El Acuario Mundial de Dallas

Experiencia positiva: Very cool but WAY to crowded. It was so clustered we couldn’t even walk comfortably, people were getting into fights etc. it was not enjoyable due to the amount of people.

Experiencia fantástica: Okay wow, this is maybe one of the coolest aquariums I’ve ever been to - and definitely the coolest experience I had in Dallas!! It’s like a jungle inside with bridges and canopies. They have SO MANY cool birds, birds I’ve never seen or heard of. They also have animals throughout which was a fun surprise since I was expecting it to just be an aquarium. If I ever go back to Dallas and I am absolutely coming back, maybe I’ll even bring a book and find a place to hang out and ready because it really is just SO COOL!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: "Dallas Aquarium: A Fin-tastic Family Adventure! Last weekend, I took my family to the Dallas Aquarium, and we had an absolute blast! The moment we stepped inside, we were mesmerized by the stunning displays of marine life. The aquarium is home to thousands of aquatic animals, including majestic stingrays, curious sea otters, and colorful fish of all kinds. The highlight of our visit was the shark tunnel, where we got to walk through an underwater tunnel surrounded by these magnificent creatures. My kids were thrilled to see the feeding demonstration, and we all enjoyed the interactive exhibits. The aquarium's layout is well-designed, making it easy to navigate and explore. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, answering our questions and sharing interesting facts about the marine life. Overall, the Dallas Aquarium is a must-visit destination for families. It's an educational and entertaining experience that's sure to delight both kids and adults. We can't wait to come back and explore more! Rating: 5/5 stars Recommendation: Don't miss the shark tunnel and feeding demonstrations! "

Experiencia fantástica: What a great little (not so little) place! Had no idea what to expect but it was lovely. Definitely the best aquarium I've been to yet. It was incredibly busy the day we went and we still had a nice experience. I bet days where its less busy it is even more enjoyable.

Experiencia positiva: BEWARE OF PARKING. PARKING SEEMS LIKE A SCAM. It was nice. Many areas can be tight when it’s crowded. Saw so many different animals and plants. Made for a great day. Unfortunately The man in the Aquarium uniform trying to scam us in the parking lot after really ruined the day. Idk if he is an official Aquarium employee but he was unprofessional, unhelpful, and straight up lying. I’d imagine an unaware tourist would be scared and give in to his demands (saying we got a VIOLATION!) but we challenged him for proof and he immediately backed off and went to the next unsuspecting family. The Aquarium needs to do something about this. If he has a scammer, they should have security out there. If he’s an employee then they need to speak with him about how he’s doing his job.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s great! It’s more like a zoo with ton of different animals.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an amazing day viewing all of the animals! My 6 year old granddaughter truly enjoyed herself and my 11 month old grandson was in awe! The restaurants were also reasonably priced and family oriented. Our family reunion was in Texas and this is the place we chose to go as a family. The best decision we could make! Be sure to wear your walking shoes!

Experiencia negativa: The map has 5 pages, incredibly confusing as to where you are on the map at any point of time. The layout was drastically poorly planned for crowd control. It was incredibly hard to find employees to ask questions throughout the aquarium. Very few exhibits for Mark as to what the animals are that we were looking at. No signs to indicate directional flow of traffic, you just had to shuffle along behind a crowd and hope you were going in the right direction. When a medical difficulty was encountered it was near impossible to get through the crowd and find an exit to leave. If you have any form of panic attacks or anxiety this would not be the aquarium for you. Overall it was a very beautiful aquarium. My recommendation would be to go on a weekday when they open and not on a Saturday at all cost.

Experiencia negativa: The worse experience. Lines are long, once inside you’re pretty much walking in a single file line. We spent $150 for a family of 5 and looked for the exit asap once we realized this was how the entire the experience would be. Money grab, fire and safety hazard. No way could the place have that many people at one time and in those tight quarters. Don’t waste your money.

Experiencia fantástica: Our group enjoyed the tropical atmosphere, air conditioned interior and most of all the beautiful animals. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Perfect outing for the whole family — tons to see, touch, and experience. We got lucky and arrived early, beating the crowds (pro tip: morning visits = stress-free parking and minimal herding). ✨ The layout is super immersive — it doesn’t just show you art and exhibits, it makes you feel like you’re exploring them. Lots of interactive displays that even kept the kids entertained (and let’s be honest… us adults too). Highly recommend if you're looking for something fun, educational, and just plain cool to do in DFW!

