Dallas Zoo - Zoo in Dallas - 650 S R.L. Thornton Fwy, USA

We went on a Wed 12/27/23. It was too cold for some of the animals to be out. The gorilla and big safari animals were neat to see. The hippo wasn't out due to the lower temps. It is paved. It was a long walk from where we were able to park to the main entrance. Purchase tickets and parking online. Parking was $12.

Nice little walk-through with lots of lights. The dinosaurs decked out in holiday attire are especially fun - probably my favorite part. Temperature was in the 40s when we went. Not too crowded with plenty of picture opportunities. Lots of people in matching pajama bottoms or wrapped in small blankets. Admission is fair but treats and cocoa are overpriced. An overall decent family fun night for a couple hours at a leisurely pace.

Had a wonderful time with my family. All of the staff that we interacted with today during our visit were great. Food and drink prices are very reasonable in my opinion. Overall great experience, we will be back soon.

Great places to visit and staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t miss the petting zoo for the kids . The washrooms are clean and located in good distance and restaurants are located in Center of both zones. Parking is paid for daily 10$ and it’s safe . We would definitely visit soon !

The Dallas Zoo is nice but everything is very spread out. It is a lot of walking and not much to see between exhibits. That is the part I don’t like. The dinosaur exhibit is the best part to me. They move and make noises, it’s pretty cool. My kids also enjoyed that part the most. I would arrive early if you want to park close to the entrance. It’s a little walk from the other parking lot. Also, There’s a huge Merry-Go-Round near the entrance.

I've only visited this zoo a few times over the years, but I always enjoy it when I do go. Tbe animals are very well cared for, and the enclosures are well kept. The grounds are nicely landscaped as well. I can't speak on the food and snacks offered because I've never tried any. On my most recent visit, they were decorating for the holidays and it was looking very pretty already even in the daytime. If you're visiting or living in the DFW area I'd recommend paying a visit to this zoo.

It was an alright experience. The kids petting zoo was pretty disappointing. There were only 2 goats out to pet and they only allow one group at a time to go in. Giraffe feeding was also closed. A lot of the exhibits are rather small for the animals in them like the elephant enclosure. Each section is pretty spaced out from the next so unfortunately we only made it halfway through before they were rushing out the gate because it was closing time. There were a few different attractions like the carousel and train which are kid friendly however the prices are not unless you’re a member.

Loves that we got see almost EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL...and the ones we didn't get to see had a sign in the cage that they were not in their habitat today so that help us instead of sitting there searching. Highlight of the day was the kids getting to feed the giraffe! Tons of wonderful snakes as well! Kids love the play area and petting zoo by the barn as well
