Dallas World Aquarium and Zoo

Pros: Fish and animals convenient to downtown Dallas
Cons: Needs more fish, needs lower prices

What the heck is UP at the Dallas World Aquarium and Zoo? The place could be SOOO cool, but with it's schizophrenic identity crisis, it's limited collection, and it's high prices, I just can't help but be underwhelmed by the experience. ...

Pros: Beautiful exhibits, very creative environments, the sharks!
Cons: Expensive! Very crowded with school groups, crowd flow is not so good.

I visited the Dallas World Aquarium on March 8, 2005. After reading other reviewers comments, I was aware the aquarium was a pricey adventure. However, it appeared the price has gone up even since 2003, because we paid a whopping $15.95 per person! I ...

Pros: Mundo Maya exhibit, the 42 feet long aquarium tunnel, six exhibits, manatees, numerous species.

The Dallas World Aquarium is an inside aquarium and a zoo located in downtown Dallas, Texas. The Dallas World Aquarium is housing many animals that are threatened or endangered and half of the building is constructed to give visitors a sense of being in ...

Pros: Absolutely Gorgeous! Worth every penny for admission. Very entertaining for adults and children.
Cons: I live to far away to go more often.

First of all I must tell you that I am a Zoo freak! I love Zoo’s! No matter where I go I always find a zoo when I get there. I was like that long before my son was born and I am so happy he loves zoos as well. I have been to some of the USA’s finest...

Pros: exciting, beautiful
Cons: price

I'm a penguin lover and once I found out that the Dallas Aquarium had penguins, I knew for sure my family would be visiting while on vacation in Dallas.

Upon arrival we walked up to the door and found the only down fall to the visit, the...

Pros: Rainforest, animals, penguin
Cons: a bit expensive

Dallas is a great place to visit, especially for kids. I would know, I grew up there. I still do live there. Why, you might ask? Because I love it! The following are a few cool places you might consider visiting if you are family coming to the...

Pros: unusual setting, beautiful fish and flora
Cons: a little pricey

The Dallas World Aquarium is a definite must-see when you're in Dallas, especially in the summer, when it's too hot to do anything outside. This is not your usual aquarium. It's a magical place featuring flora, fauna, birds, animals and yes, more than a...

Pros: amazing use of limited space
Cons: too expensive for its size

I have been to a number of the world's best zoos and aquariums and have never seen an exhibit area that uses it space better than much of the exhibit area at the Dallas World Aquarium and Zoo. If it were not for the fact that the total exhibit space of ...

Pros: tropical atmosphere, good variety, clean
Cons: expensive to get in, cramped quarters for some animals

We go to the Dallas Aquarium for the tropical experience along with learning what we can about other animals/species of the world. Spring time is when we usually make out visit and we try to do it during the week. Weekends are always crowded and there...

Pros: Your kids may like it
Cons: Hot, expensive, crowded, no fish

Well, I took my 6 mo old down there to get out of the 100 degree+ Dallas heat. I imagined a cool place full of water & aquatic life..... wrong place. I am not sure why they call it an aquarium. It is more like a typical zoo house. It was hotter inside ...

Pros: Great exhibits
Cons: the price--but you should splurge once!

The Dallas Aquarium is a great Dallas site to spend about 3-4 hours. Incredible exhibits, especially the rain forest -- standing less than a foot away from a 3-toe sloth in an open exhibit was amazing. The different aquarium exhibits from different areas...

Pros: Healthy creatures, up close view
Cons: Kinda humid but it IS a rainforest!

We actually plan weekend trips from our dusty West Texas home to relish in the sights and sounds of the Dallas World Aquarium. From the moment you enter the building you are transported to a South American rainforest full of screeching howler monkeys,...

Pros: incredible experience for a VERY reasonable price
Cons: NONE

When my sister, who lives in Dallas, suggested that we take the kids to the Dallas World Aquarium, I was less than thrilled. We'd just been to the Texas State Aquarium a few months before and, while it was fun, it seemed like once you've seen one...

Pros: It was inexpensive
Cons: A wonderful experiance

I took my 2 year old daughter to the aquarium last month and me and her had a blast.They had alot of neat sights of fish that I haven't ever even seen before.It was beautiful and a perfect place to go with your kids of all ages.I would hold my daughter...

Pros: Beautiful exhibit!
Cons: Can be a little crowded.

I personally LOVE the DWA! I think people that view it so negatively are probably the people I see every time i go who rush through every exhibit and don't take any time to stop and really look. Also, people seem to have a very jaded idea of just how ...
