Storm Damage, Power Loss Closes Dallas Zoo on Labor Day

Zoo reopens on Tuesday, two days after storm downs limbs and cuts power

Damage from a thunderstorm Sunday forced the Dallas Zoo to remain closed on Labor Day, the park says.

Along with downed limbs and minor damage, the park confirmed they were without power Sunday.

"Due to a strong storm this afternoon, we sustained significant tree damage, have debris in the Zoo and have a zoo-wide power outage," Zoo officials said. "Thankfully, teams have confirmed habitats are intact, animals are safe and no guest or staff injuries have been reported."

After remaining closed Monday for cleanup, the zoo reopened to guests on Tuesday.
