*More info and other stuff!*
Since I wanted this to focus on being a ratings and rankings video, I left out the usual info and advice you'd normally find on my "Watch This Before You Go" series:
*Zoo Map:* assets.speakcdn.com/assets/2849/sept_printed_map_2023_web.pdf

*Forest and Jungles of the World:* www.fortworthzoo.org/forests-jungles
1. Fort Worth Zoo opened in 1909, making it the oldest continuous zoo location in Texas (Dallas moved to a different location).
2. The zoo is home to 500 species from 7,000 animals.
3. The park is known for breeding a butt load of flamingos, having one of the largest collections of reptiles in the world, fast tracking new stunning state of the art projects, and are proud to be an international leader in elephant conservation.
4. It's open 365 days a year and Wednesdays are half price admission. The zoo accepts both cash and card. My ticket was $20.
5. Remember, Dallas World Aquarium and Dallas Zoo are an hour away. If you only have time to choose one of them, go with Forth Worth.
6. This visit took place on a Friday in October. The weather was fantastic, I had the entrance to myself for a bit, but 5 minutes before closing and it became just as crowded as Disney's Animal Kingdom. The crowd only became an issue in MOLA.
7. The entire park is 64 acres (same exact size as Indianapolis and Cincinnati Zoos), your visit will be at least a couple of hours and you'll only have to walk 2 miles.

