What an amazing place to spend some time in San Angelo. See the bobcats, lemur, raccoons, prarie dogs and many more. If you are a snake person t his is a must see. The San Angelo Nature center is one of the few places that can import species from Mexico. DON'T MISS THIS JEWEL hidden out by Lake Nasworthy.
Great place to visit. Knowledgeable and friendly staff! Animals are happy and those nonvenemous are handled by staff. Some animals can be on request petted. Great for Boy and Girl Scout Troops. Great admission fee 12 and under $2 a person, 13 and over $3 a person.
all displays, info easy to undestand not boring , most enjoyable and you could take your time just browsing at all the exhibits.
My husband has donated to this Nature Center based on the quality of care they give the animals. You can truly see that they are interested in their well being and also to teach everyone about each species. My granddaughter and grandson actually had their birthday parties here and the other children loved it. It is such a great learning experience for everyone!
I went to the Nature Center with my daughter and my 4 grandchildren visiting from out of state. We loved it and they enjoyed holding a few of the animals and seeing so many neat ones from the area and other parts of the world. It was worth the time!!
This entertained our family from young to near senior. The staff was very informative and friendly and cared about the animals. I especially liked Baby the prairie dog and was so glad I got to pet her!
Relative to other things to do in San Angelo this gets a higher rating, but for a city slicker like me, there's not much to it. They are very passionate about sharing the animals with visitors and do a lot of educational outreach with the local schools. Kudos for that!
Beautiful location. The Saturday I visited a number of youthful and knowledgeable volunteers were doing an excellent showing the animals to visitors and letting children see the animals up close. There are exhibits on mammals, reptiles, amphibian, fish, buttterflies,shells insects, etc. both native to Texas and from other parts of the world. Very fascinating. I thought the animals all seemed healthy and well cared for and cages were very clean. Larger mammals and a one mile interpretive trail (not wheelchair or stroller accessible as it is narrow) are outside. A brochure telling about the 20 interpretative sites on the trail is available at the front desk. Closed Sunday and Mondays.
We loved this place. It is very interesting and the nature specialist let us pet a snake, a prairie dog, a turtle and some other animals. She is really nice. We loved it. It is located just on the site of the lake where there is a very nice view.
Pretty nice place I felt kind of bad for some of the animals but for San Angelo it was overall a nice experience.
