Explore the Dallas Zoo

Home to over 2,000 animals, the Dallas Zoo is Texas's largest zoological experience. Established in 1888, it is the oldest zoo in the state, initially founded by the Dallas Park Board. Its mission is to inspire a passion for nature while supporting wildlife conservation.

The 106-acre zoo features unique environments like the internationally recognized Giants of the Savanna exhibit, where elephants, giraffes, and zebras cohabitate. Visitors can interact directly with animals, feeding giraffes or observing cheetahs and lions in proximity.
