Dallas’ biggest family attraction is its aquarium where kids and adults alike are sure to meet some of their favorite animals up close. It boasts dozens of different exhibits that aren’t limited to fish.

Truly one of the “can’t miss” places when it comes to the best things to do in Dallas.

In its upper level, you can explore an artificial reproduction of the Orinoco Rainforest, for instance. Kids can wave to all kinds of mammals and explore spacious aviaries where exotic birds fly around.

There’s also a real push to teach visitors about endangered species and the important role of conservation.
