Description

A trip to The Dallas World Aquarium can be a simple education experience or an in-depth study of the habitat, conservation, distribution, anatomy, reproduction and behavioral/structural adaptations of plants and animals. Gift Shops are located in the aquarium, near the penguin exhibit, the Jungle Cafe and near admissions. The dining and event areas available at The Dallas World Aquarium allow for a multitude of culinary experiences. Four areas with three complete commercial kitchens, two restaurants (eighteen-O-one and Cafe Maya) and three bars are located throughout the facility. Banquet facilities can oblige up to 800 people for a seated dinner and 1800 for an information function; yet the setting is comfortable for intimate private luncheons, corporate breakfast meetings or formal evening dinners. Catering services are provided by expert in-house staff, with attention to detail and creativity in presentation, cuisine, and service from Daryl's By Design.
