Chad and I have been trying to go out and do something we couldn't do in Vegas. The other day we decided to drive down to Dallas and take Vance to the aquarium. It was so pretty. It's way more than just an aquarium. It had all kinds of different plants and animals. You followed the path through 3-floors of exhibits all covered in greenery.
Vance was way more into some exhibits than others. He had a hard time seeing the animals in all of the exhibits if they weren't moving. While we were there we watched a penguin feeding that Vance thought was pretty cool.
They had this really cool glass walkway with sharks swimming all around. It was a little creepy, but Vance didn't seem to think so.
My favorite exhibit was this rad octopus. At point point it was pressed up to the glass with its 8 legs suctioned on. You can't really tell how bright the colors were in the picture below but it was bright pinks and oranges.
I took the following description off of the DWA website: Experience nature’s adventure at The Dallas World Aquarium. The facility is home to a unique display of flora and fauna from five continents, 14 countries, three oceans, numerous seas and rivers. The 200-foot Wilds of Borneo Entrance ramp is lined with plants and animals representative of this region of the world for your enjoyment as you enter the complex.
The Aquarium portion of The Dallas World Aquarium includes marine species from around the world. Adjoining the aquarium are the outdoor South Africa exhibit and the seasonal Madagascar display. The indoor pathway continues at the bottom level of the Mundo Maya exhibit by way of a forty-foot long tunnel through the Cenote filled with sharks and rays. The stone pathway ascends into the upper levels where tiny hummingbirds and large raptors have an up-close encounter with the tall Tree of Life.

Looks like fun! The octopus did look cool :)
That walk thru glass part is a little like the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Very cool.
