Children’s Aquarium at Fair Park

The Dallas Aquarium at Fair Park opened in 1936 as part of the Texas Centennial celebration. Housed in its original Art Deco building, the Aquarium is home to a varied collection of thousands of aquatic animals, including marine and freshwater fish, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Come see an alligator snapping turtle weighing 135 pounds, a venomous lionfish, a 5-foot-long electric eel, a 6-foot-long alligator gar and much more including daily fish feedings!
