The Dallas Zoo is the largest zoo in Texas with 106 acres located south of downtown Dallas, Texas, in Marsalis Park. The Dallas Zoo is open 364 days a year excluding Christmas Day and welcomes more than one million guests yearly. Founded with just two deer and two mountain lions in 1888 as the first zoo in the Southwest, this City of Dallas-owned but privately managed zoo is a thriving example of a successful public-private partnership. As an accredited member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) for 35 years, the Zoo provides a home for more than 2,000 animals representing over 400 species. The Dallas Zoo aims to inspire and empower visitors to take action on behalf of wildlife in Texas and around the world.
