We're re-doing the macaw enclosures near the front entrance to make them even nicer for the birds and for our guests to see them! Please pardon our mess.
The new naked mole rat exhibit in Natural Encounters is nearing completion!
Something new is coming to our Children's Zoo in place of the prairie dog exhibit. Stay tuned for details.
Join us on Memorial Day for a special scavenger hunt through all our cool air-conditioned locations with TXU Energy Presents Chill Out! Visit each of the scavenger hunt “cool zones” and get a free sno-cone! The scavenger hunt happens from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. – make sure to redeem your sno cone by 4:00 p.m.
On Saturday, Sunday and Monday May 25-27, join us at the chimpanzee exhibit in the African Forest this weekend for a very special Spotlight on Species, included in your Zoo admission.
Recycle your cell phone at the Zoo during this event and receive a special chimpanzee conservation bracelet.
You can visit our chimpanzee tool gallery, color a chimp mask, pose for a picture in our chimpanzee cutout, and more! Artwork created by our chimpanzees as well as other items will be for sale to raise money for chimpanzee conservation.
We’ll have two special Meet the Keeper Talks during this event – at 12:30 the chimps will receive special food items to fish for in their termite mound. At 2:30 we’ll have a chimp painting or training demonstration!
