I love the concept of this facility – though it’s more of an aficionado’s aquarium than a classic zoo aquarium. You start at tree level with the monkeys and birds, and slowly wind your way down to sea level. What a great way to explore the rainforest eco-system. My kids really liked seeing how animals lived in the different strata’s.... more

I was visiting a friend in Dallas and so I googled what to do there. This seems like a different thing to do and I've already done the zoo so I figured I'd go here. The first turn-off was the price to get in. Come on .. $ 19 ? That is a bit pricey for me unless it's a... more

We spent this afternoon (5/24/09) at the Dallas World Aquarium with our 18 month old daughter. Yes, it is expensive to get in, but we felt it was very worth it. There was plenty of parking available in the lot nearby but it did cost $5 for the day, which seemed pretty standard for the entire West End district. The... more

We have now visited The Dallas World Aquarium two different times and we would go another hundred times! It gets looked over easily. But, its a gem, once its found!! We just took our recent visit 4-24-09 and we took our two toddlers (ages 3 and 4)! They have been talking about it everday since!! We love the fact its... more

I have enjoyed 99% of the time I have spent in Texas. This is not an aquarium in the sense that I would label it. It is three small stories of things that you can walk through and see in about 20 minutes. It is more like a zoo than an aquarium. I would honestly just drive to San Antonio... more

The Dallas Aquarium-Rain Forest is like taking a vacation to Central America for a couple of hours - except that you really see the animals! My favorite animal is the sloth, but the jaguar and the river otters and the walk-through shark tank ... it's all wonderful. It's not cheap, but it's a first-class experience for kids and for adults.... more

I took my children there and loved the layout and how you "wander" down to the ground floor as you start at the top. Every employee that we encountered and/or spoke to was very nice and helpful. What we did not like was it was extremely CROWDED! The line to get in was wrapped around the corner. The problem with... more

During Spring Break 2009 DWA will have extended hours (9 AM - 6 PM) starting Saturday, March 14 - 21, 2009. They are hoping this will allow for more guests to have a chance to enjoy the wonderful scenery and take their time touring. Several renovations have been made to make the experience more people friendly. Such as, widening pathways... more

The Dallas World Aquarium is actually surprising. It is quite a good facility with excellent exhibits. We were particularly impressed that many of the animals out and about are within reach of the guests (and kids) which is really nice. It permits more close and personal interaction. You are not allowed to touch the animals, but the staff simply keeps... more
