Fort Worth.... Not even a moment of hesitatiion. Now, if you were choosing between Fort Worth and th National Zoo, I may have to ponder that for a while>

The Dallas Zoo is not a horrible place, but for a photographer, the Ft. Worth Zoo is head and shoulders ahead.

Tell them I sent you, and I guarantee you will be able to get at least one great shot ...

Never been to the Dallas zoo, just never had a reason since there's always good stuff at the Fort Worth zoo. You won't be dissappointed. Be sure to go into the Texas Wild area. There's a few critters in the back of that you don't want to miss.

Fort Worth zoo is ranked in the top 10 of all the zoos in the US. I would go to the FW zoo also.

I have had a FW Zoo membership for a number of years and usually go to the Dallas Zoo every couple of years, recently late last year. Far and away, the FW Zoo wins hands down - better, more modern exhibits, better lines of sight, less heavy caging, etc. Much better.
