Dallas Zoo (historic city zoo)

The Dallas Zoo, located on approximately 106 acres in south Dallas, traces its origins to 1888 and is the oldest continuously operating zoo in Texas. The institution operates a range of exhibits and conservation programs, including large-species habitats and an accredited AZA presence, and is a regular destination for local families, school groups, and community events. The zoo's public education and animal-care programs are documented elements of its role in the Dallas community.
