The oldest zoo in Texas, the Fort Worth Zoo was founded in 1909 with one lion, two bear cubs, an alligator, a coyote, a peacock and a few rabbits. From these humble beginnings, the Zoo has grown into a facility, housing more than 5,000 native and exotic animals. The Zoo has been ranked as a top zoo in the nation by Family Life magazine, the Los Angeles Times and USA Today, and has been named the number one attraction in the Dallas/ Fort Worth Metroplex by Zagat Survey U.S. Family Travel Guide.
- The Kimbell Art Museum
Free (permanent collection)
The Kimbell’s permanent collection is small in size, comprising fewer than 350 works of art, and distinguished by an extraordinary level of artistic quality and importance. Leaving to older and larger institutions the role of collecting broadly and in depth, the Kimbell has continued to pursue quality over quantity. Its holdings range from the third millennium B.C. to the mid-20th century, and include major works by Caravaggio, Velázquez, Rembrandt, Monet, Cézanne, Picasso, Mondrian, and Matisse. The collection comprises Asian and non-Western as well as European art, and extends to the mid-20th century.

$10 adults, $4 students and seniors (with ID), free (children 12 and under)
Free to all visitors on Sunday
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is dedicated to collecting, presenting and interpreting international developments in post–World War II art in all media.
