Fort Worth Zoo Educational Facility is one building that on zoo property that holds 180 people.ELB wrote: Fort Worth Deputy City Attorney Gerald Pruitt said guns can be banned in the zoo because it is a registered childcare facility, and, thus, a gun-free zone under state law.

While it is debatable whether they can even post this building, it is absolute clear to me that even if the can, the whole zoo cannot be posted.
For personal reasons I cannot, but if anyone else would like to point this out to Mr. Pruitt (politely please!!) have at it.

For my part, I have filled a complaint with TXDCF that the Fort Worth Zoo Child Care Center is not in compliance with many state laws, including:
- not having the proper amount of sleep mats or cribs.
- not having a designated storage area for every pupil with their name on it.
- having pay phones- this against Texas law for child care facilities
- having immediate access to chickens and reptiles (petting zoo)
- insufficient number of bathrooms for capacity of facility
- locking doors on bathrooms that are above a child's reach
...and that is just what I could think of off the top of my head.
