So, you're a kid, eh? Or maybe you're just a kid at heart. Either way, you're headed in the right direction. Dallas/Fort Worth & Beyond is home to more fun per capita than any region in the country. No, really. Where else can you stare down a giraffe, chill island-style in a tropical-themed water park and reach dizzying heights on a rock-climbing wall all in one day? Yup, you said it. And it's all waiting for you right here. This custom tour is all you need to get started. Just be sure to pack a camera. These are memories you'll never want to forget.

The child-friendly design offers interactive exhibits for hands-on exploration, with a Coastal touch pool filled with horseshoe crabs, sea stars, sea urchins, anemones, and other creatures.

Nearby, they can watch Southern stingrays and zebra, bonnethead, and other sharks swimming in a larger pool.
