Great place for kids to experience rainforest, birds and animals. Visuals are great, info about species cud be more accessible. Food areas are scattered all over :( Avoid holidays, it gets crowded

Sharon Masuda

Yes, I agree, you need to walk through the aquarium slowly to really enjoy and see everything. If you go through it too fast you will miss a lot. If you go left just remember there is also a right.

Deimos

Friendly , knowledgeable staff whom will answer any of your questions, wonderful and immersive biomes, much more than what you'd find at your typical aquarium . The Dallas World Aquarium is top notch.

Kelly Snyder

There is so much to see here, from tiny frogs to penguins, a manatee and seahorses, owls and parrots and sloths. There are so many exhibits , be prepared to set aside a couple of hours.

Robin Mari

It's a great place, I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was amazing to be so close to the animals, you could see everything, it definitely is worth seeing!

Isaac Ellison

They have made this place better! A lot more animal exhibits to walk around and see. Took me around 2 hours to see the whole thing. I think the price is reasonable and kids will enjoy it.

Margo Pitts

More like an indoor zoo , which was just what we needed on a hot Texas summer day. All 3 generations of our family loved it.

Damon Sununtnasuk

So much more than an aquarium . Very impressive displays and some of the most exotic birds I've ever seen. Well worth a visit.

Kristen Johnson

They have such a great variety of animals . The flamingos were so gorgeous and I was in awe the whole trip. I would go again in a heartbeat. Next time I will try the restaurant !

Hannah Alkadi

If you didn’t know it was an aquarium , you’d think it’s a zoo ! Birds, crocodiles , snakes and frogs - and more! There’s a surprise at every corner and every floor!

Ron Jeramiah

Cool spot for some local, in town fun. Great aquatic exhibits and an overall neat place for the kiddos.

Dianey Sandoval

This aquarium is wonderful the animals are taken care of... and there is a lot to see make sure you have a map so you can navigate through everything

Kathy Hill

All of it! I specially liked the several levels of the big aquarium , to see the animals and fish in their favorite places.

Kelli Roberts

The aquarium is nice, but many of the enclosures are not labeled. There are a lot of birds and monkeys as well . The penguin exhibit is pretty small. The shark exhibit is pretty neat!

Ben Hilliard

One of the best aquariums I have ever been toooo! I love the jungle theme they have going on. Worth every dollar to get in!!

Robyn Harman

Kids and adults alike will love this aquarium . You feel like you're in a jungle the entire time. Look for the sloth just hanging out in an open tree near the snack stand. :)

Michael C

Excellent value... great herpetarium, insectarium, aviary, and aquarium . Beautifully put together.

Megan McQueen

Loved the aquarium . So many great exhibits , even a few that I haven't seen at most. They have many penguins too!!! Definitely recommend.

Flavia Freitas

One of the coolest aquariums ever! It's also a zoo ! Contemplates an enormous variety of animals . When in Dallas, a must see!

Dibyendu Ghosh

It has a great arrangement of aqua life and in a very presentable way too. A great place for visitors.

Zach Smith

There’s some sort of event/animal feeding going on every hour - grab a brochure and keep track of what events you can visit while you’re here.

Rahul Joshi

The Dallas World Aquarium at 8 minutes drive to the south of Dallas dentist Fitz Dental

Mark B

Very cool aquarium and jungle forest atrium. Has something for everyone.

Max

Lots of animals and fish , and beautiful exhibits , but there are lots of little kids

Rishme Sheriff

Great place for families. Does get very crowded and long queue on weekends.

Russell Hirschorn

Well curated aquarium with more than just sea animals. Go when school is in session to avoid stroller road blocks.

Stephanie R.

Loved it here! Neat how they set it up. Definitely not your traditional aquarium .

Michael Reese

It was really great, defiantly a must do. I would suggest getting there early.

Steve Young

It's way more a rainforest bird exhibit than an aquarium . Shedd in Chicago and the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta are way more impressive.

The Ritz-Carlton

With thousands of natural attractions where do you start at Dallas World Aquarium? The 400,000-galloon tank of Mundo Maya. It’s packed with sharks… watching you watching them.

Erika Rodriguez

It was an amazing experience! The place is wonderful with lots fish and the rainforest is completely out of this world!

Abdij Bhat

Don't rush on this one. Parking - Pay and Put the receipt on the dashboard! Look at the Guidebook given at the ticket counter and plan your visit. Every corner has something.

Ryan DeGuzman

It's not so much an aquarium than it is an indoor zoo . If you set your expectations as such, it's a good place to spend 2 - 3 hours.

Lovely G.

Absolutely love this place. The variety of animals is vast. Great for all ages and occasions.

Abdij Bhat

Depending on what excites you go slowly from one ecosystem to another. I loved the Sharks, Penguins, and aquatic beings from various countries .

Eric Triplett

Start at the top floor and walk down. Lots of specimens cleverly arranged in a small footprint. More fun than the zoo .

Roberto Del Castillo

The sharks are the most incredible thing that you can see in this place ????

George Carter

On Very Hot days, get there early and be prepared to wait in line outside. Bring water.

Maggie Brown

I love how beautiful the aquarium is and how close you can get to the sloth.

Charles E.

Sitting in the shark tank is definitely the best part if this place. And that you can walk around with a drink in your hand!

Abdij Bhat

If you have kids, walk carefully and keep an eye on them. There are gaps in certain places and the young ones can really get themselves into trouble

Hannah N

Everything is amazing! It's like a zoo and an aquarium . So many cool exhibits !

Social News Network

Very nice Aquarium and worth the visit! You have to check out the Shark exhibit it wraps around to the roof!

Elizabeth

Best aquarium I have ever been too! Coolest concept, not your run of the mill aquarium . A def must see!

Stephanie Nunez

I like it a lot for my son but its kinda expensive and when I went 3 years didn't have that much. But other then it's a really nice aquarium n want to go again

Justin Lisenby

Very fun trip! So much more than just an aquarium , it's an adventure.

Ju Le

Really nice aquarium but a bit pricey ????

Jason Kyle

If you come with little ones, DO NOT warn them about the birds possibly pooping on their heads. It doesn't end well until you get to the Manatees. But then, yay Sea Cows!

Kaminsky Evans

It looks small on the outside but it is an awesome aquarium . I loved it.

Jeanette Pruett

Come early less crowding and able to see more. And yes the animals are active in the morning.
