The Fort Worth zoo is the kind of place that you always wanted to go to when you were a child. Not only do they have every sort of animal that a child wants to see -- lions, tigers, bear, oh my -- but the exhibits are nicely done. It minimizes the intrusion onto the animals but still allows you to see them.
I was a little disappointed in their Great Barrier Reef exhibit. For awhile they had every highway in DFW plastered with signs advertising it, but it turned out to be just a few tanks with fairly common fish. My husband's tank is almost more impressive.
I'm also disappointed that they don't have reciprocity with the Dallas zoo. I think it's done that way so that both zoos can maximize memberships, but it's too bad that you have to choose one or the other.
