Wild Earth Expeditions
Explore the wonders of the natural world.
Your Dallas Zoo’s Wild Earth Action Team is setting off on expeditions to explore the wonders of the natural world, all while supporting local communities, and learning how we can protect a Wild Earth. Join us as we hike mountains to visit Monarch butterflies in Mexico, take a boat ride to witness Whooping cranes on the Texas coast, and so much more.
What to expect:
Whether we’re in the United States, Mexico, or somewhere else in the world, we’ll mindfully and responsibly travel to natural areas by minimizing our impact and supporting local communities.
Monarchs of Mexico
One of the most amazing phenomena in nature is the annual migration of millions of Monarch butterflies southward from their breeding grounds in the United States and Canada to overwintering sites high in the mountains of southern Mexico.
The Wilds of Africa side of the Zoo will be closed on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 while we’re preparing for our annual Zoo To Do fundraising gala. All guests on those days can enjoy $13 admission to the Zoo.
