• The entire inside (and outside) of the aquarium is decorated to look like a tropical rainforest, complete with tropical plants and walkways disguised to look like forest paths.
• In addition to fish, sea animals, and amphibians, the aquarium also has monkeys, birds, sloths, snakes, and a jaguar.
• The trip through the aquarium starts at the top, with birds and monkeys that live in the rainforest canopy, and moves down through the layers of the rainforest all the way to the seafloor .
• The sloth exhibit has no enclosure. And if you were tall enough you could touch the sloth, though you would probably get escorted from the premises if you did.
• There is a 40-foot tunnel through a large tank where visitors can watch sharks and other fish swim above and around them.
• The Dallas World Aquarium has more than 85,000 gallons of saltwater to house their aquatic life.

• The aquarium also has the only water opossum in captivity in the world.
• Walking through the entire aquarium and rainforest takes between 1 and 2 hours.
