About this adventure

Ranked among the top five zoos in the nation by prominent media, the Fort Worth Zoo's extensively developed 'Elephant Springs' Asian elephant habitat not only allows visitors to see elephant herds bathing and playing, but also features a highly popular elevated giraffe feeding interaction. Children can hold fresh romaine lettuce and feed it directly to the giraffes' long tongues, experiencing a wonderful close-up interaction with nature. The zoo is surrounded by shade trees, with no steep slopes throughout, and gentle ramps are very stroller-friendly. The park offers comprehensive single/double stroller rental services, with shaded rest areas, cold drink stands, accessible family restrooms, and dedicated nursing stations distributed along the paths. The mild and cool temperatures in early November are often considered a prime viewing season when animals are most active.
