DALLAS (KDAF) — The Dallas Zoo’s popular Dollar Days will return on Thursday, July 17, and
Tuesday, August 5, offering $1 admission for all guests ages 3 and up (children 2 and under are always free).
Admission tickets for both days are available now online at DallasZoo.com. The Zoo encourages guests to purchase early because tickets sell out fast every year. Tickets must be secured in advance, as walk-up admission will not be available on Dollar Days.
“Dollar Days are one of the most important parts of our summer because they’re all about giving back to the community that gives so much to us,” said Lisa New, CEO of the Dallas Zoo. “We’re deeply grateful for the support we receive all year long, and it’s incredibly rewarding to welcome thousands of families through our gates to enjoy the Zoo together. These days reflect the heart of who we are – making meaningful connections between people and wildlife, and ensuring those experiences are accessible to everyone.”
In addition to discounted entry, guests will find snack specials available at pop-up locations in ZooNorth and Wilds of Africa, including $1, $2, and $3 deals on select snacks and beverages, including popcorn, ice cream, canned drinks, and more. Also, making its return this year, hot dogs are back as a Dollar Day deal, priced at $4 each. Guests may bring their own food and drinks, although glass items, alcoholic beverages, and single-use disposable straws are not permitted.
Hours:
- Hours for both Dollar Days are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- The Zoo’s adjusted summer hours begin July 1 and run through August 29, with daily hours from
8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for weekends on all non-Dollar Day dates
