Dallas Zoo Management

Founded in 1888, 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 for 35 years, the Zoo provides a home for over 2,000 animals representing over 400 species. The nonprofit Dallas Zoo welcomes more than one million guests yearly. We aim to inspire and empower visitors to act on behalf of wildlife in Texas and worldwide by providing our guests with real-world opportunities to make memorable connections with nature. The Dallas Zoo is committed to supporting conservation efforts globally and has committed $425,000 annually to support conservation projects.
