Founded in 1888, the Dallas Zoo was the first zoo in the Southwest, and is the largest zoological experience in Texas.  This year its 11-acre Giants of the Savanna exhibit was named one of the top-10 exhibits in the country by USA Today's 10Best Competition.  The habitat is the only one in the U.S. that integrates elephants, giraffes, impala, zebra and guinea fowl in one shared environment.  Accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, the zoo features a 106-acre park, thousands of animals, and an education department that offers programs for all ages.  Be sure to follow along for updates on the amazing animals, conservation initiatives and programs for the whole family on www.dallaszoo.com and social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Zoohoo! blog.
