The Dallas World Aquarium is home to animals from five continents, 14 countries, three oceans, and countless rivers and seas. Housed in an old warehouse, it also includes an aviary; a South Africa exhibit; and a rainforest exhibit with amphibians, reptiles, mammals (everything from vampire bats to Antillean manatees), and fish. The aquarium is also home to a jaguar and a leopard. Daily interactive activities include otter, penguin, sea turtle, and manatee feedings. The aquarium is perfect for school visits, with an on-site staff that works with educators to tailor lesson plans. The aquarium also houses Eighteen-O-One, a good restaurant for a quick snack or lunch, along with Café Maya and Jungle Café. The Dallas World Aquarium is open year-round— September 1 to February 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and March 1 to August 31 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $20.95 for adults, $16.95 for seniors, and $12.95 for children.
