Visit this astonishingly beautiful part of the Texas Gulf Coast and "reconnect with nature." Visitors can learn about our plant and animal inhabitants; bird-watch; hike on the Nature Center's trails; or view our live animal displays of snakes, spiders, hawks, and bison. Armand Bayou Nature Center (ABNC) is working to preserve the wetlands, prairie, forest, and marsh habitats surrounding Armand Bayou.

ABNC is the largest urban wilderness preserve in the U.S. and contains 2,500 acres of the natural wetlands, forest, prairie, and marsh habitats once abundant in the Houston/Galveston area. ABNC is home to over 370 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
