So You Wanna See a Hippo in Flip-Flops? How Much Will It Cost You?
Let's face it, folks, there's nothing quite like a day at the zoo. You get to see majestic creatures (hopefully not plotting your demise), try and decipher those adorable/slightly terrifying animal noises, and witness the pure joy on a kid's face as they discover a giraffe is, in fact, a real thing (and not just something out of a fever dream).

Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here's the lowdown on Dallas Zoo ticket prices that won't leave you feeling like you need a second mortgage.

| How Much Do Dallas Zoo Tickets Cost |
Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's All About Seasons!
Unlike the weather in Texas (which can be a bit of a rollercoaster), Dallas Zoo ticket prices vary depending on the season. We're talking peak season (when everyone wants to see the animals frolicking in the sunshine) and shoulder season (when the crowds are a little thinner and the animals might be rocking some sweet fall sweaters, if that's your thing).
Here's a sneak peek at the price range:
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
- General Admission: This ticket is your golden ticket to see everything from lions lounging to monkeys monkeying around. Prices range from a cool $8 to a whoa-worthy $24, depending on the season and whether you're an adult, a wee one (3-11 years old), a senior citizen with wisdom to share with the creatures, or a tiny human under 2 (who gets in for free, those lucky ducks).
Pro Tip: For the most accurate pricing, it's best to check the Dallas Zoo's website (https://www.dallaszoo.com/plan-your-visit/buy-tickets/) before you mosey on over.
Special Discounts: Whoop There It Is!
Now, listen up, because here's where things get exciting (almost as exciting as a meerkat standing on its hind legs). The Dallas Zoo offers some sweet discounts for those who qualify.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.

Dallas Zoo Members: If you're a zoo member, then congratulations, you basically have the run of the place (except the penguin enclosure, those little dudes are escape artists)! Membership gets you free admission and parking, so you can waltz right in and spend all day getting schooled by a parrot (don't worry, they're much better teachers than your high school math teacher).
-
Military Discount: Thank you for your service! The Dallas Zoo offers a discount for active military and veterans. Just show your ID and enjoy a little animal therapy on us.
-
Other AZA Institution Members: Calling all zoo aficionados! If you're a member of another accredited zoo (AZA stands for Association of Zoos and Aquariums, basically the VIP club of zoos), then you might be eligible for a discount. Contact the Dallas Zoo directly to find out.
So, How Much Will It Cost You?
Alright, alright, enough suspense. The final cost of your Dallas Zoo adventure depends on a few things:
- The season you visit (remember, peak season equals higher prices)
- How many people are in your crew (those little ones under 2 are free!)
- Whether you're a zoo member, military hero, or fellow AZA member with mad zoo love
But hey, no matter the cost, a day at the Dallas Zoo is an investment in fun, memories, and maybe even a newfound appreciation for that weird bird with the crazy beak.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
So grab your sunscreen, your sense of adventure, and get ready to be amazed by the wonders of the animal kingdom (without having to leave Texas)!