Experiencia positiva: Beautiful place !! No wait times, and wasn’t too crowded :) But not at all a fan of how the animals are kept, their enclosures aren’t great for them :/

Experiencia fantástica: It's all indoors and each floor is a new exciting experience. Everywhere you look there is something new to discover as you make your way through each exhibit.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great place. We were done in about 70 minutes that’s with going to the gift store. Our favorite was the manatee. We got there at 8:30. The manatee was eating and we got some great photos of seeing it up close. The otters were not out, the sloth you could barely see but everything else was pretty good. We really wanted to stay looking as you go up the entry way but you have a bunch of people following you to go get tickets so that was hard. We got confused as there was a lack of signage but not enough to stop us from enjoying the animal’s. I will say it’s one of the more expensive places we have been, over 100 for 2 adults, a 7 year old and parking. We did enjoy it though and the manatee is worth seeing.

Experiencia positiva: More like Dallas jungle and tanks but still really nice. I'm probably biased because I've been to the aquarium in Atlanta. This one was really unique though and very enjoyable!

Experiencia negativa: After seeing this place come up commonly on lists as a good aquarium, I felt I needed to write a review of how pitiful this place is. If you don't feel like reading the full review, here is the bottom line: if you have been to a real aquarium (Atlanta, Monterey, Chicago, Long Beach) you will be very disappointed. First, I wouldn't call it an aquarium, more a menagerie of random animals. For the size of the place, there are a very disappointing number of tanks with fish or other "normal" aquarium animals in them. I would say that more of the enclosures have birds or mammals in them. Also, the state of the enclosures and care of the animals is atrocious. Many of the enclosures are not nearly big enough for the animals that they contain. For example, the large river otters have barely anywhere to move around. The poor ocelot is in a big, glass box with no where to hide and spent its time pacing around, clearly showing signs of stress. We pointed out to one of the staff members that there were rats running around between enclosures and their response was "ya, that happens because of all the food we have out for the animals". It was pretty nasty to see how many rats there were and the lack of care that there was a problem. In the one area where they had a few actually aquariums, the walls were losing their paint and plaster. Lastly, their shark tunnel, which only had maybe 2-3 sharks and 2 sawfish, was fully open to the sky, which made it nearly impossible to see any thing. It also was basically just a big, empty tank. Shark tunnels at other aquariums I've been to have had coral and actual environmental components rather than just bare walls. Overall, I'm honestly surprised this place is still in business with the sad state that both the animals and the enclosures are in. If you have been to a real aquarium (Atlanta, Monterey, Chicago, Long Beach) you will be very disappointed.

Experiencia fantástica: The location was definitely different than what I'm used to for an Aquarium but it's the coolest one I've been to. Worth going!

Experiencia negativa: First I’ll say that I am surprised and disappointed that they have such a rating. The health of the animals was appalling. When first walking in you’ll see fish kept in “tanks” barely bigger than themselves. Nearly every animal’s/fish’s enclosure was far too small or over crowded. The animals themselves looked depressed. Various animals had both fresh and old injures. There were fish with some or whole missing fins. The axolotls’ frills were short and damaged. The shark’s nose was raw and bleeding. I kind of just felt sad being there. Aside from that half of the enclosure panels did not work so you didn’t even know what you were looking at. To me it felt like a cash grab at the expense of the animals, which is disappointing because it could be a really fun activity to stay away from the Texas heat.

Experiencia fantástica: It was a great family experience. Our 6 month old definitely had a lot to distract her and kept her entertained with all the visuals and sounds of the animals. It was a bit small from what I was expecting, but plenty to see if you take your time and not rush through the exhibits.

Experiencia positiva: Our family of 8 visited the place last week on weekends. It took us about 75 minutes with two toddlers. I would say its “not” a lot there from what you expect in a aquarium. You can see birds, reptiles, etc aquarium portion is too small. My toddler was expecting to see and “touch” the animals usually in aquarium they have facility for such.. it wasn’t a great experience for him. We just walked through the whole place. Very less for kids to interact with , mostly that would be the fun part for them. He wanting to see more aquarium fish varieties he was upset seeing only a shark and shark with saw.. given the price we paid >270$,,, i would expect more to come back, otherwise it feels very less experice. Recommend time visit for sure… 2nd/3rd times like us not too much to see.

