Frommer's Review
One of the top zoos in the country, the award-winning Fort Worth Zoo has a great layout of natural habitats and fantastic animals from around the world. I took my nephew here for his fifth birthday, and we had a total blast. The zoo has an African Savannah with endangered rhinos and giraffes; a Koala Outback with kangaroos, wallabies, and lazy koalas; and Komodo dragons, lots of apes, orangutans and rainforest monkeys, and white tigers. The newest exhibit has a local theme: "Texas Wild!," an 8-acre expansion showcasing native Texas animals and a late-19th-century town. Allow 2 or 3 hours here, though your kids are unlikely to want to leave.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
