Experience Nature's Adventure at The Dallas World Aquarium

Story

The adventure at The Dallas World Aquarium begins at the top of the rainforest exhibit, where exotic birds, such as Cocks-of-the-rock and many species of toucans, can be seen. Lounging around are Two-toed and Three-toed sloths. Endangered animals, such as Orinoco crocodiles, Giant river otters, Antillean manatees and several species of monkeys are part of the many conservation projects. The aquarium portion displays interesting marine life, including Japanese crabs, jellyfish, Leafy, Weedy and Ribbon seadragons. Black-footed and Blue penguins can be seen swimming as guests enjoy the outdoor South Africa exhibit. Sharks, rays and sawfish are only a few of the fish living in the Mundo Maya cenote. Safe from Neotropical eagles, are euphonias, tanagers and hummingbirds. Reptiles and amphibians, both of significance to the Maya culture, can be seen throughout the exhibit.

The Continental Shelf exhibit is closed for refurbishing, opening in late September. Exact date to be announced as installation progresses.

Visited here from our if town at a friends suggestion. We had a great time, the way it is set up you start at the top of the ecosystem in the trees and circle down to the bottom of the water. Although it is advertised as an aquarium it has so much more to see, birds, monkeys and my favorite was the sloths. They have a 3 toward sloth that is out in the open where you can see it without glass. We also ate at the restaurant at the 3rd floor right off the elevator and it was wonderful, low prices, great service. The taco salad was great.

I'm not really one for animals in captivity for human entertainment. That being said, this place is set up well and the animals have space. I did feel horribly for the river otters....they were barking and displaying territorial behaviors and were highly stressed. The black panther appeared to have very little space for an animal this size, you could see his pace patterns. I'm hoping he has a bigger enclosure I couldn't see. I felt the sloths may have needed a little more space or hiding areas. They appeared stressed too. I felt similarly, I do not enjoy huge presses of humans either. Other than these things, this was a fascinating place. The restaurants had reasonable pricing and the gift shop as well. I ended up getting an awesome passenger sticker in the shape of a sloth peering out of the car window. Entertaining. My favorite creatures were the shoe bill stork, manatee, anaconda and the saw fish. Here are a bunch of pictures that will say a lot more.

I don't even know where to begin with this place. It's amazing and has so much to see. It's huge, full of animals of all sorts. It isn't just water animals either. This place can be very crowded and busy, as it's popular with travelers and locals, but it's really always a treat to see the animals here as well as the layout. The staff here do a really great job of taking care of the place. I would recommend going during a time when it isn't busy. I made the mistake of going in the summer, when it was VERY busy, but still had a great time. Would definitely go here again on a visit to Dallas.

So much fun. I'm a member and go several times a year. The manatee is so cute and has a big log as a toy. If you come early you can see the three toed sloth getting fed before climbing up to nap. Sometimes the two toed sloth couple bicker. Good mix of animals and fish. New experiences each time I go. :)

This is my favorite aquarium in Texas. Absolutely amazing. I have been visiting several times a year for a decade. They always have new exhibits. The staff is knowledgeable. The animals are well cared for. It is handicap and stroller accessible. A wonderful place to visit for everyone of every age.