Experiencia fantástica: Very cool experience. Start on the top floor and leisurely stroll down. Very easy to navigate without a map. So many beautiful animals. Give yourself 2 hours to see and enjoy everything. Noticed there are places to eat inside but didn't try ourselves.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place to visit especially during the Hot days of a Texas summer. Lunch at 1801 Restaurant was wonderful and very reasonable.

Experiencia positiva: Pretty cool exhibit, though a lot of the animals looked a little cramped, and the layout was very hard to navigate

Experiencia fantástica: We’ve been to the Dallas World Aquarium twice now, and it is wonderful! Lots of animals and sea life to see, and some to interact with! My favorite is the Manatee! They have a gift shop, and a cafe, plus concession stands in a couple of places where you can get ice cold drinks on a hot day! 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: A gem in the middle of Dallas downtown. Not the best Aquarium I have visited but the layout and design make this a really cool little place. Little pricey for what it is but still worth seeing once.

Experiencia fantástica: Our visit to the Dallas World Aquarium was a delightful journey through diverse ecosystems, all inside a captivating converted warehouse. It truly feels like both an aquarium and a zoo, offering something for all ages. From the moment we walked through the lush Orinoco Rainforest, complete with free-flying toucans, colorful macaws, and playful monkeys, we were transported into another world. The Cloud Forest Trek, featuring a seamless day-to-night LED canopy, added an extra layer of immersion and wonder. Down below, the Shark Tunnel was a highlight—gliding beneath giant sharks, stingrays, and sawfish in a 400,000-gallon tank that brings marine life astonishingly close. The variety of creatures amazed us—sloths, manatees, jaguars, otters, and black-footed penguins made for a rich and varied experience. The feeding sessions and informative talks (penguins, otters, sharks, and more) added depth to the visit—educational and engaging for everyone. Despite occasional crowding, the Dallas World Aquarium offers a memorable escape into nature and wildlife. We’ll definitely be back—next time, likely on a quieter weekday to savor the full experience.

Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium is one of my favorite places to take my kids! We don't live anywhere near the DFW area but every time we come through we always stop by. The staff is friendly, the facilities are always as clean as they can be. The kids always have a blast and even as they've gotten older they still enjoy coming.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely beautiful and the staff was more than helpful. They didnt say a word about my chiwawa i was dog sitting being in my purse the whole visit which i was completely grateful for. Highly recommend it for family fun.

Experiencia negativa: There was no room to walk around in there because of all the people. There is no signage anywhere. There are no descriptions about what is in the tanks. We would not recommend this experience to anyone! Do not bring your kids on the weekend. I’ve never posted a google review. That’s how bad this aquarium is!

Experiencia positiva: Although it was busy, how the aquarium was designed helped foot traffic flow nicely. Lots of things to look at, and we enjoyed how you started upstairs in the canopy and made your way down to the lower water levels. Animals and other aquatic life appeared healthy. Fair price for the amount of work and maintenance required. Kids and I loved it. We bought tickets in advance, but we still had to wait in the short line to get to the ticket window, then it was fast. Had two food options and a few gift/books shops.

Experiencia positiva: I was disappointed I thought it was going to be a huge place but it was so crowded and couldn't really enjoy walking around or really do anything. A bit pricey for the experience

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed my experience here!! They had so many variety of animals. My favorite was the manatee Everything was beautiful and so much fun!! Definitely worth checking out and enjoying with family!! 10/10

Experiencia negativa: I did not enjoy this experience. One of my favorite things about aquariums is that there are no birds. This was not the case at this attraction. It was more of a zoo than an aquarium. It was very hot and muggy, which made the experience less comfortable. I loved the parts with the fish. However, that was only about 1/3 of the attraction.

