Austin Nature and Science Center
(Sights & Activities - Museums)
301 Nature Center Dr
Austin TX 78746
512-327-8181
Description:
BARTON SPRINGS DISTRICT. Sort of a combination museum, zoo and park, the Austin Nature and Science Center is a must-see. Located at the edge of Zilker Park, the center features several native Texas animals such as porcupines, coyotes, snakes and owls; science labs where kids can learn more about the natural world; and a fun "eco-detective" trail. But the center's crowning glory is its unique Dino Pit exhibit, a fantastic hands-on exhibit where kids can dig for fossils (reproductions of actual fossils found in Texas) and compare dino trackways.
Hours:
Mon-Sat 9am-5pm; Sun Noon-5pm
