The Dallas World Aquarium

The Dallas World Aquarium We're open daily. Our hours are Monday - Sunday, 8:30 am - last entry 4:00 pm. Lounging around are Two-toed and Three-toed sloths.

We are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve last entry is at 2:00 PM, and Christmas Day. 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. 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.

It’s Friday. We’ve decided this is the correct amount of movement for the rest of the day. 😌

🐧🤍 African penguins are highly social, forming strong bonds and staying close to their colony. Even when one steps out for a little quiet time, the rest are rarely too far behind.

Every move you make, every step you take… the ocelot is watching. 👀 With exceptional night vision and highly sensitive hearing, ocelots can track prey in dense vegetation before moving in with remarkable patience and precision.

Consider this your reminder that someone is always watching… especially when snacks are involved. 🐆

Does that look like a “come on over” wave to anyone else?
