Dallas Zoo

Volunteered the day here with work.Found this to be such an amazing place to unwind and reconnect with nature! It was great staffing one of the activity centers and helping kids learn about organic farming So many amazing animals too!Best part is they had the zebras and giraffes in the same exhibit!! Never seen that before :)

We have been to a lot of zoos and I would sit. This one is slightly better than average. However, it was still a really nice zoo to go to. We went in the afternoon and the animals had all just been fed, which made them very active. This is the most active I've ever seen hippos so that was really cool. They have a fast variety of different animals and we were able to feed a giraffe so that was cool. There are not any other zoo experiences that they offer which is a bummer cause sometimes we'll do those.

I attended Dallas Zoo Lights, Presented by Reliant Energy and it was a great experience! The zoo was beautifully lit up and a whole new experience at night! It was very pleasant to walk through the zoo and the family had an amazing time.

I recently visited the Dallas zoo for the first time a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it! It doesn't feel like it's super big, but it is very big! There's so much to do and look at. It offers a variety of things to do for adults all the way down to little toddlers. They also do a GREAT job at keeping the place shaded and cool during the hot summer months. There are also several places to go inside and cool down. I recently became a member and there are so many perks of being a member like, monthly coupons, discounts on food/merch, free things, free feedings, free parking/entry, and so much more. I think it's worth it, especially if you think you'll go more than twice in a year.

We visited the Dallas Zoo as part of our City Pass on our Texas trip. Normal admission cost is about $22 to $25 depending on the day you go. The zoo is located just a short distance south of the Dallas downtown area. The zoo is broken up into 2 different sections. Once you enter the zoo, if you continue to the left you will head to the Giants of the Savanna and the Wilds of Africa sections. There is a long tunnel that takes you under the city streets to this area. This was my favorite part of the zoo. There is a beautiful lion habitat that is connected to a restaurant. Be sure to go inside the restaurant, because there is a giant viewing window here and when we visited all of the lions were sleeping in this area. From the outside viewing area, you could not see them. The giraffe feeding area was also another cool experience. You can purchase some food and then there is a separate area that you can stand and feed them as they come right up to you. On the other side of the zoo, known as Zoo North, this is where you will find a children's zoo (which has a water play area), the train ride and much much more. Warning, this area of the zoo is a lot of hills. So if you have anyone in a wheel chair or that has trouble walking, this area can be difficult. I kept thinking, it would be nice if there was some kind of tram that you could ride that would take you around the park. Apparently there was a monorail ride that closed a few years ago. This is unfortunate. Overall the Dallas zoo is very nice. It's not an all-day activity. We spent about 3 hours and were able to see everything. If you are going during the weekday, be prepared for a lot of school groups.

The Dallas zoo looks way more amazing than it used to. I had a wonderful time during my visit with friends. The animals looked happy and satisfied, which made me happy. I would recommend a visit for anyone who hasn't gone in a long time. I was also able to for while I was there some dinosaur kale. I picked enough for several meals.

We visited on a Saturday morning, arriving shortly after they opened. There was a wait exiting the highway and getting into the parking lot. We had prepaid for tickets so it was fast moving through the entrance (they scanned the tickets from my phone).We did not have any issues bringing our own snacks (we have food allergies) or water. There are food and beverages for purchase, including alcohol. There are also experiences inside such as riding the carousel and feeding the giraffes that have an additional charge. We especially enjoyed the snakes in the reptile house. This is definitely a solid choice for family-friendly fun but I only gave it four stars instead of five because it lacks some of the "wow factor" of some other zoos that I have visited. There also weren't as many animals visible as I expected.

We got the Dallas citywide pass and it includes an admission hereYou also get to feed the giraffe

This was our first visit to the Dallas Zoo. The Dallas CityPass is a great way to get discounted tickets to area attractions. In the warmer months, get their early so you have a chance to see the animals. We felt we got to see a lot of animals out and about (even though we were really sweating!). We didn't try any of the food or beverage options to comment there, but we did notice they sold beer. Another bonus is having a DART stop nearby the zoo - giving you options to get there and avoiding paying for parking.

The Dallas Zoo was a lot bigger than I thought! My wife and I went to the zoo on a Saturday afternoon and parking was pretty difficult but they had opened up some extra parking that wasn't too far away. The habitats were in good condition and I liked the layout of the zoo too! Pretty clean overall and we had a great time walking around and seeing all of the animals. Unfortunately it was a pretty hot day when I went and none of the drinking fountains I passed were working.Had a good time and would definitely come again at off-peak times!
