Coming here, we didn’t know what to expect. But it was a lot of fun looking at all the exhibits. Love that there’s interactive exhibits - feeding the sting rays, petting them, and the doctor fish. We enjoyed listening to the interactions and getting to ask questions. Highly recommend visiting here!

  • Tiffany Brown

A great hands on place for kids to learn and explore. We had an easy entry with pre-printed tickets. The kids enjoyed the touch tanks and the sting ray bay! $5 to feed the sting rays is a great experience and the kids enjoyed getting so close to the sea life. Wonderful way to spend a day. More

  • Devon Morris

This was such a fun experience for the family! The kids absolutely loved petting the stingrays, who are very friendly. If you don't live in Dallas like us, you should definitely plan other things to do as the aquarium is kind of small but definitely have this on your list of places to visit.

Today was our very first visit for our son's 7th Birthday. We had such a blast! The place was neat and clean. The staff very sweet and knowledgeable. The best part was feeding and petting the stingrays. They were so sweet! We loved our visit so much, we are buying a membership!

  • Stephen Arsenault

It was a short trip through the aquarium. Most of the space had air conditioning. The kids enjoyed it overall. This is only a small part of Fair Park that we visited. Area is a little run down, but I hope our "donations" help restore this area to greatness! More

  • Kaitlyn Holliday

I visited this aquarium with my boyfriend recently and had a blast! I absolutely adored the staff as they were all super helpful and knowledgeable on all the various fish. My favorite part had to be the sting rays as they are very friendly and adorable! More

We hosted our 4 yos birthday party and it was a fantastic day. James was our host, he couldn’t have been more wonderful in his knowledge and passion for the animals and connection with the children. It was a great experience, everyone there

  • Dustin Burnham

We were able to give our son, so many unique experiences here. This aquarium has a plethora of interactive activities, with the stingray encounter, and an opportunity to feed them among the top attractions. There are also these bizarre fish

  • Balaji Sudarsan

We love to go to this aquarium. The aquarium is small but is very informative with all exhibits there. Especially the doctor fish, stingray feeding. We were able to touch and feel a bull snake. The guide was so nice, informative and patient

  • Collin Tsui

Great place to visit with the kids. This aquarium is smaller than most others we've been to, but the interactivity more than makes up for it. The aquarist talks are great (Greg spent a lot of time answering our questions and sharing stories

  • Scott Berry

Start teaching your children early about the beauty and wonder of the underwater world. If they understand it, and love it, they will protect it. The children’s aquarium in Fair Park is a wonderful and affordable way to introduce young ones

  • Kamilah Jackson

This is a nice comfortable outing for small children ages 2-6 to me. I took my 2 y/o grandchildren and they had a ball. You can touch the string rays for free. A bonus. They ran around in the rooms and I was snot to keep up with them. It’s

  • melanie yager

This place is really neat. It's very small, however, the sting ray exhibit is one of the coolest we have been to. It seemed like they came up to you and wanted to be touched. They were always coming up to the surface where you could touch

  • Johnny Crow

A nice little aquarium. The price and the experience are well worth it especially if you have other stuff planned for the day. While it's not huge it is well taken care of and they have a lot of different species and if your kids love sea

  • Kelly Low

It is a very small aquarium, but the tickets were comparably cheap compared to most aquariums (less than $30 for two adults!) Probably could've walked through in less than 20 minutes, but there are some seats to sit down and stare at the

The Children's Aquarium Dallas at Fair Park was fun for our little one. From sting ray feeds and Dr fish interaction to the all the aquariums being at the perfect height for our toddler. This aquarium knows how to keep little ones plenty

  • Hannah Brewer

This aquarium is small, but it is affordable and super nice! Great selection of sea life to view. Most exhibits are at a level that toddlers can see without being lifted. The entry fee alone is justified by the mini spa you get with the

  • Jacob Riley

5 stars for the overall experience. Kids loved the Dr. Fish, the little fish that eat your dead skin, feeding the stingrays, and coloring fish to bring them alive in an animated tank. Staff was friendly and place was clean. Free parking

Lots of interactive things to do, perfect for all kids! My children from 5-14 loved it! In and out in about an hour. Doctor fish was one of many highlights. Sting rays are sooo cute, and you can feed them as well as pet them!

Very his quantity of different species. My 3 year old was excited the whole time. They have various hands on activities one can share with their children. I thoroughly enjoyed even as an adult. 10/10. Very fairly priced too.

The aquarium is small but cute. The staff was very friendly. They have a few interactive exhibits for the kids to enjoy. I highly recommend it for smaller children. Petting the sting rays was really fun.

  • jeffrey diego

Our two grandkids loved this adventure into aquatic life. Amazing displays and exhibits. They spent the most time at the stingray tank petting the stingrays. A great time spent and an excellent value.

  • M P (MPthatsMe)

4-5 rooms. A place to feed the stingrays. You can buy a cup of stingray food for $5 (it will only have 3-4 lil chucks to feed them. ) They go fast. Have us something to do for a couple hours. More

Very clean and super friendly staff. It’s a smaller aquarium with very neat experiences like petting and feeding stingray. A walk around the park surrounding the museum makes for a nice ending.
