Dallas Zoo

Truly remarkable zoo ! Great selection of animals, the grounds are spacious and properly maintained. Don't miss the cheetahs, anteaters and the many bird exhibits . Go midweek to avoid the crowds.

First timer and was not disappointed! I think it's better than Ft. Worth. Loved the different animals they had, came in just in time for the snake feeding (gross!) and LOVED feeding the giraffes!

Dallas Zoo is the LARGEST zoo in the state and the ONLY zoo in Texas where you can see koalas! Visit them at 1:30 every day for a special Keeper Encounter and to see them awake and moving around.

Make sure to check out the activity board at the main entrance for all of the great FREE animal talks going on throughout the day! It is amazing to see their work up close.

Just left. Great zoo . I love how almost all the animals are endangered. Let's you get a chance to see them before they're all gone. Cobras are awesome, must see the reptile place!

The new addition to this zoo has been a shop stopper. If you've ever wanted to feed giraffes, this is the zoo to do it at! The atmosphere is exotic and breath-taking. Go and visit the animals.

Go ape at the Dallas Zoo. It's the largest zoological park in Texas (bigger than Fort Worth's Zoo ). The Dallas Zoo is home to 406 species and 1,800 animals (6,800 counting invertebrates).

Make sure to check in on four square for a free scoop of ice cream in the cafeteria . This zoo is huge! Gotta check out the giraffes, the grill for an up close look at lions , and the bird show.

This is an awesome attraction for visitors and residents a like. They have a children's zoo within the larger zoo where kids can pet and handle animals. The Aviary show is AWESOME!

Good to visit even in summer since there is good amount of shade on most walkways..remember to carry lots of water since a small water bottle costs $3. Faucets let u refill but water is warm..

Best buy, conservation cup. $1.00 refills & five locations in the zoo to fill it up. Best part is that nothing goes to the landfill. The cup is totally reusable! Conservation at its best!!

If you live nearby and have kids get the season family pass you get free parking free unlimited carrasel rides free pony rides and much more it pays for itself by the third visit

Great place. We were there for 3 hours. Only 15 dollars. Completely worth it

Make a mental note: viewing actual animals in each of the nicely done habitats is optional unless you're just interested in flamingos

What a beautiful place. It is well worth the trip. We had a great time and can't wait to visit again.

so Dallas Zoo: well done. new habitats, lots of keepers, energetic staff . in-park monorail doesn't run in hight heat (always?) due to lack of a/c. DART light rail goes directly there for $1.75

My bf and I really enjoyed it, we got to feed the giraffes and ride a camel. We have a membership to a museum in Ohio so we got 1/2 off admission! 12 bucks for a very fun afternoon, I felt like a kid!

Excellent walking zoo ... generous cooling stations

Best time and days to come to the zoo is on a holiday morning. No one is ever here. Cooler in the morning and animals more active.

Feeding and petting the giraffes is a really neat experience! Be careful of the staff , though. They love their rules.

Go to the Serengeti Grill in the hot part of the day. The lions like to lay right next to the window.

Go see the gorillas! Plan on spending a whole day there because it's huge! It's only $5 between December and February! It's AWESOME!!!

Great children's zoo . Feeding birds was a lot of fun. Staff are very helpful.

The new Giants of the Savanna section is AMAZING. Go early in the morning (when they open) and all the animals are out for feeding and not hiding from the heat.

After driving 2 hrs from Austin, I was bummed! The weather was ridiculous. I didn't get a chance to see any animals AT ALL! I'll be back next year for sure.

Dallas Zoo encompasses 95 acres of exotic and traditional zoo animals. Visitors are greeted at the entrance by the tallest statue in Texas—a 67.5 foot giraffe.

Giraffes!!! Been going every year at least since the "giants of the savanna" thing opened up!

We parked far away on the street, close to a gas station , because the parking lot (the overflow one) was full. They charged us the parking fee anyway.

The Nature Exchange is amazing! Bring in rocks or other nature items and the staff there will teach you all about what you brought!

Go ahead and get a membership, especially if you plan on going more than once. All the kids/grandkids not only get in for free but also free Carousel & Monorail rides. Read more

The giraffes are great

Be aware that the zoo is BIG. You are going to do a lot of walking.

even though ft worth has a bigger, nicer zoo , i am still sentimental about the dallas zoo (many visits there as a kid). definitely worth checking out with the fam... Read more

Variety of different animals, plus feedind the giraffes.

the guy by the giraffes is the best! thanks for the lettuce!

Ask them to bring back the passport program. Kids still might be able to get an animal stamp on their hand.

Best $5 lettuce you've ever bought. Worth it to feed the giraffes & get up close & personal. You won't be disappointed.

The giants of the savanna is mesmerizing!

Best time to come is 9am on a Monday. Animals active and less people.

If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, even if it has a monkey kind of shape; if it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, if it doesn't have a tail its not a monkey it's an ape.

Go see the lions at 2pm. You can watch the zoo keepers put them thru their paces for meatballs . Awesome!

Whoever made the navigation signs at this zoo needs to be punched in the throat. Like the nighttime summer hours though.

No surprise the food options are overpriced processed junk food. The bird show is amazing and well worth checking out.

Take the monorail . Nice break from walking and you see some spots you can't walk to.

Actually Dallas Zoo in the largest Zoo in Texas . Fort Worth seems bigger because their layout in more spaced. Dallas's has more land and animal space exhibit .

Knowledgeable staff , amazing animals.

Don't forget your free scoop of blue bell ice cream w check in! #legit

One of the best zoos I have ever be to.

Children's zoo in the morning then rest of the zoo after lunch . Pony rides end at noon.

Apparently the ice cream people don't ever know when Foursquare has a deal on the free ice cream . They didn't even check mine, even though ibdid in fact have one.
