| Rank and result | Military percentage | Base / limits | Claim route | Offer-valid date | Opened-body note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Dallas Zoo Tickets | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Readable official ticket page. Its Military Discount section states $2 off per General Admission for up to two adults and two children with valid military ID; show ID at the ticket booth. It says the offer cannot be combined with other admission discounts, is valid only at the gate, and is unavailable July 1-September 3 (year not specified). |
| 2. Dallas Zoo Military Discount - Military.com | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown after two direct Chrome opens; both returned ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Search-result text is not used. |
| 3. General Information - Dallas Zoo | No | No | Yes | No | Readable official FAQ page. Its expanded military/teacher/senior/low-income answer says discount days and programs are listed on the Buy Tickets page and that a discount not listed there is not currently offered. It does not repeat the military amount, limits, route details, or offer dates. |
| 4. $2 Off Dallas Zoo Military & Veteran Discounts - WorthEPenny | Yes | No | Yes | No | Readable third-party page after a second open; the first displayed a Cloudflare 403 challenge. It repeats a $2 claim and also says 'up to 10%-25%' for military members and families, without an official rate base or specific limit. Its online, app and participating-retail routes conflict with the Zoo's military-specific gate-only text; none is substituted for the official instructions. |
| 5. Discount Zoo Tickets for Military & Government - GOVX | No | No | No | No | Readable generic GOVX zoos-and-aquariums category page. The opened page body did not show a Dallas Zoo-specific listing or Dallas-specific ticket terms. It is not treated as evidence that Dallas Zoo has no offer. |
| 6. Membership FAQ - Dallas Zoo | No | No | No | No | Readable official Membership FAQ. It describes member and reciprocal-zoo admission benefits but does not state a military discount. Those membership terms are not transferred into the military row. |
| 7. Dallas Zoo Discounts - Military.com | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown after two direct Chrome opens; both returned ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Search-result text is not used. |
| 8. Dallas Zoo | Zoo in Dallas, Texas | No | No | No | No | Readable official homepage. It lists current events, membership and visit information, but no military-offer rate, eligibility, claim route or dates in the opened body. |
| 9. VETERANS DAY SPECIAL - Dallas Zoo - Facebook | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown after two opens; Facebook redirected to a login page without the post body. The historical event text is not inferred from the title or snippet. |
| 10. How does the Dallas zoo compare to the Fort Worth zoo? | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown after two opens; Reddit returned HTTP 403/network-security block. The result title is not used as body evidence, and no information about another zoo is transferred. |
Among six readable, target-relevant result bodies, 1/6 states a military percentage, 1/6 states the official military ticket base or limit, 3/6 provide a military-related route, and 1/6 states an offer restriction date. The one percentage is the unverified WorthEPenny claim; the official ticket page gives a flat $2 amount. Its July 1-September 3 unavailable window has no year. Counts are limited to this sample; blocked rows are not counted as No, and no Zoo-wide denial is inferred.
