  • The Dallas World Aquarium was built in an old warehouse in downtown Dallas Texas and is essentially an indoor Orinoco Rainforest and in this video, Dāv Kaufman takes you all on a complete aquarium tour! The Dallas World Aquarium is more than just another aquarium, it's more of a combined zoo complete with a cloud forest trek where you will experience more birds, parrots, song birds, and birds of prey than you can count! You'll also see monkeys, reptiles, amphibians giant otters and even a manatee! If that wasn't enough, they even have a shark tunnel! If you're visiting the Dallas or Fort Worth area, this is one tourist attraction you don't want to miss! The Dallas World Aquarium has been accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) since 1997 and a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) since 2000.

    Thank you so much for sharing Zoos and Aquariums with us. I find it hard to get out these days and videos like this really help. I love animals of all types! Even the Dav type ;-)

    I just found this video; the last time I visited this aquarium with my family, that shoebill stork scared himself on accident, just by stretching his head out, and into an overhanging vine that I guess he forgot was there. We laughed. A lot. Bless his heart.

    Wow this seems like such an amazing place, I love giant ecosystems like that. It reminds me of the Amazon rainforest dome and the steinhardt aquarium at the California academy of sciences in San Francisco. It's one of my favorite museum/zoo/quariums I've ever been to and you should definitely visit if you haven't before. And while you're in the area you can't skip the Monterey Bay aquarium. It's hands down the best aquarium/zoo I've ever been to! Thanks for showing us all these cool places

    That place was amazing! It's almost a misnomer to call it an aquarium when it has so many other animals in it. Loved your walkthrough of it and would love to see more of these types of videos. One of the most amazing exhibits I have seen is the world of birds show at the Minnesota Zoo. They had an owl fly so close over my head that it ruffled my hair! That would be another great zoo for you to tour if you haven't already.

  • @katya2032
    @katya2032 Před 2 lety +2

    I haven’t been in about 15 years, but I love that aquarium. They used to have informational plaques on the exhibits, especially for the monkey island. That part used to be open air so the birds could fly around. Got close to a few a couple of times. The tree was too far from the walkways for the primates to jump over.
    And you’re lucky to have seen the otters. I’ve been many times, and they were always napping.

    • @kellybraun7048
      @kellybraun7048 Před 9 měsíci

      Sounds like they took the plaques out, perhaps to be more “natural”. Perhaps they need an audio tour option, where you can borrow or rent an audio set that talks about each exhibit and shows the plaques through the QR codes. Idr where I was, but there was a museum that did this so you didn’t have to go in order for the audio tour, you just scanned the code at the beginning of each room… maybe one of the Philly history museums.

    Love it!! Dallas World Aquarium is one of my local places. The area you were in where the ocelot was is pretty neat. Did you see the Mundo Maya performance part?
    The QR codes are a newer thing (since the last time I visited a few years ago), previously for the rainforest portion they had a booklet that you got right at the beginning thta included all the info for the birds and maybe a few others but most of the exhibits that were in more contained enclosures had an info card.
    If you want to check out other zoo type places in DFW, there is the Heard Natural History Museum on the North side of DFW in McKinney, and definitely check out both Dallas Zoo and Ft Worth Zoo :)

    I’m torn. On one hand, it’s a somewhat realistic view, in a nutshell, of aquatic life in specific regions of earth. These are creatures that most people are not going to have the opportunity to see in their natural habitats, so it’s educational in that sense. However, realistically speaking, these are all small enclosures. That poor ocelot, pacing in a glass enclosed cubicle! How absurd! It should be on a tropical jungle preserve deep in the Andes. And large aquatic mammals in a glass enclosed cubicle? No. I’m sorry, it’s just cruel to put them on display while alive. I appreciate your videos Dav, I know that many zoos these days take in animals, mammals, birds, and reptiles, that actually need to be taken care of by humans now, because they are not able to thrive in their natural habitats independently, for various reasons. Unlike in the old days when they purposely bred in captivity FOR zoo exhibits, Although I know it’s still done to an extent.
