A lot of animals!!! A very good place to go with your family.

My kids have volunteered here for years. Highly recommended!!! Many great changes!

Great. Thanks for the mist-ers, they help with the heat!!

The zoo was so different all lit up with Christmas lights. They did a great job

Can't say enough good things about this place. They anticipate crowds and handle them well !

Good:
Fun place to see lots of exotic animals
Wilds of Africa and Gorilla areas are the best
Not too crowded on weekdays in the Winter.
Discount tickets Jan-Feb
Miniature elevated train provides aerial views of half the zoo
Picnics allowed. Several restaurants in the zoo.
Giraffe feeding area is a highlight
Electric scooters available for those with mobility challenges

Bad:
Poor documentation of zoo schedule.
Hard to figure out what happens when.
Picnic area not shaded at all.
A few restaurants were closed.
Poor viewing options for some animals such as the Tigers.

okay. thought the enclosures were a bit small. try goung to ine in san diegos zoos

Fun place to head with the kids for a morning or the whole day. Plenty of shady spots when it's hot or raining. They've recently changed a few exhibits and added some new animals.

Loved it because I was visiting my sister and kids from out of state. Took the train right to the zoo and road the moon rail overlooking the zoo.

Love this zoo!! Especially the giraffes area, my son loves these animals and for him is so exciting to get to feed them. Very nice experience for kids and adults. One of the best places to visit in the city, lots of fun!

Loved the Dallas Zoo! Open and easy to walk through with three kids one was in a stroller. All the animals were out and were visible and active. Everyone we encountered were friendly and all smiles. They actually looked like they enjoyed their job. My kids loved it and can't wait to go back. We also stayed for the Christmas lights and it was awesome! Plenty of activities and lots to see! Great job Dallas!

Outstanding....If you are in neeed of an electric cart, or if you dont.....GET ONE.....they are awesome...lol and with shade canopies attached. We had a ball there amazing staff, amazing animals, beutifully kept facility....hats off to the Dallas Zoo...hated that I was only passing through....this is a place you want an annual pass too for sure....

We had a great time! The weather was beautiful and every staff member we came in contact with was very friendly/helpful. We grabbed a mushroom, bacon, gouda - very tasty. Even though it was a little pricy(like all food at any amusement type place) it was very filling. I may split it with someone next time. It's that filling! Grab a conservation cup and pay less than $1 for your next refill - cup never expires!

The animals look healthy and happy. The place is always clean for the most part. The safari train tour is really cool.

Seriously disappointed with this zoo. It was my 3 yr old's 1st time going to the zoo and even she would ask where all of the animals were.

I have mixed feelings about zoos in general, but the Dallas Zoo seems to take very good care of their animals. I loved seeing the baby elephant, Ajabu.

It's the zoo. You know what a zoo looks like. New hippo exhibit is nice.

Saw the incredible Christmas lights. It was so beautiful I can't wait to go again next year!

Pretty nice size zoo. It does get pretty hot and steamy by mid day in the summer. Parking lot fills up pretty quick even a few minutes after opening.

Great kids activities. You may want to bring Swim clothes for the kid because they have a fountain in the children s part.

Every time I go there is some different activity and my children love it.

Never been to the zoo before always on the freeway passing thru

Had a fantastic time here with my family recently. The animal exhibits were spectacular and the food was very good and priced well.

It's an amazing zoo, the kids had so much fun. You can take some pics and get a delicious food.

Be prepared to walk a lot but they have lots of shady areas. I enjoyed their elephant giraffe and reptile exhibits. The large silverback gorilla is also quite striking.

It's a great zoo! Lots of animals, wasnt very crowded. Respectable staff and feeding the giraffes was AWESOME!

The Zoo itself is nice, parking is a bit of an issue, there are lot of things you have to pay extra for once your in. The Fort Worth Zoo overall is much nicer.

Went to the Zoo today wow so many kids. Glad they were all having a good time. We did goto see the Elephant talk but at the scheduled time nothing happened. Spoke to Volunteer they knew nothing they said they didn't get any info from the Zoo staff what was happening so a bit more communication between Volunteers and Staff would be helpful.

U need a whole day to see all, and I'm pretty sure the animals are more active in the night, cuz they sleep and rest all day

Alot of the animals were out where we could see them . Prices were outrageous .

You can look at the giraffe very much to be a and give it food

Lots of attractions and very friendly people love how nice and caring the keeper are they will gladly answer all your questions about any of their animals would definitly recommend going and seeing their giants of Africa exibition its the best

The park itself is beautiful and huge! I spent almost 6 hours there! The people working there are very kind and there are always events or presentations of assorted animals going on. Be prepared to spend a lot of money though if you want to eat or go on the train ride.

