South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center

One of the very best botanical gardens I’ve ever been to! It’s a great size that’s not overwhelming to walk through, with a couple of hiking trails to enjoy and a wide variety of plants in different ecosystems to learn about.

I did not expect them to have animals, it was a pleasant surprise. They all looked so happy and healthy, and the handlers were very responsible when taking them out to show and educate visitors.

Will definitely be returning again and highly recommend it for a day trip!

Wow! Let me start by saying this everything is reasonably priced and if you love the outdoors then you need to stop here! If you take all the trails it will take you several hours to complete the trail! There is so much to see, plus excellent resting areas! Bring water or buy some before venturing. There is plenty for kids to do so bring them as well! Will be going back every year!

SO MUCH MORE THAN FLOWERS! I am glad that the wife finally convinced me to go with her. We had a blast! The exotic birds and butterfly garden were my favorite parts. Will definitely be going back.

Wide open spaces, beautiful flowers and the tortious are beautiful

Great place to visit thank you staff was very nice
