About this adventure
As one of the largest urban wilderness preserves in the United States, Armand Bayou Nature Center encompasses 2,500 acres of coastal tallgrass prairie, estuarine bayou, and forest in Pasadena. Winter is prime time for the center's famous 'Bayou Cruise'—a heated, guided pontoon boat safari navigating through quiet waters teeming with overwintering waterbirds and basking alligators. On land, families can explore 5 miles of walking trails, view grazing American bison in the prairie pasture, and visit the historic 1895 Martyn Farm with live barnyard heritage animals.
