They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes wonders of the underwater world at The Dallas World Aquarium. Located in Dallas’ historic district, the aquarium and zoo complex features eight themed exhibits dedicated to education and the preservation of endangered animals and sea creatures. Wander through the tropical rainforest exhibit for a chance to see exotic birds, Orinoco crocodiles, and three-toed sloths, or get up close to dozens of sharks, rays, and sawfish at the Mundo Maya exhibit. Check the aquarium’s website for the daily schedule to attend a feeding with your favorite animal. Make The Dallas World Aquarium a centerpiece of your Dallas vacation itinerary, and find what else is worth visiting using our Dallas trip website.

  I absolutely love this place! There are so many different animals and the employees here are great too. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but once you get in the experience is unforgettable. The exhibits seem to be well maintained. I definitely recommend if you are looking for something to do during free time.
