The Dallas Aquarium at Fair Park
Just down the road from the Dallas Zoo, the Dallas Aquarium has been opened since 1936 and it's been a Texas family favorite ever since. When on a bus charter to Dallas, make a plan to stop here and the Dallas Zoo.
At the Dallas Aquarium are over 6000 animals including freshwater and marine fish, reptiles and invertebrates. The aquarium is a leader in the conservation and breeding of endangered Texas species; they were the first to breed the Texas blind salamander in captivity.
The unique Seahorse Rodeo exhibit displays a variety of seahorse species. From the large pot bellies to the dwarf seahorses, they are on display in all sizes and colors as well as their relatives the pipefish and shrimpfish. Also on exhibit are unusual creatures such as jellyfish, stone fish and 5 foot long electric eel. You'll find a recreation of a flooded Amazon rain forest, the water is alive with over 30 fish including the deadly Piranha.
The breeding lab at the Dallas Zoo is an exhibit in itself. A viewing window lets visitors get a behind the scenes look at the many active conservation programs at the aquarium. The fish and animals are fed at 2:30 daily in front of guests, with sharks feeding on Sundays and Wednesdays and the piranha eating on Tuesdays and Saturdays, the American alligators only get to feed on Fridays.
The Dallas Aquarium offers educational and field trip programs for school groups. School groups receive a discount for pre-registering. Call the aquarium at (214) 670-8443 for information.
