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.

The Guianan cock-of-the-rock is one of the most colorful birds in the rainforest. Males use their brilliant orange plumage and distinctive crest to stand out during courtship displays, turning the forest into their own stage.

Some birds blend in. Others make sure everyone notices them.

Some birds chirp. Some command the entire rainforest. 🦅

Harpy eagles are among the most powerful birds of prey on Earth, using their massive talons to hunt high in the rainforest canopy. One look from them and you understand why they rule the skies.

It’s pretty easy to tell that David might be our brown-throated three-toed sloth’s favorite person. 🦥🤎

Tiny but impossible to ignore. 🐸

The Yellow-Banded Dart Frog uses its bright colors as a warning to predators in the wild. These striking amphibians are native to the rainforests of northern South America, where they spend their days climbing through damp forest floors and low vegetation.

One look at those colors, and you understand why nature doesn’t need to whisper. Visit them at The Dallas World Aquarium.

🦘Lenah is doing her part for the 3rd Annual International Tree Kangaroo Crunch-a-Thon… one very loud bite at a time. 🥬

Tree kangaroos spend most of their lives in the treetops of rainforest habitats in Papua New Guinea and Australia, where they play an important role in keeping forest ecosystems healthy. But habitat loss continues to threaten their future, which is why campaigns like this help bring attention to conservation efforts around the world.

💚 Join us in celebrating tree kangaroos all week long ahead of World Tree Kangaroo Day on May 21 at The Dallas World Aquarium.

Built for the shadows, ocelots move through the wild with quiet precision. Their spotted coats help them disappear into dense forests while they hunt at night using incredibly sharp hearing and eyesight.

Even in stillness, they never stop observing.
