The unique feature I enjoyed most about the Dallas World Aquarium, is that it not only included plenty of beautiful aquatic creatures, but also other species of mammals and animals from other habitats and environments as well, which gave the feel of not only being in an aquarium but a live rain forest as well.

The walk through was quite enjoyable and was perfect for capturing my 2 eight years old attention and curiosity for 2 PLUS hours! One of the first exhibits my kiddos enjoyed was on the second level of beneath the canopy and sloth forest which had a unique interactive feature where children could experience some of mist and fog of the rain forest.

Of course there are a few dining options as well in each of the 3 levels/habitats – a c Cafe Maya, in Mundo Maya. Cafe Jungle in Orinoco Rainforest, and eighteen -O- One in the Aquatic/Aquarium level.

The visit to the Dallas World Aquarium, was an enjoyable experience and was the perfect educational, and entertaining family outing for exploring summer fun, and staying out of the Texas Sun!
