The Dallas Zoo is still requiring time-specific reservations via their website even if you have a Dallas Zoo membership. If you have a reciprocal membership from another zoo, you will need to reach out to the staff to see how to make your reservations as there is no obvious method on their website. Phone number 469.554.7501 or email Info@DallasZoo.com. Be sure to add your parking.
One thing I noticed about this visit was the number of guests was a lot higher than last time; perhaps because it was a warm sunny day. We arrived at opening time 9am and when we left at 11am, the parking lot was already full and staff was directing cars to park on the grassy portion of the hillside.
You are still required to wear a mask (and I highly suggest you keep it on during your entire visit).
The gift shop now allows (a limited number) guests inside although there are several kiosks on the outside (and near the exit).
The carousel and the giraffe feedings were now open ($5 per person). The monorail train that goes around the zoo is closed with no plans to reopen any time soon.
The Herpetarium (Repitle House) was open to guests and a very helpful guide was inside answering questions. Social distancing or other safety measures were not practiced inside this building.
The Cheetah Encounter in ZooNorth has been changed to "Animals in Action" which features other animals and a keeper. Cheetahs have been moved to a nearby enclosure. Other animal presentations can be seen at the Wild Encounters Stage near the monorail area.
The Serengeti Grill offers outdoor seating and the lion viewing areas during our visit were closed off to guests. Kona Ice truck is only available during the week (Monday through Friday). Sweet Treats and Dippin' Dots snack booths are open Saturdays and Sundays.
The newborn lion cubs weren't out for visiting yet. Hopefully next time we go!
