Conveniently located only three miles outside the city, the Dallas Zoo boasts more than 100 acres for visitors to explore. There are approximately 2,000 individual animals representing more than 400 species, and whether you're interested in the wildlife of Africa, South America, or the Australian Outback, you'll find something here to tickle your fancy. Aside from spotting animals in the exhibits, all of which are designed to resemble natural habitats, visitors can feed giraffes and learn about animals from zoologists. When school isn't in session, the zoo also offers day camps for kids between Kindergarten and Grade 5.
