It's a beautiful place (though a little unkept in certain areas). The employees are kind and very helpful. Would highly recommend visiting, especially when they have events!
Beautiful nature center with an interesting history. It used to be a dump, literally, until it was abandoned and eventually acquired by the city, which cleaned it up and turned it into a visitor center. You can see tons of different wildlife, walk the trails and spot great flora and mushrooms too. Lots of shade but bring a hat because there is lots of sun too. Parts of it get flooded or very muddy when it rains, and parking is plentiful. There is a gift shop and a small cafe. Restrooms are always clean. They have a classroom area where they have art or science classes on some weekends. Fun for the whole family, but no dogs allowed. Free entry but they recommend you reserve tickets online ahead of time due to limited entry.
Oh, City of Dallas, I'm so proud of you. This area of town was once.... a dump. But now it is stunningly gorgeous. Wood pathways to walk in and out of the native trees, flora and fauna. Such a peaceful, tranquil place. Includes small museum and gift shop. Staff at the front desk are well informed and friendly. This is a fabulous place.
This place is free of charge for admission until June 30th and is worth a visit. It can be quick or slower trails to walk on depending on your walking pace. The building is surrounded by nature; it’s worth a visit if you’re out there.
Friendly staff, well marked, quiet trails, flowers, birds, snakes, and turtles. That’s what we saw! Super beautiful and relaxing. Bathrooms inside and out. They close early so check hours before you head out.
Absolutely amazing place! They were having a big event so i was unable to look at all of the cool stuff inside but the trails are stunning! Due to lack of rain, a lot of the ponds were empty or low, but that didn’t take away from it
The Trinity River Audubon Center was a fantastic spot for photographing a wedding. The proximity to downtown is great for if you have guests traveling in and the Boxwood Team who handles the events were one of our favorite groups ever.
A great place to see lots of birds (spoiler alert, this is the Audubon Center), butterflies, and marshy wildlife. The trails are well marked and maintained, and there's a few shacks available for birding if that's your thing. If not, bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the 2-3ish miles of trails with prairie and pond views.