Experiencia positiva: My sister was visiting from Germany, so I thought this would be great with the weather being much warmer than she is used to. We enjoyed it. However, keep getting turned around. We wanted to make sure we saw everything. If it flowed better or gave you just 1 starting poin, I think it would be easier to get around without backtracking. Otherwise, my sister had a wonderful experience

Experiencia fantástica: Surprising venue in the middle of down town Dallas the walk to the ticket stand is like walking through the jungle to get there lots of fun exotic animals to see has a fun tree house kinda path to walk thoroughly enjoyed myself

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I loved this place . I really like that the temperature is just right . All the stuff are really helpful and so many animals to look . Definitely coming back

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I had an Absolutely fantastic time. Definitely a place you'll see something new each time you go.

Experiencia fantástica: More like an adventure in the jungle, so cool!! Definitely worth it!

Experiencia fantástica: Very fun and exciting to see. More than just an aquarium. They have reptiles, birds, and much more.

Experiencia fantástica: A must must visit place in Dallas. My mom & I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We saw a lot of birds, sharks, reptiles, frogs and was a very relaxed atmosphere! Very kid friendly place with good facilities

Experiencia fantástica: So fun! We took our 18mo and 4yo and they both had a blast!! We weren’t there for too too long, felt like just the right size and I’m sure we didn’t see everything! Will be back!

Experiencia positiva: I love coming here! There is a wide variety of animals and many things to see! Restrooms are clean and staff is welcoming. Definitely Worth the visit and fun for all ages

Experiencia positiva: It was fun. I’m just a country bumpkin and I don’t like crowds but we were there with our kids and it was very very crowded. The place was actually so crowded it took away from being able to actually enjoy that we were there. I would still recommend going though. Just keep your babies close! The manatee was fun to watch.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful and huge, so you definitely need two to three hours if not longer just to see everything. Definitely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: The parking on the side of the building and on streets is much cheaper. This is one of our very favorite places. It is just so good every time! Both kids and adults are wowed. Feeding times are super fun. Such an incredible variety of animals and fish. Beautiful pathways, bridges, tunnels, and waterfall. You can eat here and the gift shop is very nice. Like a vacation right in the middle of the city!

Experiencia fantástica: Was awesome long line went fast babies loved it they sell snack in-between walks can take breaks only problem was a lot of people waiting on elevator I have cancer so has to walk down stairs not a problem got a little tired not there fault but overall was fun will be back again

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic architecture. An absolute marvel. Well planned, well thought out and well executed. The animals were well taken care of by zoology students from colleges nearby. It's a go at your own pace and linger as you wish while walking through and viewing. The plant life is amazing and extremely healthy throughout the entire complex. This is one place you should not miss seeing.

Experiencia positiva: This atmosphere is incredible! I definitely felt like it was a zoo/aquarium because more then half of the place felt like tropical creatures and it so much fish/underwater aquarium. Tons of birds! You feel like you are walking through a jungle. I definitely wanted to see more underwater creatures. But it was till pretty cool. $10 to park to prepare to pay for parking and tickets. They also have lots of food inside but we didn’t get anything

Experiencia fantástica: We went with three adults and two babies under 2! The baby thought the aquariums were great and the toddler loved all the waterfalls and splashing water. The adults were impressed by the utilization of space. From the outside this isn't a huge building but every inch of the building has something to look at. We took two hours to wander through. We could have spent more time watching the exhibits or if we hadn't stopped whenever the kids had interest we could have seen it all in an hour. We will definitely go back in the future!

Experiencia negativa: Very crowded. It is more of an aviary than an aquarium. The animals are cared for, but the facility itself needs attention. Some of the exhibits are spacious for the animals, but others are too small. The staff doesn't seem to care. Minimal guest service. If you have been to the aquarium in the mall of America, you will be very disappointed. For all the hype, a will not be back.

Experiencia fantástica: The place was amazing. Lots of animals to watch. Since it is indoor, you can watch everything without any interference from the weather. We visited on a weekend (Sunday), and that day, it was a little crowded. Very good place to visit with your kids.

Experiencia positiva: Not as big as I thought it would be. Seemed to be more birds and reptiles than fish but it was nice.

Experiencia fantástica: It is a beautiful aquarium with a difference. Felt more like we were in a natural jungle with various types of birds, large and small animals, insects, reptiles, and of course variety of colourful tiny and large fish, etc

Experiencia fantástica: I travel quite a lot personally and for business. I make it a point to visit public aquariums whenever possible. I will say, Dallas has one of the best. Very well maintained and specimens you don't see elsewhere.

