    What makes it fun

    Drift into a world of wonder together at the Dallas World Aquarium. It’s not just fish you'll find at the Dallas World Aquarium. There's also the rainforest canopy, monkeys, manatees, sloths, sharks, penguins, and even a 40-foot underwater tunnel filled with gliding sea life. Stroll hand-in-hand through various habitats like the misty rainforest (where birds soar overhead and sloths lounge) and the underwater tunnel (where rays and fish swim overhead).

    This was a wonderful experience. Best aquarium i have been too. Lots to see. The flow in traffic in there did get jammed a bit, I cant imagine it being easier on a busier day. Was a good experience though.

    Great place! I recommend visiting. It was worth the price and drive. Large variety of fish and birds. From the start of arrival before entering the building there were bird displays. The rain forest like entrance and throughout the exhibit was fantastic!

    Unique and full of surprises. It is not the biggest aquarium you will ever see. But what you will see is amazing. They pack more awesomeness into every square foot. It feels immersive but safe. You have the different climates and geographic homes for the critters that are so well thought up and they flow from habitat to habitat well. The penguins are worth the price of admission alone. I felt like I saw it all, but if I go back I will see something new in every enclosure.

    The aquarium is wonderful. Interesting varieties of amazing fish, corals, birds. The shark tank is a fun place for kids and adults seeing shark swim over your head and all around you is mesmerizing and there’s a huge sword fish too. The only thing is the aquarium needs some tender loving care the bathrooms are old and not clean. The whole place needs a face lift, it’s a little dirty and stinky around the edges. The walkway outside between the front entrance and exit is pretty but when you walk through it there’s an overwhelming smell of urine. The whole outside can use a good power wash. I went several years ago when it looked newer and smelled better. The management needs to do a better job with the place. But it’s still worth visiting there are also gorgeous tropical plants.

    An absolutely FUN place to take the family or a date. I am so glad I took my friend and her daughter we had a marvelous time there. There's so much to see and do and it's set up to where everything flows effortlessly from the time you enter until the time you leave. They had plenty of concessions inside and really nice restaurants. The place is immaculately clean and allows you to be totally interactive with several of the animals. In some areas it needs a little TLC but it's just normal wear and tear; it's just a little off-putting visually.

    All and all it was a great experience and it's DEFINITELY up there with The Atlanta Aquarium! Wow!
