Austin State Park on the Brazos River. The topic changes from week to week depending on what nature offers — wildlife sightings, seasonal plants, animal tracks and traces, forest ecology — and children are encouraged to ask questions along the way. The walk lasts about an hour from the amphitheater, a comfortable length for school-age kids and for preschoolers who are used to walking. Bring comfortable hiking shoes, water, sunscreen and insect spray, and dress for the weather; the walk is included with park admission. ## Similar picks in Houston - [Rise of the Wild Prairie Guided Hike — Galveston Island State Park](https://grassyknees.com/houston/activities/rise-of-the-wild-prairie-guided-hike-galveston-island-state-park--listing-014186c5a7b5bb6013110c17) — Sun, Nov 15 (+1 more date) · 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM · Galveston Island State Park — Nature Center · With admission · checked Oct 20.
