For ALL of you that are going to visit us in Dallas, let me just say that if you're bringing the kids the Ft. Worth Zoo is something to consider visiting! We went last weekend and had a wonderful time. I am shocked that Lowery chose that as her first "outing" in Dallas - we gave her the option of Six Flags, American Girl store or the zoo. We thought of course she would choose Six Flags, but she surprised us with the zoo.
The zoo is really great - the animals are good and the viewing areas for the animals are really good as well. It was cloudy and cool the morning we went, which helped the animals to be out and about. But the zoo is laid out really well and has lots of shade - and also has some really good places to eat for a nice lunch (not your typical zoo food). The only trouble we had was with the poor little train - we tried to ride it twice. It just couldn't go. So we will look forward to that next on the next visit and try to lose some weight to help it along.
Our favorite animals of the day were the elephants (some were doing tricks so that was fun), the lions, the white tigers and the birds (they have this neat inside exhibit where you can go in and feed them), the meerkats and the kissing orangutans. Did not love the "herpetarium" - snakes, lizards and such. Creepy!
Wow, that looks like an awesome zoo! Travis is kinda obsessed with zoos right now. He keeps trying to turn an upcoming Branson trip into a trip to the Springfield zoo (which doesn't have much of a a reptation). Maybe I can talk him into a trip to Texas instead!!
