One of the really great things about living in the Metroplex area of Texas, is that it’s a very short trip to places in both Dallas & Fort Worth! One such day trip I really love, is The Fort Worth Zoo.
The Fort Worth Zoo has tons of exhibits and lot’s of ground to explore. Here are a few highlights from our recent trip to the Fort Worth Zoo!
Hope you enjoy!
-There are lot’s of fun statues, and rest stops along the Zoo paths that kids can touch interact with.
– One of the first sections of the Zoo is the Primate area. Monkeys, Apes, Orangutans… beautiful!
– A new Museum of Living Art (MOLA) has just opened up. It’s full of reptiles & amphibians in a child friendly environment. Even mommy wasn’t scared of them!
– One baby. One Croc. So close!
-Find a new buddy. My pumpkin did not want to EVER leave this lizards side.
-Most of the animal enclosures make it easy for little ones in strollers, or of short stature to see the animals.
-Please make sure you bring lot’s of sunscreen, and water for both yourself and any babies you have with you. It’s Texas- it’s HOT people!
The Fort Worth Zoo is really wonderful for kids, and worth a trip from across the Metroplex…or across the country! Hope you get to experience it. If you have – I’d love to know what you most enjoy there!

Great pictures and it looks like a great zoo. I’m always on the lookout for good zoos and will definately keep this in mind if I ever get to Texas.

awww looks like you guys had such a great time! Molly looks so cute when she’s looking in the glass at the alligator! She looks alittle untrusting of the clear glass, like I’m not gonna look him in the eye just yet! smart girl:) She looks like a total animal lover, and like she’s really into the animals too, maybe she’ll study them or something when she grows up!

I used to live in Fort Worth as a teen and we didn’t ever get to go. It looks like you all had fun. Love the pics!
Love the Ft.Worth Zoo! So glad to see that Molly had a great time with all the animals! MOLA wasn’t there when I was there last, I will have to try to go there next time we’re in Texas!
I love trips. These are great pictures. I just posted pics of my trip too. I love these days off:)
I LOVE the Ft. Worth Zoo! I think it’s the best. We lived in Ca. and went to all of the zoo’s there and they don’t even come close to comparing to Ft. Worth. Now we live in Austin and we took our 4 year old to the Austin Zoo for her birthday. We figured if the Ft. Worth Zoo was great Austin should be just as great, right- WRONG! I felt so bad after we left there that we wasted her little birthday at the most horrible zoo I have ever been to. I can’t even begin to tell you how bad it was, it was like a run down petting zoo on miles of rock and gravel! From now on we will be driving to Ft- Worth SOOOOO worth it!
Great pic’s! I love the one of the turtle! Bet your little one had lots of fun!
