Beautiful park. Trails slightly confusing, but a little wandering is good for the soul. Visitor center is almost too big, but quite nice.

Easy to park. Interesting buildings. Good views. Some displays inside. The trails we took were ok but didnt get into the wilderness. Would go back.

You can walk on raised structures or hike along the Trinity River at this beautiful retreat. The trails were clearly marked and well maintained and although we were warned about the possibility of snakes, we didnt see any although we saw and heard lots of birds. Best to get there early or in the afternoon because it was hot on the June afternoon we visited. I would also bring some insect spray since the many water areas attracted mosquitoes. Parking was free but there was an admission charge.We decided to return during the winter and it was easier to see some of the birds because the trees had lost their leaves. Water levels were way lower and no flowering plants. Maybe the next trip shall be in spring.

Very peaceful and not very many people on a weekday.

Quiet place to take in nature. Interesting architecture, friendly staff and about 2 miles of gravel trails.

Dallas is not exactly known for its nature, but the Audubon Center is a natural gem right outside the city. Come for a visit and walk through the wetland habitats. Try to spot as many birds as you can, and maybe even a turtle or too! A fun place to go relax for a couple hours away from the city.

The nature preserve is very nice. But nothing special. The entry fee is $6 per person and they don’t even have an open area for a sit down picnic on the river.The closest spot was still so far from the body of water that you can barely see anything.The building itself is definitely a work of art and seemed like a lovely venue for a wedding.However, we will not be coming back as the entry fee in so expensive for a family of 4 that it’s not even worth the trouble.We can have a picnic somewhere else

We had an enjoyable time here. Sadly being so late in the season means the vegetation is dead. Still enjoyable trails. Would not recommend to go during the winter months though.

6/18/20 According to their voice menu, the entire property is completely closed through at least June 30th because of covid-19. The recording even mentions if you access the trails or enter the property in any way, you could be charged with criminal trespass.

Wonderful serene escape in the middle of the city. Great family-friendly hiking trails (easy for children to walk) and an engaging educational center to inform visitors about how the Audubon Center came to exist. Once you visit youll be sorry you didnt visit sooner. Best bird-watching happens in the early morning. Staff is friendly and well-informed.

Enjoyed walking the trail. Worked out great with a stroller. We saw butterflys, lizards, & turtles. Beautiful!

A really neat getaway from civilization for a bit to see how Nature takes care of itself. Easy hiking and interesting artifacts to enjoy. Take your good camera.

This site is a great place to take a break, get out and enjoy nature without traveling out of town. Its especially amazing to thinking about and experience when you learn the history of the site as an illegal dumping ground. The trails are all well marked and in great shape, even despite all the rain the area had been having. None of them were too difficult either. It was a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

Beautiful little slice of nature near Dallas. Wildlife, birds chirping, and wonderful Texas wild flowers abound.

This place is perfect for bringing children because the paths are not too strenuous, the wildlife is awesome, and the views are beautiful! Love to come here with my family.

$6 per adult. Theres also a Groupon for bird watching and a season pass. Bring old shoes as it was muddy. Pretty place. Great for newbie. Paths arent wheelchair accessible except right at beginning.

Great place to walk around for a few hours. Take your time and keep your eyes and ears open. Saw a great white egret and a blue heron in the ponds, some hawks soaring high, and what I think was a red tanager that darted out of the trees in a flash.

Serene and lovely... Peaceful walking paths and a beautiful restoration of 120 acres formerly used for illegal, commercial dumping. The modern architecture is stunning, as well!

Very educational for all ages.

I sat on the panel for the Exxon Mobil Green team when this facility first opened, we discussed the impact that this place would make, and it has delivered! In more ways than one, I loved the bike trails, the view, it is truly a gem in the southern sector. They have bike rentals at the start of the trail, deer running,hiking trails, blue heron and red owls flying. Just absolutely beautiful.

We went in an hour before closing but the front desk girl was really sweet and gave us tips for the scenic route and the quick route

Great place for bird watching. Also saw some Gar fish in the river. Trails are laid out well. Good information in the visitors center. Plenty of tables are available, but bring your own food. Only snacks available.

It was a great place to visit. Definitely recommend taking sun screen and bug spray. The trails are nicely marked. Before starting the trail there was a sign with possible sightings of snakes, hogs, and coyotes. Luckily everything went smoothly! Definitely recommend if you like bird watching or just love the wilderness :) This is not the place if you dont like bugs lol

Gray place to see wildlife . Enjoyable day trip. Family oriented

Our family used a meeting room for a reunion, and the venue was perfect for all ages. Although it feels very secluded and remote, it is quite close to Loop 12 and highway175. Its a perfect place for hiking and enjoying nature. The employees are friendly and seem to really enjoy their jobs. Great for all ages.