Experiencia fantástica: It's a great way to spend a couple hours. It's not a traditional aquarium, in my opinion. There are lots of other things to look at, like birds, snakes, and monkeys. I recommend it for kids, dates, and a fun spot to just walk around.

Experiencia negativa: Date: 05/10/2025 I recently visited the Dallas Aquarium and, honestly, it felt like something was missing. Despite being called an aquarium, there were hardly any sea creatures you’d expect — no sharks, dolphins, jellyfish, or starfish. Instead, they had more land animals like birds, snakes, frogs, and even a wild cat. It felt more like a mini zoo than an actual aquarium. I was on vacation in Dallas and couldn’t help but compare it to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago — and sadly, it doesn’t come close. If they want to stay true to the name, they really need to focus more on marine life rather than land animals.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love how much stuff there is to see at this aquarium. My mom and I spent 4 hours looking around at all the different exhibits. Senior prices are 26.99 and regular adult is 31.99. I have grown up going to this aquarium and still regularly enjoy visiting every few years. Great aquarium to bring your family and kids.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely magical! The Dallas World Aquarium is beautiful place full of wonders. From colorful birds flying to rare animals and water animals you will feel like an adventure. You must visit to see yourself and believe. It’s pretty good..!

Experiencia fantástica: Just a beautiful and fun place all the way around would love to go back with my nieces and nephews ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: This place was PERFECT for a rainy day adventure. The aquarium was well put together, clean, friendly, big, beautiful, all of the things!! I actually walked the whole thing twice bc I just knew I wouldn’t see everything the first walk through. The admissions was $34 after tax which I think is a reasonable price as I spend three hours there! I ate lunch in their cafe. Food was good for the price. I highly recommend for all ages!

Experiencia fantástica: Wow this experience I'm glad I had i wish it was less crowded, my daughter's birthday she wanted to come here for me some of this creatures brought touched my soul, meaning I realized the power they hold, the crocodile the size of him I mean his head he could easily crush every one and the manatee how beautiful they were I was spiritually connected to my lord ❤️.

Experiencia fantástica: Very busy on the weekend! If you want to go when it’s quite obviously go on a week day. It’s a pretty good aquarium. Personally not a fan of keeping big cats there though (personal preference). I grew up in Florida where they have a big cats sanctuary and are kept outside. Kids will love this! Do yourself a favor and bring a fan for your baby or young child. With walking around and the humidity in the aviary you’ll want it.

Experiencia fantástica: Our visit to the Dallas World Aquarium was absolutely amazing! The exhibits are beautifully designed and filled with incredible marine life, exotic birds, and even rainforest animals—it felt like stepping into a whole new world. The layout makes it easy to explore, and there’s something exciting around every corner. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, happily answering questions and sharing fun facts. It’s a perfect outing for families, couples, or anyone who loves nature and wildlife. Highly recommend for a fun, educational, and unforgettable experience!

Experiencia fantástica: I keep coming back here its so good to see the animals in a happy free place Shoebill was awesome The Australian penguins were Amazing and the Tree Kangaroo was the cherry on top

Experiencia fantástica: This place is super cool! They have so many interesting animals and live plants. Mostly aquatic creatures and birds, but not all. Great place for photos. The layout is well set up so you can see the whole place, and it's easy to get in and out. The cafe on the bottom level has really nice food. I would recommend visiting on a low traffic day if possible, and bringing ear plugs if you are sensitive to loud noise. We visited on a Friday, and there were a lot of kids running around playing and shouting, so it can be chaotic.

Experiencia fantástica: The Dallas World Aquarium is such a magical place! Every turn offers something incredible to see, and the exhibits are beautifully done. From the lush rainforest at the entrance to the colorful marine life exhibits, every part of the experience is thoughtfully designed and breathtaking. The variety of animals you get to see — from sloths and birds to sharks and rays — is truly impressive. Everything is well-maintained, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It’s a great place to learn, explore, and just be amazed by the beauty of nature. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Dallas! It’s perfect for all ages, whether you’re bringing kids, going on a date, or just exploring on your own. Highly recommend spending a few hours here — you won’t want to leave!

Experiencia fantástica: Joined my daughter for a school field trip here. We had an awesome time. I wasn't expecting to see all the other animals.

