The Dallas Zoo will open early for families to explore without the noise, crowds, and sensory stimuli of a typical day. We limit the number of families who can attend, turn down the sounds, and provide sensory havens. Families will enjoy exploring nature through fun and inclusive sensory-friendly activities developed by your Dallas Zoo and our partners
