Dallas Aquarium at Fair Park: An Aquatic Learning Experience
Dallas Aquarium at Fair Park is located just east of Downtown Dallas at the Fair park grounds home of the famous Cotton Bowl and the State Fair of Texas.
The Dallas Aquarium features exotic marine and freshwater fish along with distinct reptiles and invertebrate. Although, the Dallas Aquarium is small in comparison, the aquarium definitely can hold its own in providing the most fascinating and interesting aquatic adventure. I was amazed and impressed at the many different species and various rare collection of marine life that this aquarium has acquired.
My favorite aquatic collections are, the “Alligator Snapping Turtle”, the “5-foot long Electric EEL”, and the huge Shark tank along with a massive stingray. The “Alligator Snapping Turtle” actually looks like a turtle with a shell that is big as an alligator. The “5-foot long Electric EEL” basically staked out its territory during the whole visit, however it was intriguing to watch. The Dallas Aquarium also features a “diving show” in the main tank so that patrons can ask questions about the aquarium. Also, do not forget the animal feedings daily at 2:30pm, the kids love it.
The Dallas Aquarium is full of aquatic facts and everyone will leave having learned a little something about marine life. This is a perfect outing for the whole family or just something to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon solo.
