Lone Star Mystery

Join the Fort Worth Zoo’s Wild Wonders Outreach Program for an up-close experience in the Outdoor Learning Theater! Animal training shows are 15- to 20-minute presentations featuring how Zoo staff and animals prepare for the stage show, “Lone Star Mystery.” The stage show features the Zoo Bureau of Investigation, a team of ranchers, a variety of mammals, birds and reptiles, and of course, a mystery to be solved. This 20-minute stage show is very interactive and audience participation is encouraged! The Zoo’s Outdoor Learning Theater is located next to the Penguins exhibit. Animal training shows and the stage show are free with regular Zoo admission.
