"Pretty sure the zoo membership was worth it"
We got the Fort Worth Zoo membership this year, i’m sure it paid for itself faster than I expected. Between parking being included and being able to pop in for just a couple hours whenever, it makes visits feel really easy. My kids still get excited every time, somehow. If you live anywhere near Fort Worth, I’d say it’s probably a really good value.

"Fun day, but the bathrooms were disappointing"
We had a really fun time at the zoo today, and I loved seeing how excited everyone got around the animals. It made the day feel special. The only thing that kind of took away from the experience was the bathrooms, they were gross when we went, and that just made it harder to fully relax and enjoy the visit

"The zoo was really nice overall…"
The zoo was really nice overall, and we still had a good time, but maybe it’s just me, the wait times made it a little harder to fully enjoy. Getting in took forever, and the food lines felt slow too. I’m glad we went, I just wish things moved a bit faster...

"Pretty accessible, but the waiting was annoying"
I went to the zoo with my mom in her wheelchair, and overall it was easy to get around. Most of the ramps and paths were clear, though a few crowded spots got really tight and slowed us down. The website info was helpful, but I got frustrated waiting for the maps to load when we were trying to figure out where to go next
"Food Prices Were Reasonable"
I thought the food prices were actually quite fair for a zoo. Usually you expect everything to be overpriced at places like this, but it wasn’t too bad at all.
"A lot more animals than I expected"
I went to the Fort Worth Zoo and was surprised by how much there was to see. They had big cats, elephants, reptiles, birds, monkeys, and a bunch of animals I’m not even sure I’d seen before. It definitely didn’t feel like you were just looking at the same type of exhibit again and again. We walked around for hours and I’m fairly sure we still missed some things. Overall, it was a really fun day and probably worth checking out if you like seeing a good variety of animals...

"Pretty Smooth for a Busy Day"
It was a busy day, so I wasn’t sure how long I’d end up waiting, but the lines actually moved faster than I expected. Everything seemed to go smoothly overall.
"Such a fun day at Fort Worth Zoo"
We had such a nice time at the Fort Worth Zoo, everyone we talked to was so friendly, from the folks at the ticket area to the people inside helping us figure out where to go, and one staff member even stopped to answer all of my kid’s totally random animal questions without seeming rushed or annoyed, which made the whole visit feel super easy, relaxed, and fun, and I’d definitely be happy to go back again.

"Fun family day, but I was a little uneasy after paying online"
We had a really good time at the Fort Worth Zoo with our family. I used the website to check the hours and buy tickets ahead of time, and it was simple overall. That said, after I paid, I got a little uneasy because I wasn’t totally sure everything had gone through right away, so I kept checking my email and hoping there wouldn’t be an issue at the gate. Luckily, the tickets worked fine and it did save us some time when we got there. The zoo itself was clean, there was plenty to see, and the animals looked well cared for. It was busy, but not chaotic, and the kids had a blast. We’d definitely go back again.

"Easy Checkout, Slightly Clunky Date Selection"
I bought my Fort Worth Zoo tickets online and overall it was a smooth experience. Finding the right date took me a little longer than I expected, so that part could be a bit easier, but once I got past that, checkout was simple. The confirmation email showed up quickly too, so no major complaints.

"Definitely Worth It"
I felt like it was totally worth the ticket price. I had a great time and left feeling like I got my money’s worth. I’d definitely go again if I get the chance
"We had a good time at…"
We had a good time at the Fort Worth Zoo overall, but the parking situation was annoying. The day is already not exactly cheap once you buy tickets, and then you get hit with an extra parking fee on top of it. It kind of feels like they make it sound like a simple family outing, but in reality the costs keep adding up. The zoo itself was fun, I just wish the parking was cheaper or at least more upfront about how much it adds to the visit.

"Some of the staff got back to…"
Some of the staff got back to me really quickly, which I appreciated. A couple of others seemed a little unsure when it came to the animal info, though, so I wasn’t always totally confident in the answers. It wasn’t a big problem or anything, just something I noticed. Overall, it was an okay experience.

"Not quite what I expected"
The signs were okay overall, but I guess I was expecting them to look a bit more polished. They did the job, just didn’t really stand out the way I hoped they would.

"such a fun day with the kids"
took my two kids to the fort worth zoo they had such a great time. the children’s area was a big hit, especially feeding the birds and getting to see some of the animals up close. i also really appreciated that there were plenty of places to sit and take a break, because we definitely needed it. we ended up spending most of the day there and nobody got bored, which is always a win. getting tickets and info on fortworthzoo.org was easy too. we’ll definitely be back

"The kids really enjoyed the train…"
The kids really enjoyed the train, which was definitely a highlight for them. The wait felt long though, and we found out a couple of rides were closed once we were there. Overall, the zoo was still fine and we had a decent time, but I just wish the ride info had been a bit clearer ahead of time, if that makes sense...

"Kids Had Great Time"
My kids really loved it. They were excited the whole time and kept talking about it after. It was a nice experience for family, and I’d definitely get it again.

"They had a good mix of…"
They had a good mix of shirts, toys, and cute animal-themed stuff, and the prices were reasonable. Just a warning though, it’s one of those places where you can easily grab more than you planned because everything is kind of fun to look at.

"Really Appreciate the Focus on Nature"
I really like that this puts animals and nature front and center. It feels good to support something that actually cares about the environment and the living things we share it with. Definitely something I can get behind.

"A lot more walking than we expected"
The zoo itself was fine, and the animals were nice to see, but the layout really threw us off. It felt spread out and a little confusing, like we kept having to walk back around just to get to the next section. Maybe we just hit it on a tiring day, but it made me feel like this place probably isn’t the easiest for families with little kids or anyone who gets worn out quickly. Overall, the animals were enjoyable, but getting around made the whole visit less fun than it could’ve been.
