    The Dallas Zoo offers a range of immersive experiences that allow visitors to engage with over 2,000 animals. Guests can partake in Keeper Chats to learn fascinating details about the zoo's inhabitants directly from the zoologists. Additionally, the Giraffe Feeding platform at Diane and Hal Brierley Giraffe Ridge presents a unique opportunity for up-close interaction with giraffes, although availability is subject to animal and weather conditions.

    For bird enthusiasts, Travis & Zach's Birds Landing provides an interactive aviary experience with nearly two dozen species. The Wild Encounters Stage showcases a variety of animals in an engaging setting. Seasonal programming includes the Wonders of the Wild show in ZooNorth Amphitheater, featuring incredible animal talents. Further, the Gorilla Trek VR experience transports visitors to Rwanda to observe mountain gorillas. Adding to the enjoyment are the Conservation Railway Mini-Train and the Endangered Species Carousel, offering fun rides around the zoo.
