Venture to exotic locales around the globe in our new Visions of the Wild area. Take a ride on the mini-train to take a trip through the African savanna or walk along the soothing greens of Mossy Manor to unwind after your big adventures.

BRAND NEW THIS YEAR is our 360-degree immersive video projection experience - you can swing by the Imagination Station before you enter to dress-up in explorer gear, and then head into the tent to be surrounded by amazing visuals of diverse biomes from around the world. You can catch a glimpse of endangered species, dive deep into the ocean, walk in the arctic, and trek deep into a rainforest - all without leaving the Dallas Zoo!

The Grove transforms into Santa's Holiday Storyland this year, with Santa quite literally sitting center-stage for photos every night!

You'll find photo op after interactive space across The Grove - gather your crew for a "sleigh the night away" photo, take a selfie in the Heart of Christmas ornament, pose with a penguin and its igloo, or step inside a snow globe for holiday-card worthy photo. Kids (or adults!) can jump on light-up pavers on the ground, or walk among a Christmas tree maze or along a candy cane lane.

You can pop into Prime Meridian Cafe from The Grove. Or enjoy fresh wood-fired pizza, gourmet holiday tamales and treats, or s'mores kits for the fire pits - we've got you covered so you can sit and stay for a while in this holiday wonderland.

Look for hands-on activities for the kids, or enjoy a virtual reality ride with the elves at our Wild Explorer VR experience on the edge of The Grove.

Commemorate your visit with a photo at our 30-foot-tall multi-colored tree - and be sure to tag @DallasZoo if you post on social!
