More than an aquarium
Dallas World Aquarium offers an indoor walk through a tropical rainforest DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com As temperatures plummet down into the 90s, you may be ready to begin to venture out of your air-conditioned home — just not too much out yet.
Dallas World Aquarium may be just what you are looking for, since it offers a walk through a tropical rainforest in downtown Dallas.
But it’s an indoor walk. Aquarium may be a misnomer for this tropical zoo. The main exhibit is a recreation of the rainforest surrounding the Orinoco River, one of the longest rivers in South America.
Walk through the canopy of the forest and descend to ground level and underwater — the aquarium. In the canopy lives a wide variety of colorful birds and a variety of monkeys and sloths.
