At the Children's Aquarium Dallas your kids can pet and feed the friendly Stingrays, come face to face with Sharks, and meet Athena the Giant Pacific Octopus. We've added musical fun outdoors with Pianos on the Plaza. An inflatable Corn Maze adds to the excitement, and our real Mining Sluice offers a search for real gems and fossils. We've extended our hours during the Fair from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., daily.
BEST OF THE BIG D AWARDS: BEST FAMILY ATTRACTION
Thanks, D Magazine for naming us the Best Family Attraction in Dallas! We are excited and honored.
The magazine's reporters wrote: "Inside Fair Park, this once overlooked and recently revitalized aquarium is home to friendly stingrays that you can feed and pet for a hands-on (hands-wet?) experience. Keep an eye out for spiky sea urchins, a rhino iguana, or (our favorite) the chocolate chip sea star. 1462 First Ave. 469-554-7340."
