It's that time of year again-- summertime means the return of the $1 admission at the Dallas Zoo.
The zoo’s wildly popular Dollar Days dates have been announced.
Each year, the zoo drops its admission price to only $1 for anyone ages 3 and older (admission is always free for ages 2 and under).
Dollar Days, presented by Whataburger, will also feature deals on snacks and drinks at pop-up shops throughout the zoo.

When are the 2024 Dollar Days at the Dallas Zoo?
- Dates: July 18 and August 8.
- Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Tickets: Guests must purchase tickets online
- Parking: $12 parking will be limited so the zoo recommends that you hop aboard the DART Red Line, which stops right at the zoo’s entrance.
Every year, these discount days are HOT, so guests should dress accordingly, load up on sunscreen and be sure to stay hydrated.
