Guests can hike, view live exhibits, bird watch and go on guided boat and canoe tours. The facility also features an education center, where guests can learn about the center’s animal inhabitants and view live animal displays of snakes, alligators, turtles, hawks and bison.
Finally, guests can visit the center’s Martyn Farm, which will take them back in time to late 1800s farm life in Texas.
