Dallas World Aquarium
The Dallas World Aquarium, nestled in Dallas, Texas, is both a zoo and aquarium that plays a significant role in conservation and education. Opened in 1992 within a refurbished 1924 warehouse, it has expanded over the years to include several notable exhibits such as 'The Orinoco - Secrets of the River,' the Mundo Maya exhibit, and the Cloud Forest Trek. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums since 1997, it collaborates with global zoos for breeding programs, focusing on threatened and endangered species.
Exhibits like the Orinoco simulate rainforest environments, housing diverse species from aviaries and primates to Amazonian fish and manatees. Its Cloud Forest Trek, opened in 2021, offers an immersive experience with the only public display of three-toed sloths in the U.S. The Mundo Maya exhibit features tropical and marine animals native to Mexico and Central America, complemented by a 400,000-gallon Shark Tunnel. Additionally, the aquarium engages in educational partnerships with local schools, supporting hands-on learning opportunities in business and management for Dallas students.
