Providing essential care and sanctuary for a wide variety of abandoned, orphaned or confiscated exotic animals, The International Exotic Animal Sanctuary (IEAS) in Boyd is a most interesting destination for a family day trip from Fort Worth. Not only will you and your children (older than seven years of age) get the chance to observe many magnificent exotic animals at close range, but you will also learn about conservation and many aspects of animal welfare. The sanctuary offers guided 90 minute walking tours of the sanctuary every day of the week. Expect to see black bears, Bengal tigers, bobcats, brown bear, cougars and many more beautiful creatures.
