Guests may start seeing tigers back on habitat as maintenance wraps up. They may move on and off the habitat during this time. Maned wolves are off-habitat.
McDonald's Day at the Zoo
Sponsored by McDonald's of North Texas
In celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week, McDonald’s of North Texas is giving teachers, school administrators, and school staff a McWell-deserved treat with $5 off admission to the Dallas Zoo!
Visitors can also “make it McMemorable” by swinging by the McDonald’s activation booth near The Grove in ZooNorth, featuring an interactive photo bus for picture-perfect moments, wildly cool swag, and a chance to meet everyone’s favorite purple icon, Grimace!
