Founded in 1888, the Dallas Zoo is the largest zoological park in Texas and home to 406 species and 1,800 animals. The zoo is divided into three sections, The Wilds of Africa, Zoo North, and the Children's Zoo, each with their own set of attractions perfect for adults and kids of all ages.
Head to The Wilds of Africa and explore exhibits like the forest aviary where you can see colorful parrots, songbirds, and waterfowl, or the Giants of the Savannah exhibit where you can see anything from elephants to zebras, impalas, and many more animals.
The little ones will be wowed by the children's zoo at the Dallas Zoo and all the attractions it has to offer. Enjoy pony rides or stop at the Underzone where you can see mole rats that lurk beneath the surface and kids can crawl through a burrow to pop up in a safety bubble to observe a dwarf mongoose in action.