Great place to walk the trails of wetlands, prairie, and the woods! Lots of different birds and wildflowers!

This place is a great little escape from the Dallas bubble! Trails are easy to follow and the exhibits teach a lot about the history of the site and science of the river and flood plains

This is my happy place. I love visiting and volu teering here!

A wonderful refuge from city life!

Most good raw place sight see

Awesome place to a explore nature period nice rest spots and a gift shop

I cannot believe I had not visited before. Inside the visitor center they were super kind and informative. My sister was in town doing a project for her landscape architecture program at college and the front desk lady talked with her for a while about not only the Audubon center but the community as a whole. Gave her many resources to contact. Outside, the trails were beautiful. So many birds to see and places to explore. They are doing an awesome job at restoring the space. Well done!

Beautiful space, trails and oasis from urban life, nicely tells stories of the Trinity River and Dallas.

Fun place to get out and explore some trails that lead to the river.

Beautiful scenery, lots to see, clean walk trails.

Great place for hiking, biking and enjoying the nature

This is a great place to get back into nature! Kids love it here!

The beautiful nature has been preserved well in this place. There is a lot to see in here such as birds, owl, trees, grass, and many more. The trails are clean, and the entry fee is reasonable. We will come back soon!

This was a lot of fun! I was able to see quite a few birds that we do not have in Georgia. However, when we went a couple paths were flooded or too muddy to walk on. I hope to return on my next trip to Texas.

Very educational. My son attended summer camp there and he enjoyed it. Said he wants to attend again.

Unfortunately, the park is not big enough. Dallas should give more space for the nature. You can still heard or see the cars.

Peaceful, quick walks, educational. Saw snakes on the trails, egrets, heron, and other native birds.

Great asset to have in Dallas! Lots of trails available and perfect for kids!

Awesome infrastructure. Surrounded by wetlands.

Wish I could have explored more while attending the wedding but will definitely make a trip back! Beautiful event and clean facilities.

Beautiful place. Lots of trails to hike.

A nice place to lose and find yourself at the same time.

Love this place. Fantastic short trails that make you feel like you’re hundreds of miles from the city and a beautiful wedding venue.

Very nice place to go visit. Bring a good camera.

I was working an event here, super friendly staff. It really made my job easier! Tha k you all!!!

Im sure as a hiking trail its beautiful. As a potential wedding venue, I would say be wary. I have reached out via email and phone, and not one response or returned phone call for the past week. Not sure how you even consider this place as an option with ZERO communication.

Hiking there is not as big as arbor hills or cedar ridge preserve. We went through all the paths in half hour or less.But its a beautiful place your can see Trinity River

Over priced!Brought 3 kids here and after bring charge entry fees all the exhibits where broken or just missing. There no reason to pay to hike. #freehike

Just found out about this place. Decided to visit while in Dallas. Building is very interesting. First thing after starting on the trails was a great white egret flying right by us!!

Beautiful location and building. Surrounded by natural beauty I attended a wedding here so I did not get to fully appreciate the area or the offerings, but I would go back without hesitation!

Great learning experience for the class field trip just wish they would have let them independently explore more.

Such a neat place right in Dallas! I have lived in the area my whole life and have never been here until today. Well maintained trails!

I went with my son on his school field trip as a chaperone. It was a light-rain type of day but the staff still tried to make the best of the situation with a large visiting shool and the weather. Aaysa was our teacher for the trip. She was knowledgeable and very nice with the children. Our school arrived about an hour late due to a tardy bus but we still had a fun time with a short outdoor walk and indoor activities. The staff was nice and helpful. I wish things that were out of our control (rain and bus) wouldve been different and let us explore more. We will have to visit as a family at a later date because there was much more we didnt get a chance to experience all the great activities and trails.

The owl prowl experience was great! I enjoyed going out into the forest at night and listening for owls. We got lucky on our Great Horned Owl call and heard Barred Owls responding. It was awesome and exciting. Afterwards we enjoyed a fire and roasted marshmallows.

Nice place. The girls were there for a field trip through the Perot Museum for part of the Junior Master Naturalist program.

If you want to take you and your kids too or walk in the park and to learn about the great habitats and the Beautiful olive oil its a lot of things you know about the Earth and so on and so on but I recommend you got to be a great to express for you to take you and your family

My husband and I were married at the Trinity River Audubon Center last year in April, and the experience was perfect. This place had the beauty and wildness, and eclectic feeling that we wanted, and the staff was enormously helpful. And, it was so affordable!The day was gorgeous, and our wedding outside on the extended porch was beautiful!!!Because it was a small wedding, our reception was in the all glass classroom at the peak of the building...gorgeous, too! I am so thankful we found the Audubon Center ,and will be returning to enjoy it for all of its other beauty for years.

