trees provides welcome shelter from the hot Texas sun.
