Owner description:
The adventure at The Dallas World Aquarium begins at the top of the rainforest exhibit, where exotic birds, such as Cocks-of-the-rock and many species of toucans, can be seen. Lounging around are Two-toed and Three-toed sloths. Endangered animals, such as Orinoco crocodiles, Giant river otters, Antillean manatees and several species of monkeys are part of the many conservation projects. The aquarium portion displays interesting marine life, including Japanese crabs, jellyfish, Leafy, Weedy and Ribbon seadragons. Black-footed and Blue penguins can be seen swimming as guests enjoy the outdoor South Africa exhibit. Sharks, rays and sawfish are only a few of the fish living in the Mundo Maya cenote. Safe from Neotropical eagles, are euphonias, tanagers and hummingbirds. Reptiles and amphibians, both of significance to the Maya culture, can be seen throughout the exhibit.

Welcome to the Largest Zoological Experience in Texas!

The Dallas Zoo is home to a herd of five female elephants and 13 giraffe. There is also an elevated platform where guests can feed giraffe, the tallest land mammals in the world! Guests will also see the fastest land mammal on Earth, the cheetah, as well as four African lions who often spend their days sleeping just inches away from the large viewing window inside the Serengeti Grill restaurant. The Wilds of Africa area features rare animals such as gorillas, chimpanzees and okapi, and guests can also take a 20 minute adventure on the elevated Monorail Safari ride. Guests will also enjoy getting eye-to-eye with African penguins as they swim effortlessly underwater.Highlights of the ZooNorth section of the Dallas Zoo include the Lacerte Family Children's Zoo, a top-rated reptile and amphibian complex featuring albino alligators, as well as the Zoo's new Koala Walkabout exhibit featuring koalas, red kangaroo, wallabies, and a lorikeet feeding area for up close adventures.
