toddler fun in dallas

we love the children's aquarium in dallas. Here's {some of the reasons} why:

1. lots of colorful fish, sharks, alligators and sting rays
2. small enough you can let the children out of the strollers and run around without worrying about losing them, but still large enough to make it worth going
3. you can TOUCH (and feed, if you want to spend the $$) the sting rays and you can TOUCH the crabs
4. there is a little lunch/picnic table area... perfect for the always needed snack time
5. it's nearly all inside, so you can go in the heat or the cold
6. it is SO affordable- i think i bought a year membership for $20
7. parking is FREE
8. they have a sea turtle
9. they have Nemo and Dory fish
10. the octopus is awesome too

AND

I loved that our visit to the aquarium left the kids so worn out (and happy!) it resulted in a 3.5 hour nap for both of them!

see ya next time ray!
