First trip to the Zoo : Dallas or Ft.Worth?

[ToRqUeTwIsTeR]

I went to both this summer. I enjoyed the Dallas zoo far more than the Ft. Worth one.

I have been to both this year as well. Ft. Worth is still the better choice with what it has to offer. The crowds suck tremendously though. The Dallas Zoo, while it has changed for the better, is still not in comparison. The "African Giants" is merely a similuted sahara overlay with Elephants, a couple of warthogs, zebras, gazelles, and maybe a hippo or two.

Either of them have a petting area for the little ones?

I was at the Ft. Worth Zoo last week and it rocks. They do have a petting area with a young longhorn, a pig, and goats. I'm not sure if that's all they ever have, there are more pens for more animals.

Ft.Worth it is then. Thanks guys.

Ft.Worth it is then. Thanks guys.

I'm late, but FW Zoo has a petting area with the pig, chickens, etc. They also have a petting area where you can pet a stingray, starfish and other sea creatures. If you go during the week it's not bad at all with the crowds.

Except for half price Wednesday.

The Dallas Zoo has a better Cheetah and Meerkat exhibit, other than those the FW Zoo solidly trounces their ass at everything else.

Fort worth for the win every time

x2 on FTW zoo. been there twice with the kids and earlier this year took them to the Dallas zoo, my 6yr old boy said it was bunk.

by "event" do you mean searching for a suitable mate?

god bless.

no the giraffe's don't mate outside their species!

I liked the FW zoo but it seemed small compared to the Houston zoo... It was really nice though and seemed clean and well organized.

I've been to both Dallas & Ft. Worth. Ft. Worth Zoo is a lot nicer. A better family environment.

[Gear_Jammer]

Ft Worth is noticeably better than Dallas, plus you're less likely to get jacked around the Ft Worth zoo. I'm a reptile lover and Ft Worth has an award winning exhibit.
