## About

Located just 30 miles northwest of San Antonio in historic Boerne, the Cibolo Center for Conservation protects 160 acres of pristine Texas Hill Country across four distinct ecosystems: cypress-lined creek, tallgrass prairie, spring-fed marsh, and oak woodland. Over Thanksgiving week, families can stroll along scenic boardwalks over Cibolo Creek, skip stones on shallow limestone beaches, and search for fossilized dinosaur tracks along the riverbed. Children love exploring the historic 1850s Herff Farmstead, inspecting pollinator gardens, and hiking through golden autumnal prairie grasses.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Elevated wooden boardwalks and main trails are stroller friendly; all-terrain strollers recommended for outer woodland dirt trails.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Visitor Center features modern restrooms, drinking fountains, and rocking chairs on the shaded porch overlooking the native gardens.
• Age Suitability: Wonderful for toddlers, school-age kids, and nature enthusiasts of all generations.
• Sensory Tips: Peaceful natural soundscape dominated by rushing creek water, rustling leaves, and native birds; ideal calming environment.
