Spinefoot foxface, pink skunk clownfish, and lyretail anthias may sound like a few things you’d rather not come in contact with. But don’t fret — they’re just colorful Fijian fish that you’ll find happily swimming around at the Dallas World Aquarium. An enormous amount of water — 85,000 gallons to be exact — holds marine life from three oceans and countries including Palau, Australia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Japan. And if you’re interested in those all-important top-of-the-food-chain hunters, head to the Predator exhibit for white-spotted bamboo shark, queen triggerfish, and green moray eel sightings. Then catch a glimpse of the fascinating world under the sea by walking through the 22,000-gallon tunnel with a panoramic view. The rainforest, South Africa, and Mundo Maya exhibits are also worth a visit for a peek at toucans, penguins, snakes, and more sharks. With names like foxface rabbitfish, how can you pass these marine creatures by? They’re living the life aquatic, so go check them out.

Lots to see

"The Aquarium has a collection of about 6,000 animals, including salt and freshwater fish, reptiles, and more. They offer special events and attractions for guests each day. It is a bit pricey so be prepared before you go. "

A great way to spend a couple hours

Brad N's rating:

"I have no idea why they call this an Aquarium? Still a great place to visit. The aquarium is built around “rain forest”, the real main attraction. They have about 7 tanks that are 5’x5’ and a large lagoon with a 20’ glass viewing wall that winds through the bottom of the rain forest. You’ll see lots of birds, monkeys, and large and small cats. Their are creepy crawlies like spiders, snakes, and frogs. (behind glass). You will see a few very exotic fish, a couple of manatees, and a small group of penguins. Highly recommended for the kids, but adults will enjoy it just as much."
