Target Zoofari Week

Okay, let's face it, Texas is a fiery abyss of heat. We spend most of our summers submerged in pools or praying for rain. Not counting this past week, rain isn't very likely, and unless you like looking like a wrinkled prune 24/7, you have to get out of the pool eventually! Sooo, what to do, what to do?

Get your butt to the Dallas Zoo! Now, unless you're in the mood for a heat stroke, I'd recommend going in the morning when it's cooler. Also, you should wear cool clothes, as in short sleeves and thinner materials so you can feel the breeze. I don't care if it's "dorky," wear sunscreen and a freaking hat! Looking like a boiled lobster is not sexy. Plus, they sell those awesome little fans that blast you with water so you don't keel over. Yay!

There's all kinds of attractions, as well as zillions of animals to go see. It's a fun place to take a date(bring extra cash though), or to go hang out with friends. It's summer time, have fun! Bring your cameras, there's all sorts of things to take pictures of, plus if I remember correctly, they have a petting zoo! It's fun! The zoo is also open everyday from 9-5, so you have plenty of time to browse.

Regular Prices:

• Adults(12-64): $10.00
• Children(3-11): $7.00
• Seniors(65+): $7.00
• free for kids under 2 & members of the Dallas Zoological Society

Extra Special Deals this week:

• From now through August 9th, thanks to Target, you can get in for half price! It's $5 for adults and only $3.50 for kids and seniors!
• There's also cheaper snacks in some parts of the zoo, but that part is while supplies last.

Parking:

• Parking is $5, but there's a cheaper way to go. Take the Dart Train! The Zoo is along the red line, but there is a midpoint where the blue and red line meet, so you can get there from just about anywhere.
• Here's the perk: you get an extra dollar off your admission if you show your dart ticket!

Regular deals:

• Every Monday and Tuesday, if you show your Dart pass, you get $3 off admission!

Go While you still can!
