The Dallas World Aquarium

The Dallas World Aquarium is such a magical place! Every turn offers something incredible to see, and the exhibits are beautifully done. From the lush rainforest at the entrance to the colorful marine life exhibits, every part of the experience is thoughtfully designed and breathtaking. The variety of animals you get to see — from sloths and birds to sharks and rays — is truly impressive. Everything is well-maintained, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It’s a great place to learn, explore, and just be amazed by the beauty of nature. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Dallas! It’s perfect for all ages, whether you’re bringing kids, going on a date, or just exploring on your own. Highly recommend spending a few hours here — you won’t want to leave!

I’m from San Diego and I think this place is better than our Zoo, also better than our aquarium! My reasoning: - land animals + fresh and saltwater aquariums - there is a path you go down and it’s really easy to navigate! - since you’re basically walking through a big jungle, the temp is consistent + you’re inside so NO SUNSCREEN IS NEEDED! - doesn’t take up the whole day - very ADA and stroller friendly :) There was a lot more diversity than I expected, and I was very impressed! My niece and nephew loved it and so did my parents + siblings :) there’s a little bit of everything!

Loved my experience coming to the aquarium. Originally came for the aquarium and loved that a zoo was included in it. We had a great time !!! We went during a weekday around 2:30 pm and it wasn’t that populated with people. It was a nice surprise that the price included the zoo and aquarium. 10/10 recommend especially since I came from the east coast (Maryland) to visit for my son spring break. Thanks Dallas aquarium well worth it.

This place is super cool! They have so many interesting animals and live plants. Mostly aquatic creatures and birds, but not all. Great place for photos. The layout is well set up so you can see the whole place, and it's easy to get in and out. The cafe on the bottom level has really nice food. I would recommend visiting on a low traffic day if possible, and bringing ear plugs if you are sensitive to loud noise. We visited on a Friday, and there were a lot of kids running around playing and shouting, so it can be chaotic.

We had so much fun in this Aquarium. Even though it was very crowded and we often had to walk behind a line of people, the aquarium was really great! There were so many beautiful animals, and the design was wonderful. It’s worth visiting with slightly older school-age children. The restrooms are relatively easy to reach, and there are occasional opportunities to get something to drink and eat along the way. We had to wait in line about 20 minutes to enter. It was ok. I saw on the weekends the crowds were much bigger.
