Review of my son s 5 year old birthday party. The pavilion and surrounding is amazing, feels so natural. Just pull some banners and table cloths your party will be ready! (No balloons allowed) The reptile program was really educational, fun and eye opening. Eric made it fun and full of knowledge, there s even a real snake to pet. Nobody has bothered us for the whole time that we feel exclusive of the whole area, peaceful and joyful!

Visited the center during a birthday party hosted by NDC. This included a tour of the building. A good place to chill and is a hidden gem tucked away behind the trees. Some live animals for petting and bird viewing for those who are interested.

This place is sooo fun! It s free to tour the discovery room s Tuesday-Thursday from 10-12 & 4-6. My kids absolutely loved this place. All of the staff are volunteer based and sooo knowledgeable. They were patient with my children taking the time to take each animal out of its cage and answer all 100 questions my kids had! Haha! If you have kids who love bugs, snakes, lizards and more you gotta go check this place out. I learned just as much as my kids about how each animal lived, ate, and likes/dislikes. There are crafts, books to read, and toys to play with. You are sure to have a great time visiting this wonderful little place! Follow us on Instagram & Facebook sc_crew_family

The place is shaded, limited free parking. There are short trails, very toddler friendly. The birthday package is only for members. However, the birthday package will come with guided tours, a brief exciting demonstration with wild animals. They also have Pumpkin Patch events every year, which are well organized and playful.

Went to the fall/Halloween Event they had... Seemed horribly disorganized and chaotic. Way to sneak an area to pack that many people into, everything trying to happen in one place at the same time. Lots of times you couldnt even walk down the paths.

Great place to bring children or even just stroll on your own. Theres a park on one side and if you cross the street youll walk through about a block of wooded area with various pathways and benches before reaching the nature discover center. Small but beautiful.

Great little nature center and there sre lots of animals in this park and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Its amazing just how much nature (animals snd plants) you can find and see in this little urban oasis. Love just going by to walk around in the nature area to see what animals and insects you and the kids can find. Other than traffic noise hard to believe youre in the middle of one of the largest urban cities in the US.

Great place to let kids explore nature material, read books animals, engage in pretend play with puppets and see live animals. Programs for kids w Mr.Erik are amazing - entertaining and educational not just for kids but adults as well. We drive from sugar land and it is well worth the 30 minute drive. My daughter also loves the playground outside on the other side of the park - it s got sandbox, pond and slides.
