Children's Aquarium Dallas at Fair Park

The Children loved this attraction!!! This place and the Attendants/employees were super nice and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience! Thanks to Omar for excellent customer service!!! We had the last slot for 3pm for the Sea horse party package on 1/25/25 and as a parent and a customer I am totally for this fun family and educational experience!!! This is a must see attraction and please book a party room as I did, you won't be disappointed!!! Very cool place for the entire family!!! They offer two party packages Sea Horse party package and, or the Stingray party package $250/$400!!!

Kids loved the tiny sucker fish and feeding the sting ray. It’s a smaller aquarium, so you go through it quickly. Nice activity for the price, though I’d have liked the octopus to have a larger habitat.

Exceptional Experience at Dallas Children’s Aquarium! Our visit to the Dallas Children’s Aquarium was absolutely delightful, thanks to the incredible staff and thoughtfully designed exhibits. We arrived at 10 a.m. on a mellow Thursday morning, and it was the perfect time to enjoy a relaxed and educational experience. A special shoutout to Star, Summer, and Remy, who went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable: • Star introduced us to the fascinating sight of fish jumping to eat. Her enthusiasm made learning so fun! • Remy guided us through an incredible stingray encounter. We purchased two pieces of clam, and my 3-year-old daughter had the joy of feeding and touching the stingrays. The excitement was worth the water splashes—bring a backup shirt for your little ones! • Summer charmed us with her knowledge, showing us the fish tank where tiny fish give playful “kisses” when you put your hand in. Such a unique and interactive experience! Garra rufa! The educational opportunities were endless. We loved the peaceful ambiance, and the back area with blacklight decorations and tanks was perfect for creativity. Great for sensory kids! My daughter enjoyed the provided coloring activities while surrounded by a glowing underwater world. As a mom who has visited countless zoos and aquariums, I was blown away by the unique sea creatures here, especially the very large pufferfish, 3 leafy seahorses, and the alligator snapping turtle. They’re rare finds you don’t just see everywhere! The outdoor aquarium area was another highlight, and we captured adorable photos with the giant octopus statue in front and the vibrant chameleon display inside. For just $25 for both of us, it was an affordable, hands-on homeschool field trip. Don’t skip the gift shop! We grabbed a small memento to support this wonderful establishment and its mission to care for marine life. Thank you to the team at Dallas Children’s Aquarium for such a fun, educational, and memorable day. We’ll be back! 🌊✨

We became members before ever going to the Aquarium. And we're so happy we did! My kids 7, 4, and 2 love walking in, their faces light up, and their imagination goes wild. We were fortunate to see the stingrays and sharks being fed. We learned that a sea turtle in the tank was rescued after being hit by a boat. How amazing it is to have this poor baby being cared for by amazing humans. This is such a good idea for any weekend or weekday. Definitely check out their IG page to learn about the events coming up and plan ahead.

The Children's Aquarium is a fantastic place.The interactive exhibits are engaging and educational, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!"