Elephants go in the s tier in every zoo I love them and their exhibits in the tier list super!
Could you please do a video on the Oakland Zoo in California? I would recommend the California Trail.
By the way, I already have a FAHLO bracelet and my elephant's name is Edison.
Please go to Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, FL
the next expansion is looking to be good aswell. new upgraded habitats for Sumatran Orangutans, Jaguars, Bongos and new species such as Okapi and Giant River Otters have been mentioned so far, as well as some new aviaries!
Hey, local here. I'd say you rated the Zoo pretty well. I'd only change the placements of Elephant Springs and Texas Wild.
Fort Worth Zoo is in my top 10, but I still place it lower than Houston. Houston is a top 5 Zoo in the country. I still have yet to find a better exhibit than the Pantanal and I've been to zoos like Henry Doorly, San Diego and Columbus. I've also been to around the same amount of zoos you have, so I like to think I have a little bit of experience too 😅.
But my favorite part of Fort Worth Zoo is the themeing and Education. Imo no Zoo does better education than Fort Worth. No one. But that doesn't mean Fort Worth is perfect on that front either. Every single Zoo has room for improvement at all time.
For the zoos future you can find various articles and interviews that talk about what's to come. If you thought the Zoo was stopping at Forests and Jungles, you'd be wrong. Forests and Jungles though is said to be moving the Jaguar, Gorillas, Orangutans, Bongos and Ocelot, from everything I could find. Not sure what will happen with the Bonobos, Mandrills, Gibbons and Colobus monkeys but I have heard rumors that the Colobus Monkeys will move over FJOTW as well, but nothing concrete. Ramona Bass has also stated a 2026 date is being eyed, most likely Spring to early summer like the other projects.
As for new species the Okapi will be joining the Zoo for the first time, as well as Giant Otters. Tamarins are likely to join the lineup as well as the Zoo previously had displayed them at MOLA, but that's just my hunch.
As for what's to come after Forests and Jungles, Ramona Bass has said personally that Texas Wild will be getting a major face-lift. She said Texas Town will be staying which can only mean the animal habitats will be getting the face lifts. Nothing official is known besides that, but I have talked with people who say that the main priority is to give animals like the Cougars, Coyotes, Bobcats and Black Bears more space, which they are in desperate need of. The cougars I have heard will be moved to the old Jaguar space when the Jaguar leaves for the time being until this face-lift of the exhibit happens.
All in all I'm super excited for Fort Worths future. It won best Zoo in 2020 and has received many awards. (Though I am not a fan of the USA Today's system as its easily rigged). But this Zoo is what I like to call the biggest Cinderella Story Zoo in the United States. It went from a top 10 worst to top 10 best in a little over a decade and they're not even done. I can't wait to see where they go from here. I hope to take my kids one day to see the finished product with a renovated Texas Wild, Forests and Jungles and hopefully a revamped World of Primates. With how fast the Zoo is making changes, I think it will easily be a contender for best zoo in the States within the next decade. No zoo makes me feel more at home than Fort Worth. (:
I heard the next big change after Forests and Jungles of the World is supposed be an update to the Australia section.
@ggrarl really? If you could give me a source I would really appreciate it! The last official word I've seen was in an interview with Ramona Bass that said Texas Wild will be receiving a much needed face-lift.
@@samuelb199 it was on their Wikipedia page, but that's unreliable. It might be on ZooChat.
you really didn't miss much on the zoo tour. i've been going to the fort worth zoo for many many years since i was 4 and its always my most favorite places to go and it has such rich history and with the new things coming too.
Well done, Zach! The Fort Worth Zoo is one of my Dad’s and my favorite zoos we’ve visited in the last few years. I can’t wait to go back sometime to see Elephant Springs and the Predators of Asia and Africa. I can’t wait for the next tour!
I went to the Fort Worth Zoo as a kid for a field trip. I didn't end up going back until 2022, but I had a great time. It was neat to see everything that had changed, although I was disappointed that the African and Asian predators wasn't quite open yet. I plan on setting up another trip soon with my mom, since she has never been and really wants to go.
I hope you do a special tour episode for MOLA. I think it's about time the Saltwater Crocodile gets its tour debut on the channel.
I went to this zoo last year and it was honestly one of my favorite zoo experiences ever. Although the Predators of Africa and Asia section was still not open when I went, I can definitely agree with this list. The MOLA was beautiful!
It's been about over 10 years since I have been to this zoo. I was visiting in Texas to meet some family members for the first time ever, and this was where we spent one of our days. Holy cow, a lot sure has changed since then.
Really enjoyed this format! Would love to see more of these types of videos in 2024 😄
Waking up to find a video talking about my zoo. Excellent!
I'm liking this new video format! It's a breath of fresh air from your traditional tour format, I've got to visit Fort Worth sometime!
PLEASE VISIT THE STATEN ISLAND ZOO IN NYC. It’s a good cheap zoo and it’s my childhood zoo
Happy new year 🎈🎆🎊
This is my hometown zoo, but I thoroughly enjoy the St. Louis Zoo as well
I’m very interested to see the tours of the Fort Worth Zoo and I like the rating style to channel and I can’t wait to see more ranking of exhibits in the future.
Also just curious about if you visited the Dallas World Aquarium because I know you visited the Dallas Zoo but did you check out the Aquarium if not will it be featured on the channel?
Sorry for the long comment, got carried away lol, also Happy New Year!
I visited Fort Worth in September and I loved it, I think it is #6 out of 38 zoos and aquariums only behind Omaha, Georgia, San Diego, Bronx, and Houston
Great vlog
Is the Predators Region the next tour?
Isn’t that in here? 🤔
@@erikm8372 well from the Florida Everglades tour, it showed at the end of the video a preview of the Predators at Fort Worth mainly with the multiple Big Cats that’s in the area, that’s why I asked.
Bravo, Zak!🦅 Say, try to visit the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle someday! And here are just 2 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend....
1) How many Mexican Gray Wolves has the San Francisco Zoo bred so far when Prince & Garcia passed away so far?
2) What new exhibit would you recommend the Lincoln Park Zoo to build for the future?
Hi I love your channel
Have you visited the San Antonio Zoo? I love it!
Love this video. Just one thing the Eastern Bongo isn’t currently in a section. Once there new section is constructed they be apart of that section. Right now it’s just its own thing.
Zac, for your next zoo tour, could you do the Fresno Chaffee Zoo in California?
I got a picture at Indy Zoo in August of a Rhino with it's snout in a turd. An instant 10/10.
When do we will see more of the Paris Zoo? :)
When are you gonna do the Minnesota trail?
When did they remove the indoor gorilla exhibit?
I don't know if you had done like a Q and A, but, I'm curious. Zoos are only a huge hobby for you or do you work in something related to the area?
What do you think is the Zoo with the best quality and selection of animals in the Northeast U.S.. Lovin' the vids from Massachusetts
Can you rate the San Diego zoo?
Did you change your logo? I thought this was a fake zoo tours account 😂
Don’t they have pandas?
They do not.
I honestly don’t really like this zoo the apes and primates it’s sad to see them in small little islands I think they really need to renovate the primate area
1 hour gang

Yesir
I know this would be hard but it would be amazing if you could rank every Henry doorly zoo exhibit
Idk about him, but I'm down!
1. Scott African Grasslands
2. Asian Highlands
3. Desert Dome
4. Owen Sea Lion Shores
5. Scott Aquarium
6. Butterfly & Insect Pavillion
7. Lied Jungle
8. Simmons Aviary
9. Kingdoms of the Night
10. Bay Family Children's Adventure Trails
11. Hubbard Expedition Madagascar
12. Wild Kingdom Pavillion
13. Hubbard Gorilla Valley
And from what I've seen of Hubbard Orangutan valley I'd probably rank it at 6 in between Scott Aquarium and the Insect Pavillion
How would you rank them?
