Although the aquarium is itself a great attraction, the big draw here is the rainforest. The Dallas World Aquarium is a multi-level facility that makes you feel like you are actually walking through a rainforest. The atmosphere is terrific and the animal enclosures are easy to view because most of the rainforest animals are not in glass enclosures, but are... more

We have lived in Dallas for a little over 10 years. For some reason, we had never visited the Dallas World Aquarium. It is quite expensive, and I can never find coupons. However, it is well worth the visit! We took my mom and two boys. It was a little difficult to get the stroller around in some of the... more

The Dallas World Aquarium is tucked away in a couple of old, converted warehouses in the West End of the city. Opened in the late 1990s, a lot of locals don't really even know it's there. Yet the quality and quantity of what you'll see packed into this seemingly tiny place is amazing! In addition to the standard aquatic exhibits... more

We took the tram line from the Sheraton to West End Station as it was very hot outside, but could have walked as well. The zoo/aquarium/aviary is open and airy and you descend... more

This aquarium was within walking distance of our downtown hotel,and it was worth the price of admission. There were so many beautiful species of fish I never knew existed. Of course the traditional sharks and crocodiles were a big hit, but I was very impressed with the imported fish from all over the world. It was educational as well as... more

I went with two friends of mine as part of a day trip to Dallas. I love the layout and path of this aquarium, the one way walk along is terrific. It is wonderfully built and designed and I love the entrance alone. I have to say that they have way more than just fish to offer. There are birds,... more

I just returned from a trip to the DWA with my two nephews, ages 8 and 10. I had been to the aquarium in the past when it was much smaller and I was completely blown away by the new experience. First, this entire aquarium/zoo does its best to avoid traditional cages. Many animals are free-roaming or nearly so. If... more
