I’m a giant animal-lover. Why not? Animals are cute, interesting, and fascinating to research. And if you’re not looking to go to a crowded zoo during Covid, where else are you supposed to turn? Aquariums aren’t always about fish. Sometimes, they’re great places to find rare exotic animals that you would not normally see on display. And you won’t find it anyplace better than at the Dallas World Aquarium. This beautiful aquarium showcases all the rarest and most exotic of animals from across the world. Their wide selection of animals includes an exploration of different ecosystems, featuring many incredible creatures such as tamarins, turtles, sea mammals, rare birds, tropical fish, and more!  The Dallas World Aquarium seeks to provide guests with an informative look at the many wonderful species that inhabit our world, driving for more education on conservation and preserving habitats.

Earth Day is a pretty underrated holiday. I’m not a tree-hugger but I definitely think that our planet is very important to our survival, especially when it comes to the care of trees and our ecosystem. While we all really do need to be environmentally conscious and mindful of taking care of our environment, that doesn’t mean that Earth Day can’t be a fun holiday as well, especially for Houston residents! On Saturday, April 24th, and Sunday, April 25th, Houston is celebrating Earth Day in style with its lively Earth Day festival! This day-long celebration will feature live music you won’t want to miss, providing guests with a wide selection of genres including funk, soul, reggae, Latin rock, hip-hop, R&B, and more!  If you’re looking for something to do during the weekend with your kids, look no further! It’s posed to be a very family-friendly event with FREE admission to all kids 12 and under. Not to mention it’s also a BYO beer/liquor event for those of you who love to party....
