This page provides practical details to help you plan a smooth visit, from parking and transit options to seating arrangements for events, plus trusted nearby hotels and dining choices. We’ve got you covered for a straightforward, reliable experience—like having a friend in the business who’s got the inside scoop.

Address: 650 South R.L. Thornton Freeway, Dallas, TX 75203. The Zoo hosts popular events year-round, including Safari Nights concerts, Zoo To Do galas, Member Fall Festival, and exclusive Backstage Safari experiences. Please note that seating for most events is lawn-based, with Adirondack chair rentals and private cabanas available for Safari Nights. Capacity is typically influenced by parking availability, and the Zoo continues to expand parking to accommodate more guests.

For drivers, general public parking is noted, with pricing varying by event and date. A new parking garage is planned to add nearly 600 more spaces, enhancing overall capacity and reducing bottlenecks on busy days.