Experiencia positiva: Really nice but not really an aquarium. There are more land animals than aquatic animals, so more like a small zoo than an aquarium. It is super nice though.

Experiencia positiva: Too expensive for my tastes. Definitely worth going to once though. There's no one monitoring the prepaid parking so you might as well just use what they got there.

Experiencia fantástica: The Dallas World Aquarium was an amazing experience! It’s designed like a jungle, with so much to discover around every corner. We saw a wide variety of animals—not just aquatic ones—which made the visit even more exciting. It truly felt like stepping into a tropical paradise. Highly recommend for all ages!

Experiencia fantástica: This place has a lot of cool animals, from birds to insects. Though I wish some of the animals had a bigger enclosure like the otters and some monkeys. And to all my plant people out there, they have A LOT of really cool exotic plants that are just nice to look at too.

Experiencia fantástica: First time my family and I visited it and we loved the place

Experiencia fantástica: Loved my experience coming to the aquarium. Originally came for the aquarium and loved that a zoo was included in it. We had a great time !!! We went during a weekday around 2:30 pm and it wasn’t that populated with people. It was a nice surprise that the price included the zoo and aquarium. 10/10 recommend especially since I came from the east coast (Maryland) to visit for my son spring break. Thanks Dallas aquarium well worth it.

Experiencia negativa: Circle of Hell They’ll let anybody in. No limit on how many people can enter. Super super congested. Definitely a fire hazard. You can barely see anything cuz of the number of people in there. You can also barely see the animals (if you can even call it that). Mostly just birds. You can barely see the sharks due to bad lighting and they prefer to stay in the darker areas so they don’t swim above you. For how expensive the tickets are you would think there would be more. Aesthetically yes it’s nice but the waterfall and the plants soon become old cuz that’s not what you go for, you go for the animals. The experience suuuuucks. From the minute I got in I wanted to get out.

Experiencia fantástica: Ultimate, nicely maintained and having a good variety of dishes and birds, The entry ticket is too costly as compared to other zoo and aquarium But worth a visit onnce

Experiencia fantástica: I’m from San Diego and I think this place is better than our Zoo, also better than our aquarium! My reasoning: - land animals + fresh and saltwater aquariums - there is a path you go down and it’s really easy to navigate! - since you’re basically walking through a big jungle, the temp is consistent + you’re inside so NO SUNSCREEN IS NEEDED! - doesn’t take up the whole day - very ADA and stroller friendly :) There was a lot more diversity than I expected, and I was very impressed! My niece and nephew loved it and so did my parents + siblings :) there’s a little bit of everything!

Experiencia fantástica: Had an amazing experience along with my family at the Dallas Aquarium! It features a variety of Marine life along with other exhibits like the flamingos, penguins and the ocelot! It took us a total of 2-3 hours! The staff are amazing and friendly too! Definitely a great time!

Experiencia fantástica: It was really worth going! Even during the weekends there were a lot of people but the crowd was really wide spread

Experiencia positiva: Aquarium is underwhelming, a little expensive. But it's something to do with kids and Klyde Warren and Nasher museum (free on 1st Saturdays) are nearby,, for a full day thing. Food was surprisingly good (tortilla soup bowl). Get there early! 1030am was already busy on a Monday. They have a good nursing (pumping) and changing room on 2nd floor. See photos.

Experiencia fantástica: Wow!! I had very low expectations, and I was just blown away. This place has everything. Beautiful plants, animals of all sorts, and of course fish! The staff were friendly and helpful. The animals all seemed well cared for. It is a great time. We got there when they opened on a Saturday. It was already getting a bit crowded by the time we left.

Experiencia fantástica: Was way better than I was expecting. I thought an aquarium would just be fish in tanks but this was more like a zoo and an adventure through a tropical rain forest. The way the displays are setup and flow through all the exhibits is great. Fun way to spend the day with kids or a loved one.

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite Dallas attraction! Great for all ages, handicap accessible, and doubles as a learning outing. The sloth and manitee are the cutest!

