Ft. Worth Zoo is much better and nicer than the Dallas Zoo. Don't bother with the Dallas Zoo.

If I could ask since I live in Houston. How would the Houston Zoo compare to the Dallas and Ft. Worth?

No doubt it is Ft Worth. Dallas zoo is not very nice anymore. The City of dallas isnt really dumping a lot of money into like Ft Worth does theirs.

Ft. Worth Zoo is better. The Ft. Worth Zoo is almost as good as the National Zoo, and the National Zoo is amazing. Ft. Worth's hours stink, though. 10 AM is not early enough. The National Zoo opens at 6 AM!

Wonderful, thank you to all. I hope to make it Sunday after the races. All of which largely depends on how beat I am the next day after being at the track for 2 days. Looks like from what y'all said I'm just going to have to go one weekend anyway.

In the Dallas/Fort Worth area it would have to be the FW Zoo. Now.... if you're ever in the midwest, I think the St. Louis Zoo is better.

Fort Worth Zoo is better, but I'm biased. I've lived here all my life. I've heard some really great things about the San Antonio Zoo as well.
