National Trails Day - Trail Hikes

Four Guided Trail Hikes will depart from the Science Center at 10 am, 11 am, 12 pm and 1 pm in celebration of National Trails Day. RSVP for one of the hikes by calling 817.860.6752. Trail is not stroller friendly.

Off the Beaten Path: Summer is not typically the most desired time to go hiking in North Central Texas. However, if you prepare in advance with cooler clothes, water and a shaded trail, you can enjoy an excursion.

We have a path where you will be completely covered with shade and it is a trail that gets overlooked all the time. Join us and discover this hidden treasure that is off the beaten path.

$5 (with paid admission)/MEMBERS FREE.

Evening Stroll With a Naturalist: Come and enjoy an evening stroll on the Nature Center’s trails as we explore nature before nightfall.

Evening provides a unique opportunity to view animals that make the Nature Center home. Bring water and wear weather appropriate  clothing.

Pre-registration required. $10 (includes admission fee)/MEMBERS $5.

For more information or to register by phone, call 817-392-7410.
