The Dallas World Aquarium is a mid-sized, Dallas-based institution that combines a rainforest habitat with an aquarium to present a diverse range of wildlife. Its exhibits feature tropical birds, sloths, and endangered species such as Orinoco crocodiles, giant river otters, Antillean manatees, and several monkeys, reflecting ongoing conservation projects. The marine galleries showcase creatures like jellyfish and seadragons, with penguins in an outdoor South Africa exhibit and sharks, rays, and other species in the Mundo Maya cenote. The organization operates within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector and serves visitors seeking educational experiences about nature and biodiversity in Dallas, Texas. In 2021, it completed construction of the Cloud Forest Trek as its newest exhibit, illustrating ongoing expansion of its habitats and learning opportunities.
