Review:
The Austin Nature and Science Center is located in Northwest Zilker Park where it offers a free educational and fun playground for children of all ages. The interesting Visitor’s Center is a good place to start your visit; here children will see a life-size stuffed Black Bear and can have a good poke around the shells, bones and other animal specimens in the Naturalist’s Shop. Outside the Visitor’s Center you will find a variety of orphaned or abandoned wild animals and birds (possibly including bobcat, raccoon, porcupine and owls), and the Small Wonders exhibit filled with reptiles. Younger kids will love the Eco Detective Trail and the Dino Pit where they can dig for fossils.
