The Dallas World Aquarium and Rainforest and Mundo Maya are all in one place. The rainforest is the most spectacular to me. You start upstairs in the "canopy" foliage of the rainforest and slowly walk down to underneath the water. In the meantime you see the different levels of ecosystems in each. There are different kinds of monkeys, birds, crocodiles, stingrays, manatees and all kinds of fish just to name a few. The aquariaum also features penguins in an outdoor environment and sharks that can be seen from above and underneath a walk thru tunnel. The mundo maya part is newer and features a jaguar and other creatures. There is a distinct feeling I get when I walk in and feel like I'm actually in the rainforest. There is a large waterfall that feeds into part of the aquarium. My two boys really enjoy it. They don't want to leave when its time to go. My only regret is that the admission price is high, however if you live close enough I reccomend the season pass which makes it much more affordable if you visit more than twice in a year.
