Local serene nature gem south of downtown! Great for toddlers and preschoolers. Many local elementary schools tour during the week. Points of interest are the visitor center with a small cave, carbon atoms, and other natural artifacts one can experience hands-on, small wonders building has native Texan animals such as a Texas rat snake or tarantulas, birds of prey area has various owls, hawks, and vultures. Walk around the pond to the Dino pit where children can uncover Dino bone replicas. Last but not least, there are about 10-15 caged animals which have been injured and can an not return to the wild and include a gray fox, prairie dog, Bob cat, Cara cara, Raven, mallard ducks, raccoon, and porcupine. Can easily stay for a 2 hour stint.

Cool place to bring the little one to learn and enjoy. They have some birds of prey, owls, and even a bobcat in enclosures along with some other animals (alive and here because they were injured in some way and wouldn't survive in the wild). Though the stuffed black bear was probably the favorite...
