Definitely the Dallas World Aquarium, but it's cool that we also have the Children's Aquarium in Fair Park and Sea Life Aquarium in the burbs. Lots of options to choose from.

I adore the Dallas World Aquarium, one of my favorite places to visit. But they mostly focus on rain forest exhibits. The Texas State Aquarium in Corpus is well worth a visit.

Texas State Aquarium hands down.

Dolphins, Sea turtles, Bald and Golden Eagle, Stingray petting tank(They swim up and rub against your hand like a cat), Otters, raptor show where they fly inches over your head, Yucatan rainforest, gulf reef and platform fish exhibit, Caribbean fish exhibit etc.

It's the only Texas Aquarium that ever makes top ten and top 25 lists nationwide and has been steadily expanding. It also has a functioning and important rehabilitation and research center. For example most of the large birds and the turtles and dolphins were rescues that couldn't be released back into the wild.

I have heard the Texas State Aquarium is nice. I hate that they have dolphins in captivity though.

Best in the state is the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus imo. Definitely worth the drive down.
