"Bouncy Fun!"
Took my 3 kids here for a birthday party and they LOVED it! We've been to a handful of other inflatable jump places and this one seems to have a bit more oomph but is smaller in size than the rest.

A few initial thoughts from my first visit:
1. The place is quite small so it's a little easier to keep track of the kids
2. Fun for crawlers and cruisers since there is a padded open area in the front as well as a book room with giant legos, puzzles and such.
3. Some different inflatables that I hadn't seen before, one in the back had a rope ladder hanging over it. Pretty fun!

The missing star is for the price. I feel like it is a little more than the other places we usually go to but the location is also a bit more central.

All in all a fun place that will go on my list of places to take the kids when the Texas heat becomes too much for us!

"Something for Everyone!!"
We love, love going here all the time! Great place to take the whole family since there's something for everyone!

Wednesday nights are Kids eat Free and there is always the free snack section for the kids to pick a treat from everyday (you just have to deal with having them only walk away with only one!). Different types of food for everyone, pizza & calzones, ribs & home cookin', the deli, bbq, seafood, bakery, cheese...endless!

On top of the store is a playground for younger children with lots of seating and space for older kids to hang out and run around. In the wintertime they have a ice rink through the beginning of new years!!

Love this place and always go when we have friends from out of town!

"Loved it!"
Very surprised to find the huge aquarium in the downtown area of Dallas. Felt like a real rain forest area once you first walk in with beautiful colorful birds flying everywhere. Loved it because there were animals and fish at every turn. In one area your looking at the top of what appears to be a pond with geese and ducks swimming in it and you can make out the occasional fish, but later find out that pond has an aquarium view to it and you can see manitees, turtles and huge fish swimming in it. It was a great experience for us and we would return.

"Fun Family Outing!"
This place was a lot of fun. We spent a few hours exploring all the exhibits and really had a good time. The dinosaurs and fossils were a lot of fun to look at and see how big they were. They even had a huge turtle looking creature from that period that was really neat. My boy loved that! Overall a good place to spend an afternoon.

"Average"
If you've been to the San Diego Zoo, don't bother going here. It's not even comparable. However, I'd say this zoo is worth visiting if you are 1) in a some sort of a time crunch or 2) want to stay in Dallas and not travel to the Fort Worth Zoo.

I went here in the morning for a few hours and it was quite nice. It's a nice simple zoo with everything you would expect from a zoo. There were flamingos by the restaurant which was nice entertainment while eating. They also had tapirs which was pretty exciting.

I don't think I'll be back but it was pleasant.