Very awesome place for a family retreat. Fun and educational at the same time. Prices are well worth it. Staff are out and about the zoo in case there is an emergency or you have any questions. They are friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals and zoo itself. Get your walking shoes on because you will be in for a long walk ! Most of the exhibits are outdoors, you can feed the girrafe for $5 which is app 4 crackers or pieces of lettuce. We ripped them into smaller pieces, great upclose interactions for kids and very fun. Alot of the animals are right against the glass such as cheetah, monkeys, otters so you can take nice quality pictures, especially in open habitats. The shows the staff do are good quality and you learn alot about the animals, very detailed and FUN. You can bring your own food and drinks which I recommend if you dont plan on spending an arm and a leg. There are a few air conditioned exhibits to escape the heat, and lots of cool down stations where water will spray you to stay cool. Highly recommended !

This zoo has a lot to offer. It is working hard to focus on particular collections of exhibits.
It has two main areas - the wilds of Africa, and Zoo North. Wilds of Africa has penguins, a mandrill exhibit, a lowland Gorilla habitat, Chimpanzee area, Lion habitat, Cheetah enclosure, warthog, and river hog, Giraffe feeding station, Elephant area shared by ostrich and gazelles. Also there are meerkats, springbok, hyrax, an aviary, an excellent hippopotamus exhibit, and okapis, and saddle billed stork. I was a little sad that the rhinoceros , blesbok, oryx and bongo are no longer there. I would give it five stars, but their African hoofstock are no longer as diverse as previously.
I haven't even touched on Zoo North in this review. Perhaps in time, I will be able to write about it as well.

Clean lots of shade Great place to take kids and be active

Great place, have very friendly staff, go to the part where they have the giraffe

We love this zoo! It's large but not too big. If you are local then you should definitely buy a membership. We love watching the elephants and feeding the giraffes. The keeper talks are fun and interactive. They seem to be very well staffed. Get there early though because parking is limited and you will end up down the street, not good with smaller kids.

Was a fun zoo, I prefer the ft worth zoo over this one. Has several things to do,parking sucks..food was okay, monorail looked fun but it had an impressively long line...

The Dallas Zoo was pretty disappointing some exhibits were closed. If this is the biggest zoo in Texas I wouldn't want to visit any other zoo in Texas.

Despite being May, it was 95 degrees out. The spray stations were on and the air conditioning was up high in the building's. 5 Kindergartners and still saw almost the whole zoo in 3.5 hours and stopped for lunch. We just skipped the children's zoo because the kids were tired and it was about time to leave. Water fountains were plentiful and all of the animals were out and in view if not active.

We did the Wilds of Africa this trip. I had some difficulty with my tickets, but the kind folks at the gate booth sorted it eagerly and efficiently. Entering the park, signage was clear and paths broad and easy to navigate. The tunnel to the African exhibits is lined with jaw-droppingly beautiful animal murals. Charismatic penguins noisily greeted us at its end, and we stopped for a picnic lunch past the mandrills in their huge enclosure full of enrichment. From food, we hit up the new hippo pond. Folks, those are some happy happy hippos. The kids played on animal statuary as we wended past great apes and pretty good birds, and we wrapped up our visit in a huge savannah with giraffes, zebra, ostriches, elephants and much more. All the animals had tons of space and habitats that matched their natural ones, with big rocks, tall grass, or large elevation changes as appropriate. None of them seemed depressed, though the meerkats did give me some suspicious looks. Only negative I can think of was some parking weirdness, but it wasn't anything a single cone wouldn't have fixed. 9/10 would gawk again.

We absolutely love this zoo! So glad to be home from out of town business.

Loved this zoo! Really big and the baby gorillas were so cute! Also, the zookeepers are really nice and Informative.

We love the keeper talks and the children's zoo area is perfect for the kids to cool off before we leave.

I LOVE the zoo my personal favorite is the penguins but this zoo is perfect, its a pretty decent walk (good for a entertaining jog) or you could watch the satisfying animals. There is a telescope for the birds so you can watch them fly around or play I Spy with your family

Nice place to visit. You can spend quality time In here.

Loved it! Large zoo to spend the day with family. Plenty of opportunities to interact with animals. They teach you about conservation and endangered species. The animals look healthy and well taken car of. It is lovely during xmas with lights and trails and even Santa!

I loved seeing all of the amazing animals! Really enjoyed the cool buildings when it got too hot, you could just walk into an air conditioned room and cool off for a bit. The dinosaur exhibit was awesome!

We had an awesome experience at the Dallas Zoo today. Even though some of the exhibits were not open, the time spent with my family and seeing the beautiful animals that were out today and having the people at the zoo explain things about those animals to us.. it was amazing.

Went to Dallas last week with my family. Went to the zoo and loved it
The animals looked very content and the was very well kept. Greetings from utah.

Moved to digital via an app that handles tickets for members. the Wilds of Africa Adventure Safari Monorail definitely a great way to see the zoo quickly. also recommend feeding the giraffes and the syrup for birds

Maybe we were there too early because all the animals were sleeping and inactive.

Good place to spend time. Adequate car parking, clean bathrooms, etc.

Had a great day here. Gorilla exhibit was my favorite!
