About Dallas Zoo
The winner of our 2008 Parents' Picks quest to find the best place for family bonding in Dallas-Fort Worth, the Dallas Zoo offers a variety of family events year round.
The zoo is divided into three main sections: Wilds of Africa, a 25-acre tract featuring the six major African habitats; ZooNorth, which includes Bug U (a very creepy tribute to Texas' invertebrates, from cockroaches to brown recluse spiders); and the Lacerte Family Children's Zoo, which offers pony rides, storytimes, and animal encounters.
Camps and classes are offered throughout the year for children ages three to 13, including a Preschool at the Zoo program for three- and four-year-olds. The preschool program runs from September to May, with classes meeting for 2-1/2 hours, one day a week. Participants meet live animals and explore the zoo. For further details, email publicprograms@dallaszooed.com.
Party Place, the birthday party room, is located in the Lacerte Family Children's Zoo and can accommodate up to 30 guests. Visit the website or call for pricing.
Family membership is $79/year.
Discounts are available for military families, DART riders, and school groups.
The Zoo is closed only on Christmas Day.
