TurnStyle® delivers timed entry, touchless ticketing and other social-distancing solutions

The Dallas Zoo is among the first cultural institutions in the U.S. to reopen, and as it does, it is relying on ticketing technology that helps organizations plan safer outings for visitors.

The largest zoo in Texas is reopening at a limited capacity on Tuesday with Member Preview Days that sold out within a matter of hours. It will open its gates to the public May 29; those tickets go on sale Tuesday.

When sales begin, the zoo will offer the public timed entry, touchless ticketing and other features to help address their health concerns, thanks to TurnStyle®. Thousands of members already have reserved their timed admission for Member Preview Days Tuesday-Thursday.

About Dallas Zoo

The Dallas Zoo is dedicated to creating a better world for animals. By providing guests with real-world opportunities to make memorable connections with wildlife, the zoo aims to inspire and empower visitors to take action on behalf of wildlife around the world.

Located three miles south of downtown Dallas, the zoo features a 106-acre park with thousands of animals, making it the largest zoological experience in Texas.

Named one of the nation’s Top 10 Zoos by USA Today and continuously accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums since 1985, this City of Dallas-owned but privately managed zoo is a thriving example of a successful public-private partnership.
