Great place for family, friends, kids or going solo. A variety of animals and has a cafe inside to enjoy as well. Average prices for food and drinks. I encourage you to buy tickets in advance to get free parking. Nice to visit and enjoy. Definitely recommend. Enjoy!

This is an animal lovers wonderland! Their enclosures are big and beautiful and they have a plethora of different species to see. From the moment you enter you are greeted by big, beautiful birds and stunning foliage. From there, the walk through the aquarium is seamless and intuitive. You really get to see everything up close and if you come in the mornings when they open, you can even stroll leisurely and take your time. Warning: if you attend anytime after 11am on a weekend you will be close quarters with other visitors and will have to share views and shuffle through with the crowd. Either way, this is a wonderful place to spend a few hours in Dallas!

This place is definitely a must visit. At first I wasn’t sure if it was an aquarium because you start off up stairs going through the animal sanctuary/portion. Lots of birds and four-legged friends to see at first.

As you spiral down you the aquarium, you encounter lots of sea creatures. The aquarium staff are super friendly, and the jungle café is a must do for a mango daiquiri.

Definitely need 2 to 3 hours to see everything .

This place is soo cool! First time visiting from out of state and this place did not disappoint. My kids loved this place. Love how you start on level 3 sort of the top of the rainforest and work your way down to ground level and ocean. Lots of cool different creatures you don’t see a lot of places. All the staff members were nice and friendly whenever we had questions

Even though it isn't a full aquarium, it is a pretty cool experience they have a huge variety of birds, reptiles and even dome mammals. The exhibit and the ambiance are pretty cool and make you feel like you are seeing the animals in their habitats. It is a pretty cool attraction but I would recommend going early since it can get hectic

The aquarium wasn't technically all an aquarium. There were tiers to the experience. Floor 1 was birds, and we had the pleasure of a toucan type of bird flying with us and through our party. Floor 2 was more amphibious/land animals and some water dwellers. Floor 3 was the huge aquarium, small aquariums (some were deep sea creatures where you couldn't use flash), then the one feature our kids absolutely loved was the Shark tunnel. You walk through the middle of the shark enclosure and can kind of see the sharks swimming casually out, and then all of a sudden, they're next to you! There were 2 saw sharks that were ginormous and very cool to see. It was a fantastic time and worth the trip! The Penguins were a huge deal to but off to the side, and not many people visited them.

Such a great experience! We took our kids and had a blast. They love learning about different animals and seeing the ones we've studied in real life. This place has so many to see! The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, willing to answer questions and make your trip more enjoyable. The paths are stroller friendly and there are even nursing rooms if you need to find a comfortable place to feed your baby! Don't hesitate to come here with the whole family 😁

Absolutely amazing! It was my dad’s first time being in an aquarium, and it definitely blew his socks off! We both loved it and saw some very cute creatures! In the gift shop, a older lady who worked there was telling us about the big manatee and how she was a rescue. She was very knowledgeable! The staff at the gift shops were kind. Definitely will come back!
The parking situation was kinda weird, we bought a pass while getting tickets. We aren’t from the area, so finding the place to park was a bit of a hassle. Signs would be nice!
I also love they partner with many different animal rescue groups to help bring endangered species back! I’d definitely support in any way I can! Loved it here!
I’d definitely buy tickets online wayyy in advance. Makes everything less of a headache!
