Did your kids just love Nemo? I know mine did. That is why I checked out the Dallas World Aquarium. Being a Native from Chicago, it is hard to top the John G. Shedd Aquarium with an Oceanarium that is an infinity pool that vanishes into Lake Michigan. Breathtaking!
However when I read some of the reviews on Virtualtourist, I started to think differently. Here is a sampling of what some of the reviewers said:
“This is not just an aquarium. It is also a zoo, complete with Tamarins, Snakes, and a Panther; along with many other things.”
“There is a 22,000-gallon tunnel which you can walk through to really feel part of the reef life. Some of the marine life comes from Palau, Southern Australia, Lord Howe Island, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Bahamas, British Columbia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Japan. There is also a new rain forest exhibit featuring newly born howler monkeys and other land creatures.”
This persuaded me to put this on our list to do. The overhead tunnel looks stunning....maybe not as stunning as the Shedd Aquarium, but stunning in its own right!
