Every year, my family holidays in a modern location, however we try to experience distinctive landscapes, certain culture and an educational experience, but this past holiday season, my pal and I headed to Fort Worth, Texas.
- While my pal and I enjoyed the Fort Worth Stockyards, various museums and Trinity Trails, the highlight was the Fort Worth Zoo, consistently ranked among the top zoos in the nation, it is property to over 7,000 animals and has recently expanded their elephant exhibit; As one of the oldest zoos in Texas, the Fort Worth Zoo has steadily evolved into a world-class facility, combining entertainment, education and conservation… Since its beginning in 1909 with just a handful of animals, the zoo now covers sixty-four acres and represents more than five hundred species of animals! One of my favorite exhibits was The Texas Wild! From the swamps of the Gulf Coast to the arid landscapes of West Texas, it showcased the diverse ecosystems within the state and gave a look at native wildlife within settings that mimic their natural environments.
The African Savanna is another definitely fascinating exhibit. The sprawling landscape is just attractive and provides a property to elephants, giraffes and zebras. The immersive experience includes the Asian Falls, Raptor Canyon and Australian Outback exhibits, each one is certain and shares habitats of animals from different parts of the world! For my kids, the best part of our visit to the zoo was the interactive experiences. We were able to attend live demonstrations and feeding sessions, where the kids got to be hands-on. The Texas Nature Traders Programs encourages the kids to collect natural items and trade them for points that they can cash in for fun prizes.
