    Very nice. They do close early though so I'd recommend planning in advanced! My favorite animal was the gorilla and giraffe!

    Our family has year round membership to the Dallas zoo. We go at least twice a month. Membership is so worth it. My son loves the dinosaur exhibit, which is also included in our membership. We have to see the dinosaur exhibit every time with visit the zoo, per our son's request! The new butterfly exhibit is great as well. The winter holiday lights at the zoo is coming soon. We hope the zoo will continue to have the interactive dinosaur shows with videos lights and sounds again. My son wanted to go every night last year just for that alone!

    LOVE this zoo! So many fascinating species, in large, natural habitats. Animals look happy and healthy in their spaces. Keepers are knowledgeable and passionate about their animals.
    Facility was large, but easy to navigate. I attended many of the keeper presentations and enjoyed the experience, good for many ages.
    -love a fellow zookeeper❤️

    Came to visit the Dallas Zoo for the first time since I was a kid and I was so excited. I loved seeing all the animals I think I went to see every single one. I went with my family and we all enjoyed it very much. The Dallas Zoo is a place you must go to when visiting Dallas. You will not be disappointed.

    I had a really good experience at the zoo. The place is well maintained, clean, and has plenty of space to walk around and enjoy at a relaxed pace. The animals looked well cared for, and there was a good variety to see—from exotic species to some more local ones. The facilities are clearly marked, making it easy to explore without getting lost.

    I also liked that there were green areas to rest, food stands, and activities for kids. It’s an ideal spot to spend the day with family, a partner, or even alone if you enjoy nature and animals.

    I definitely recommend visiting. It’s worth it.

    I took my family to the incredible Dallas Zoo 🐘, and we had such a fantastic day! We explored many different habitats, from the African savanna to the primate section 🐒, and were amazed by the diverse collection of animals. The zoo is massive, offering a lot of fun for everyone, so plan for a full day of adventure there. I highly recommend visiting the Dallas Zoo if you're looking for a fun, educational experience with your loved ones 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. It's a wonderful place to create lasting memories with your love ones.
