Rio Grande Nature Center State Park

"Friendly, helpful staff. The indoor viewing area was a pleasant surprise. It provided a comfortable climate controlled spectacular view of the wildlife. There are also multiple outdoor viewing areas and lovely walking and biking paths. Just bring cash for entry and be prepared to spend more time than you think."

"Had a 4th grade field trip for my daughter here. Super friendly staff, folks from Game and Fish were also there to teach the kids. They each got to release a silvery minnow into the Rio Grande River, so they thought it was awesome. The building and restrooms are nice, spacious, and clean. Good place for a hike along the Bosque, very peaceful and pretty."

"Decent little nature area in the city when it’s not too hot, but be aware of the rules if you are bringing dogs. The pay area at the entrance tells you “pets in designated areas only,” but once we had paid and parked we found another sign forbidding pets in and around the nature center. To find the “designated area,” you have to actually exit the park and walk down the bike path to the south. They should really have a sign about this right at the pay station. They also increased the fee to $5 per vehicle."
