Every year, my family holidays in a up-to-date location, then my pal and I try to experience distinctive landscapes, unique culture and an educational experience, but this past holiday season, we headed to Fort Worth, TX, but while we enjoyed the Fort Worth Stockyards, several museums and Trinity Trails, the highlight was the Fort Worth Zoo.
Consistently ranked among the top zoos in the nation, it is household to over 7,000 creatures and has recently expanded their elephant exhibit.
As one of the oldest zoos in TX, the Fort Worth Zoo has steadily evolved into a world-class facility, combining entertainment, education and conservation, since its start in 1909 with just a handful of creatures, the zoo now covers sixty-four acres and represents more than five hundred species of creatures, one of my number one exhibits was The TX Wild! From the swamps of the Gulf Coast to the arid landscapes of West TX, it showcased the diverse ecosystems within the state and offered a look at native wildlife within settings that mimic their natural environments. The African Savanna is another easily fascinating exhibit. The sprawling landscape is just beautiful and provides a household to elephants, giraffes and zebras. The immersive experience includes the Asian Falls, Raptor Canyon and Australian Outback exhibits, then each one is unique and shares habitats of creatures from unusual parts of the world, and for my teenagers, the best part of our visit to the zoo was the interactive experiences. My pal and I were able to attend live demonstrations and feeding sessions, where the teenagers got to be hands-on. The TX Nature Traders Programs encourages the teenagers to collect natural items and trade them for points that they can money in for fun prizes.
