Children’s Aquarium Dallas, a beloved family-friendly destination in the heart of Dallas, Texas, offers visitors exciting hands-on experiences with marine life and knowledge about the fascinating underwater world of our oceans. The aquarium is recognized nationally for its education-first approach, attracting visitors from across Texas and beyond. By providing visitors with an accessible and engaging experience, Children’s Aquarium Dallas has become the perfect cultural excursion for all ages.

In 2024, POLA Marketing partnered with Children’s Aquarium Dallas to design a new website that reflects the committed spirit of the aquarium’s personnel while enhancing the website’s digital presence, making it easier than ever for families to plan their visits and connect with the aquarium’s culturally significant offerings.

Recognizing the importance of a flawless experience for on-the-go trip planning, POLA’s team designed the new website with a mobile-first approach. POLA Marketing worked closely with the aquarium’s personnel to ensure the design highlighted the aquarium’s palpable exhibits.

Through exciting high-quality imagery of marine life and unique design elements, the aquarium’s new website has engaged visitors, encouraging them to explore all the aquarium’s offerings online. Moreover, search engine optimization (SEO) was a major component of the redesign, ensuring the website is able to reach new audiences organically. By incorporating stunning visuals with strategic keyword optimization, POLA’s team increased the aquarium’s online visibility and organic traffic, helping more families discover the important cultural destination.

With the success of the website redesign, Children’s Aquarium Dallas now has a digital platform that mirrors its mission of championing curiosity and creating connections between people and marine life.