Fantastic location. The nature is beautiful and the people are so kind. The wildlife in the area is plentiful. Will be back a million times more.

Some nice/short trails, but much less to see inside the buildings

Our family used a meeting room for a reunion, and the venue was perfect for all ages

A gem of nature, just ten minutes from my home. A birders delight during migration seasons. Thank you Dallas, I hope the city will continue to invest in this area.

Great place to relax and observe nature. They have a lot of walking trails, and theyre pretty easy. I had a 2-year-old with me and she kept up easily. The staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a great time. My only complaint is the way they do booking for groups. We didnt require any staff to lead us on the trails or teach a class or anything, yet we had to book well in advance, and they made us pay for members who ended up sick the day of and couldnt come.

Beautiful facility within the city. My friend held his wedding reception here and we had an amazing time. Great location, space, and scenic view for people who want to have events that leave an impression!

A wonderful jewel of grasslands, woods and nature trails. We really enjoyed our hike and bird class led by Nick. Thanks!

Great spot to take your kids for the day but also a unique date spot idea. Check out their events...

It has awesome trails

I love how my kids do not realize they are learning and doing science while they are here! There are also beautiful natural scenery and walks and we love taking advantage of the programs and special events out there.

Nice place for a walk through nature, lots of different paths to hike, trails are well maintained and staff is helpful. Theres a small collection of indoor exhibits as well, but unfortunately the two largest interactive exhibits were both out of order. Kind of disappointing considering this place is only a few years old.

Good break from the city! No food, bring lunch for perfect picnic

Roxanne is the best! She is incredibly kind and thoughtful and she made my experience fantastic! Thank you, Roxanne!

Great experience early morning bird watching.

Its a educational place to visit especially for kids. They have a souvenir store too.

Went here for a wedding...amazing

Staff is very friendly, nice place to hike and nice place to rent out for an event.

Closes at 3:00 on a Saturday. What a disgrace.

This is my Oasis from the city. I advise staying on the Audubon side of the the trail. The trail is broken into 3 parts. The first or last half the side connected to (Joppa Preserve) connected to a park and picinc area should be avoided. The 2nd half is the wetlands. Opening to a pond and plain. Plenty of birds, insects, and yes snakes. The entrance to the trail closest to the Audubon center is my favorite. The trail takes you through tress with bends and bridges. Spiders and other insects pop out at you. I prefer this trail it provides shade and is the longest of the three parts

Nice place to take a nature walk and learn a bit about birds and the Trinity river

Even on a hot day, walking on the trails was great, and inside they had a gift shop with books all of my kids wanted to read. Along with that, they had small exhibits and play areas. It was tons of fun for only 1 dollar a person, I defenitly recommend it for a good outing.

Very beautiful place to learn about the Trinity River and how it contributes as a lifeline to Dallas. A little out of the way from the city, but if you love hydrology it is worth a visit. If not, I probably wouldnt come all the way out here.

This is a hidden gem for those who find it. You can find nice trails for a small fee

Nice nature spot for and butterfly watchAlso great place for wedding venues

We went for the owl prowl. VERY cool. Learned about the owls in a classroom setting, then walked out into the woods in the dark to call and listen to them respond. It was awesome to hear them responding! Afterwards, we came back to a campfire and smores! Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful place to visit nature and get away, but not too far away from the city hustle and bustle. I visited for a yoga event. We went on a nature hike surrounded by so much beauty! Ill be visiting again.

Its nice to see this kind of Trinity River..a must see! We thoroughly enjoyed it

Family fun places

Really cool off the beaten path kind of place. I have spent little time there and plan to go again soon and get a better feel and experience the things they offer.

Great nature center with a lot of trail options. Love to explore.

Beautiful facility! Realy looking forwardto returning and exploring the trails. This is also a great spot to bring the kids. Lots to learn and plenty to see. Tons of bird species. Very nice place.

Nice facility, wetlands, trails, river ride tour.

Kids attended a summer camp. The camp was awesome but I cant review the center. Gave 4 stars because parking is a pain and the building could use signed saying this way to entrance. We had no idea where to go.

Booked thr guided kayak trip down thr river, had a great time, saw some awesome wildlife, the 2 guides did a great job.

Beautiful place, I highly recommend attending. The receptionists are really nice!

Beautiful venue I love photographing weddings and engagements there

Had so much fun! They took the time to answer all of my questions!

Nephews wedding...remarkable place.
