August Dollar Days at the Trinity River Audubon Center - Dallas

It’s hot. We all know that. It’s summer time in Texas. But that doesn’t mean you can’t
have fun outdoors. And, the Trinity River Audubon Center makes it even easier to do so
by reducing admission fees to only $1 – anytime, all the time, during August!
 
That’s right, all admission fees are reduced to $1 for the entire month. It doesn’t matter
whether you’re an adult, child, or senior. Whether you’re here to hike, study the exhibit
hall, or go birding. Your admission fee is ONLY $1. Any day, any time!
 
And, it’s a great time to take advantage. Why? Because the Center offers a little bit of
everything for the whole family. Like a little exercise – come hike our 4 – 5 miles of
trails. While you’re hiking, learn a bit about your local environment – the Great Trinity
Forest, the Trinity River, the Blackland prairie, and more. 
 
Want to enjoy the cool indoors? Then explore our exhibit hall and examine turtles, fish,
and bullfrogs. Listen to bird calls, discover the power of water, and study the history of
