The largest zoological experience in Texas, the 106-acre Dallas Zoo offers fun, educational and entertaining experiences for the whole family. The Zoo's mission is to inspire a passion for nature and conserve wildlife, and guests can see a number of endangered species and learn about a variety of conservation projects the Dallas Zoo supports. Opened in 2010, our award-winning Giants of the Savanna habitat is internationally known. The savanna features elephants, ostrich, zebras, impalas, giraffes, and guineafowl, often mingling together. The Dallas Zoo is home to a herd of five female elephants and 11 giraffes, which guests can feed by hand. Guests will see the fastest land mammal on Earth, the cheetah, as well as African lions who often spend their days sleeping just inches away from the viewing wall inside the Serengeti Grill restaurant. The Wilds of Africa area features rare animals such as gorillas, chimpanzees and okapi. Guests will enjoy getting eye-to-eye with African penguins as they swim effortlessly underwater. Highlights of the ZooNorth section include the Lacerte Family Children's Zoo, a top-rated reptile and amphibian complex featuring albino alligators, and the Koala Walkabout, featuring the only koalas in Texas, red kangaroo, wallabies, and a lorikeet feeding area for up-close adventures. For alternative transportation to the Dallas Zoo, consider the DART Red Line, which delivers guests to the Zoo's front entrance.

Nice Zoo!
Not the best Zoo I've been to but they do have some nice exhibits...when they are not closed for renovation. We went to the north part of the zoo first and were a bit disappointed at how many animals were off exhibit. Luckily the Wilds of Africa exhibit made up for that. You can feed the giraffes (for an extra $6) and see many species of wildlife roaming together in the same exhibit! I loved it. Its just how they would be in the wild. Cost of admission is $15-17 depending on what day of the week you are going and it's $10 to park. I think it's worth the price of admission...they also have a nice sized gift shop as well. Definitely worth a visit.

Really nice zoo
The zoo is really nice and they have all the standard zoo animals you would expect to find at a zoo. You can’t beat the pricing as it was only 26 dollars for 2 adults and a 2 year old and that includes a 10 dollar parking fee. You do need to book tickets in advance so make sure to check out the website. Suggest going in the morning as it is less crowded.
