fort worth zoo

Hello Zoochatters, This is my first post here so hopefully I'm not breaking any rules, but I've run into a dead end while doing some research that I figure you all might be able to help me with. Recently I've been digging into the largest recorded individual Aldabra tortoises. While there...

Hello! I am in Dallas currently, and I plan to on Sunday to visit the Dallas World Aquarium and one of the two zoos within a single day. I am more interested to visit Fort Worth Zoo, but at Dallas it’s a lot closer and easier to do, and their Africa and reptile house seem phenomenal. I’m pretty...

Hello! Currently, I am in the process of planning a trip to the Dallas area for 4-5 days at the end of March. I am unsure of what facilities I’d visit due to this being a trip to visit relatives. Of the facilities I’ve observed, I think it’s likely I’ll do the Dallas World Aquarium and possibly...

My Tuesday evening flight from Philly to Dallas got cancelled, so I ended up leaving from Reagan instead and having a 5 hour layover in Denver. Just enough time to check out the Downtown Aquarium! My flight got in at 330, so there was no chance of going to the zoo instead (gates close at 4). I’m...

Great to see that the Fort Worth Zoo's $100M capital campaign, "A Wilder Vision", now has some specifics: The Vision After witnessing the poaching problem and plight of several species in the wild, while also experiencing breeding and conservation successes here at home, Zoo officials began...

I've decided that I've been in Texas too long to have not seen any of the AZA zoos near me. There's six within driving distance. San Antonio and Cameron Park (Waco) are both an easy day trip from me, but in opposite directions. The Houston Zoo and Moody Gardens and the Dallas Zoo and Fort...