Experiencia fantástica: place was cool, i went thinking i would only see aquatic life but i saw what seemed like all forms of life from birds to bugs

Experiencia positiva: It was a nice dy to spend a great location. Very well kept, lots to see and a friendly staff

Experiencia positiva: I went here a few weeks ago and the place looked really cool. They had a nice variety of animals compared to anything I have near me. Their enclosures looked a bit small and unkempt and the animals all looked depressed. I am no expert but I hope they are well cared for :( I don’t think it’s worth the price but if you do go, try not to go on the weekend— its way too crowded.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice exhibits and variety of species as birds and reptiles are abundant , not just underwater animals.Large crocodiles.manatee and sting rays.

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I went March 13th 2025 during spring break. It was 6 adults, a 2 year old, and a 6 month old. It cost $180 for all of us to visit for 2 hours not including parking. We could have stayed longer but there was so many people there that it was a bit uncomfortable sometimes trying to see whatever it was or trying to take a pic and not feel rushed to keep moving. But that is of no fault to the aquarium I dont feel. It is 3 floors and i know that we missed some things along the way even after going through twice. They have the giftshop on thec2nd floor but where you have to go through it to get to and see the rest of the animals. That was almost just as expensive as the tickets to get in by the time we made it through to the other side. They could have used more employees on duty throughout the entire aquarium. All of us had a great time though and made some memories with loved ones.

Experiencia fantástica: I didn’t expect much but we loved it! Everything was so close to us that we can see them so clearly! Will definitely be back. Took us about 2-2.5 hours to go through it thoroughly

Experiencia positiva: Fun experience, but we were packed in there like sardines. Perhaps going on a Sunday is not the best. The water was also so muggy and dark that you could barely see the sharks or other sea creatures. Not like it was when I visited 10 years ago. Seems like it hasn't been maintained well over the years.

Experiencia fantástica: It was a great experience!!! They have a great variety of animals, including a GIANT alligator, flamingos and fishes, it's a great place to spend the day with the family :D

Experiencia fantástica: We came to Dallas for a quick little getaway with Dallas World Aquarium and Dallas Zoo on our list of things to do. We really enjoyed the aquarium. Such a neat place to visit. Our 3yr old granddaughter wasn't too thrilled about how loud some of the birds could be, LOL, but she thoroughly enjoyed the fish, snakes, and frogs.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome experience. Great information, clean, and the animals seemed well taken care of.

Experiencia fantástica: I got there right as it opened at 8:30 a.m. which was a great time to go. I felt like I had the place to myself. I got a $10 parking spot in their lot and paid for it with my ticket. They had a good map and path that led you through the exhibits. It was a very big place and I felt like I was in a jungle. I highly recommend going.

Experiencia fantástica: Wow. Wide variety of flora and fauna to enjoy. We loved every minute of the experience. The narrow walkways can get crowded so I strongly recommend you get there early. There are a lot of strollers and wheelchairs which can slow down the lines. It’s a great location for all ages and if your family wants to experience the wide range of creatures our Earth has to offer this is a great place to visit. The map they give you is not very intuitive but friendly staff members are everywhere to assist you. I had to ask for directions a few times. The upper levels are easier to navigate but as you go down it’s really easy to miss some exhibits.

Experiencia fantástica: Love aquariums! Had so much fun here. I know places have areas where you could pet animals...only thing I would have liked.

Experiencia fantástica: We brought our daughter here for her 10th birthday and she loved it! She loves animals and was especially fascinated by the shoebill stork! The line gets really long but it goes super fast. The staff is nice and everything is clean. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Fun for the children definitely do not recommend to go on spring break. But overall the staff was efficient and moved the crowd. People were very respectful when trying to take photos.

Experiencia fantástica: Very cool place to visit. Lots of exhibits including a shark tunnel, penguins, bats, lots of aquariums. Birds, snakes, frogs, etc.

Experiencia fantástica: The Dallas Aquarium is a fantastic place to visit! It offers a wide variety of animals and exhibits that make it a fun and educational experience for all ages. I had a great time exploring the different marine and land creatures. The exhibits are well-maintained, and the animals appear to be well-cared for. It’s a perfect spot to spend a few hours and learn about the diverse species from around the world. Definitely a great place for families and anyone who loves animals!

Experiencia positiva: Overly crowded but great exhibits. Lots of walking. One of the Elevators not working making it difficult to navigate due to a handicap keeping me from being able to tell the depth of the stairs. Staff was extremely helpful & kind.
