It's exciting to see all the improvements going into the Dallas Zoo. The Chimpanzee habitat and the Tiger habitat are my two favorite exhibits.

See the Fort Worth Zoo instead

I have lived in Dallas my whole life and the Dallas Zoo has never been our best attraction. The Dallas World Aqaurium is where you want to go. The Fort Worth Zoo is much better if you are in the area.
I DON'T KNOW IF OUR FAMILY WENT ON A DAY THAT ALL THE ANIMALS WERE SLEEPING, BUT ALL WE SAW WERE A LOT OF BIRDS. THE FORT WORTH ZOO IS MUCH NICER

A fun day

Yes the zoo is a little old but they have had MANY updates and additions! Such as a wonderful inactive bird experience. You can feed several different types of birds, not just one kind like many other zoos! The children's area is one of the best I've ever seen, with a Discovery House filled with puppets and puzzle, there's always a ...
I LOVE the Dallas Zoo! We've been members for about seven years, now, and we love it! They are always making improvements, and when you think the zoo can't get any better, they add a super-cool exhibit or expand one of the current exhibits. In the past couple of years they have opened a new (and bigger) children's' zoo that children ...
The zoo is a great destination for children. It has multiple exhibits and attractions. However, I would have to say the Fort Worth Zoo is better. I have been to both over the years, and I think the Fort Worth one has kept up better over the years. It is more entertaining and much more appealing. It is larger and has more to do. Both are good, but if you must pick, I would try the Fort Worth one.

Great Zoo
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/19/06
I have been to the Dallas Zoo dozens of times over the last I'd say 7 maybe more years. I love it. I am studying Biology/Zoology so for me the zoo is a great place. I do relaize that the zoo does not seem what you would think of when you think of Dallas, but if you make many trips each year for the past few years you would see the changes ...
After seeing some of the best zoos in the country this zoo takes the back seat. It is very run down and I feel sorry for the animals. The city needs to invest some money and upgrade. The FT. Worth zoo is much better. I would recommend it over Dallas any day. If you have the time the best zoo is in San Diego, Ca.
It is a great Place for the family. We had fun too with our friends. My eight year old son never stopped asking about the way the animals live and behave.
It was very nice to see everything, and its soo well kept. We wanna take our daughter their when shes old enough to like it. Its definatly one of the best in Texas! There are two other zoos that Ive been to living my eintire life here in the grat big state and I love it. I really like making trips to Dallas and enjoying everything it has to offer.
