Dallas Attractions - Dallas
World Aquarium
by James C
When most people think about Dallas they think about
cattle and cowboys. Dallas is much more than that however. While they have
retained some of their old world charm Dallas has also become a world class
city. This means they have also become home to a number of attractions to
entertain tourists. One of the most incredible attractions is the Dallas World
Aquarium. So what makes it so incredible?
The Dallas World Aquarium is located in the West End
district of downtown Dallas in a former warehouse. It host quite an extensive
variety of marine life divided into several areas. The Aquarium contains over
85000 gallons of salt water which is home to a great variety of creatures from
around the world. In the aquarium among other things to do you can walk through
a tunnel containing 22000 gallons of water. The tunnel will give you a
panoramic view of reef life. It is quite an experience. Once you finish with
the aquarium you are not done. Now head into the rainforest and experience the
great variety of plant and animal life in the rainforest. Then visit the South
Africa area, the Munda Maya area and many more attractions. As you can see, the
Dallas World Aquarium is more than just a bunch of fish. It is a total
experience that will both entertain and educate you. This makes it a must see
attraction in Dallas whether you are a resident or a tourist.
If you would like to visit the aquarium you can find it at
1801 North Griffin Street in Dallas. Before going you should call the
information line at 214-720-2224 for current ticket prices and hours of
