What an awesome deal. During 2020 COVID hell, this was the happiest day we've had in ... a while…read more I saw All About Animals somewhat randomly on Groupon, and it piqued my interest immediately. We'd been trying to figure out what to do for both kids' birthdays this summer with the no-normal-parties bummer going on. Maybe we could do a masked-up animal show n tell on the back patio...? So I called Cindi (owner of All About Animals) after reading up on her website. She was generally doing online only stuff and was NOT doing birthday parties. I totally understood, I said - we weren't about to have a bunch of kids over right now. But would she do a "private" show n tell for just our 4-person family? She would. Score! Outdoors is too hot for some of the animals during the Texas summer, so we set up inside, with a table for her and 4 chairs facing the table, about 8-10' away. The agreement was she'd be masked up the entire time and so would we. She also left her shoes at the door, which we didn't even ask her to do. The kids loved it. We loved it. It was... just perfect. We picked 10 critters and geared it towards ones we could touch and often hold. The pictures don't show all 10, but dude... it was just awesome. Fun AND highly educational. If you're an animal person AND can be safe and respectful during this time, I HIGHLY recommend this. The kids were immediately asking when the next time Ms Cindi could come over again with her animals. Just... awesome!

There is a ton of shade to walk under. The animal enclosures are large and spacious. We hit it with perfect timing right when the zoo opened at 10 am so most animals were active right after their morning feedings. There are interactive talks at the exhibits scheduled throughout the day. It is not quite as random as at smaller zoos where you might stumble across a team member willing to share their passion about one of the animals. There is some ongoing construction so you have to double back on the route. The food they had was very good and affordable for a large tourist attraction. Would definitely return!

Very fun for my kids and that's all that mattered. Well kept aquariums and lots of creatures that you don't normally see at other aquariums such as a huge manatee lol. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Lots of parking in a broken down parking lot. Make sure to scan the QR code on your phone to secure your parking pass so you don't get towed. The whole exhibit ranges from 2-3hrs depending on how much you read and walk. If you can do it within 2hrs then purchase the cheapest parking timeframe.

It always surprises me how many animals and reptiles are kept here. Although I expected it to be super crammed and uncomfortable during the break, all patrons were calm and respectful and the lines through the aquariums weren't bad at all. That being said, we arrived around 9:00am and so thankful we did because the line and the entrance was wrapped around the building by the time we finished our visit and headed back to the car. Be prepared to pay a pretty penny for tickets. But I truly think the experience is worth it.

I visited the Dallas Arboretum for the Hunt Slonem exhibit, and it's a total breath of fresh air!…read moreIf you want a whimsical stroll or the perfect Instagram spot, this is it. The "Bunnies, Birds & Butterflies" sculptures are scattered beautifully throughout the gardens. Slonem's bold, colorful style translates perfectly into 3D--the giant bronze bunnies are endearing, and the butterflies look ready to take flight. Highlights: Kid-Friendly: My little ones loved "hunting" for the sculptures. Stunning Views: Every angle is a winner with the lake backdrop. Seamless Art: The pieces complement the landscape perfectly.

I especially loved the turtle stations I think kids around 6-10 would really enjoy that part. My toddler was fascinated by the jellyfish tank. The different lighting they used made the jellyfish look really beautiful and almost magical. The tunnel was definitely the star of the show and a great photo opportunity. Toward the end, you can even touch some starfish, which was a fun hands-on moment. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and overall it was a great experience. It's conveniently located inside Grapevine Mills, which makes it easy to add to a shopping or family day out. We went on a weekday. Which was PERFECT no crowds at all. Overall, a fun outing especially for younger kids.

I love the round tanks because that allows for multiple families to see the same fishes without having to wait for each other. We saw sharks, turtles, pufferfishes, lionfishes, eels, seahorses, jellyfishes, and much more. Our favorite part was the fish tunnels - you can see fishes swimming all around you, including at the bottom of your feet. They kept the glass pretty clean, so you can see everything clearly. FYI: There's no opportunity to pet any of the marine creatures. They have hand sanitizer dispensers throughout to promote hand hygiene. The place is located in the mall next to Legoland. I would purchase tickets ahead of time to save money. It can get pretty stuffy and crowded on the weekends, so timing matters if you're looking for a more comfortable experience.

He especially loved feeding the giraffes and the budgies. One of the budgies flew up on my husband's head and just stayed there. The buffalo was a little scary to him when it decided to take the whole bucket of food and ripped it out of my husband's hand but it was all okay. The grounds are nice and clean and the staff was very friendly and kind. It is a little pricey but when you think of all that goes in to keeping these animals and how educational it is, it is well worth it. We spent 4 hours there and my grandson wants to go back. A big thumbs up!
