Described by visitors as more zoo than aquarium, the quaint Dallas World Aquarium provides a unique experience attractive to families. Feel like you’ve entered a real rain forest at the aquarium’s re-creation of the South America Orinoco Rainforest, home to colorful birds and the only three-toed-sloth exhibit in the US.

Q:Does the Dallas World Aquarium have penguins?
A:
Yes, the Dallas World Aquarium has two types of penguins—the blue and black-footed penguin (also hilariously known as a Jackass penguin). Penguins are active and social animals, so you’ll likely see them swimming, slipping, and sliding into the water.

A:
The Dallas World Aquarium doesn’t have dolphins, but it has a range of other animals in enclosures, hailing from South Africa, Borneo, and Mundo Maya. Its most popular aquatic residents include crocodiles, jellyfish, and stingrays, some of which you can see in the colossal walk-through tank.
Q:Does the Dallas World Aquarium have sea turtles?
A:
While the Dallas World Aquarium doesn’t have any sea turtles in its aquarium section, it does have several other species of turtle in the enclosures themed around Borneo and Mundo Maya. These include the red-eared slider turtle, the Mexican giant musk turtle, and the yellow-spotted Amazon turtle.
