The North Texas area is fortunate enough to have many fine zoos and aquariums. As stated in it's name, this aquarium is located at Fair Park and is managed by the Dallas Zoo. The aquarium has a great breeding program which involves some native Texas fish. It also allows "feeding time" to be viewed. And three days a week spectators can even see piranhas chow down. |
| The aquariums exhibits, from "Amazon Flooded Forest" to "World of Aquatic Diversity" are both educational and fun. In addition to the usual fish, the aquarium also features an alligator snapping turtle weighing 135 pounds, venomous lion fishes, a five-foot-long electric eel, a six-foot-long alligator gar and a lot more! |
