always have seasonal beautiful flowers and shrubs arrangements. great place for picnics, or just walking in the beauty of nature
The botanical garden is also a free park. The Dallas Botanical Garden is also quite large. There are many plants in this place. The Dallas Botanical Garden is also very comfortable. The large areas of plants are very lush and clean, and it is also very fun.

The Dallas World Aquarium was the biggest surprise of this trip. It was more fun and beautiful than any other attraction in the Dallas Citypass. Perhaps because of this, the attractions in the Citypass do not include the aquarium, and the tickets have to be purchased separately for about $25. Visiting the aquarium is an exciting thing, especially before entering the door, you can see the full forest style layout at the door. There are big birds outside the door, and you can also see little penguins playing in the water from the side. After entering, go directly to the second floor, first there are birds, then small animals such as monkeys and sloths, and then marine animals. I have to say that there is a lobby in DWA that is divided into many small areas on the wall. There are different marine animals in each small window, and the name of the sea area is also marked on it. DWA is generally good, and the layout is good. There are rarely a group of people crowded together. The place feels small, but we still see a lot of animals.
The aquarium is not very big, but it is really fun. It is a very important aquarium facility. The aquarium is also a very large space with a rich variety of aquatic plants and animals. The tour route is also very good. I like coming here very much.
