Children's Aquarium at Fair Park, Public aquarium in Fair Park, Dallas, US

The Children's Aquarium at Fair Park is a public aquarium in Dallas with six exhibit areas. The Freshwater Zone displays red-eared sliders, an alligator snapping turtle, longnose gars, electric eels and an axolotl. The Intertidal Zone, in the center, holds lined seahorses, upside-down jellyfish and archerfish, plus a tank of red garra. The Shore, Near Shore and Offshore zones lead to Stingray Bay, where visitors feed and pet cownose rays.

The Children's Aquarium at Fair Park opened in 1936 as part of the Texas Centennial Exposition, making it the first public aquarium in Texas. It was renovated in 2010 at a cost of $8 million. After closing during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was bought by the ZoOceanarium Group on July 23, 2021, and reopened on September 24, 2021 with new exhibits.

The aquarium runs birthday and overnight parties that include a talk by staff with a live animal and preserved marine specimens, and party guests can feed the rays at Stingray Bay. It also hosts summer and winter day camps for children from pre-K through grade 5, and many school field trips visit the exhibits.

The aquarium occupies a building in Fair Park, the Dallas site of the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition. Its six exhibit areas run from the Freshwater Zone through the Intertidal Zone at the centre to the Shore, Near Shore and Offshore zones, ending at Stingray Bay, where guests can feed and pet cownose rays and use a touch tank with starfish, sea urchins and horseshoe crabs.

A special area is the Stingray Bay, an outdoor covered pavilion where visitors can touch stingrays. Cownose rays, southern stingrays, zebra sharks, and Mahi-mahi swim there and guests can handle them directly.
