They've certainly put in more effort than the last time I was there. Before they had a sign that looked like it was printed out on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. They still didn't get it right. And they're still owned by the City of Dallas.Texas Size 11 wrote:I went to the zoo today and saw this for the first time by the member services kiosk when entering (give me a minute to figure out how to get the photo to work).
Obviously non-compliant.
Also noted it says the following on the website:
"The Dallas Zoo is owned by the City of Dallas and managed by Dallas Zoo Management, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization"
I don't see how they can even restrict carry even if the sign was compliant.

Re: Dallas Zoo
And don't forget that within the last couple of years there's been a fatal incident at the Dallas Zoo between an escaped gorilla and Zoo visitors. Not just the people you have to worry about...

Re: Dallas Zoo
I've been there within the last year and at the time there was a too small, non-compliant, 30.06 sign in the window of the membership booth.i8godzilla wrote: Did you go? Was there a sign at the entrance? Reason I ask is that we are spending the weekend with my daughter's family in Plano and want to take the grandchildren there Saturday?
However, even though the City of Dallas has outsourced the management of the Dallas Zoo, they still own the property, so 30.06 should be unenforceable even if it was a compliant sign.

If correct, that would be a good thing, IMHO.
I'd be pleased to be mistaken about my earlier post.

Re: Dallas Zoo
I think the general opinion on that is that if you're not there with the school group, the fact that a school group might be there at the same time you are doesn't make it off limits. At least that's what I seem to recall Charles as having said about it in the past.RoyGBiv wrote:Good luck finding a day when there is not an organized school field trip to the Zoo.PC §46.03.
