Relative to other things to do in San Angelo this gets a higher rating, but for a city slicker like me, there's not much to it. They are very passionate about sharing the animals with visitors and do a lot of educational outreach with the local schools. Kudos for that!

My grandson had his birthday party here last year along with a friend whose birthday was the day before his. The staff do an awesome job in making it a fun time for all the kids involved.

Not at all what we expected. It's just a small building. Didn't open till noon. Inside is like a classroom setting with a large table and chairs all around. Probably just a presentation of bugs and animals in jars as described by others.

The San Angelo Nature Center is full of fun and exciting animals, reptiles, amphibians and the list goes on and on. Many of the citizens of San Angelo don't know what a extremely wonderful nature center they have in their own city. The expertise and knowledge of the staff is outstanding.
