What are the Must-See Things to Do in Dallas?

12 The Dallas Zoo

The Dallas Zoo, three miles south of downtown, is one of the top attractions in the city, with more than one million guests each year to its collection of just about every type of animal you can think of. More than 2000 animals from 400-plus species are housed in naturalistic habitats across 106 acres. Up-close experiences, like giraffe feedings and reptile encounters, are available, along with many intriguing habitats like the Chimpanzee Forest, the Hippo Outpost, and the Tiger Viewing building.
