South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center - Corpus Christi, Texas

Hermann Haas

Ein sehr interessanter Ort, der Zeitpunkt meines Besuches war sicher nicht der Beste. Aber ich war eben nur zu dieser Zeit in Corpus Christi.
Meine Eindrücke waren trotzdem stark, wo gibt es in einem botanischen Garten schon die Möglichkeit diverse Pflanzen in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung zu sehen. Sowie auch nach Arten geordnet in verschiedenen Flächen aufgeteilt.
Auch die Orchideen Zucht und Sammlung ist von einer außerordentlichen Größe, aber auch umwerfend schön und interessant.
Nebenbei sind auch noch verschiedene Tiere zu sehen.
Der Besuch hat sich jedenfalls gelohnt.

Small museum about island wildlife. Some captive tortoises, alligators and birds to view. Long boardwalk for some nice birdwatching and maybe other critter viewing. Definitely go on a nice day but not on a hot day. You will be in the sun the whole walk. Finish by going up to the viewing tower for a few minutes.

The reptiles are so gentle! I like they have a nice and naughty list maybe there is a Santa there and the plants there are so pretty! Also the decorations or what u call them stand out and the parrots look so unique I would give this 5/8

Fun place for kids to see butterflies, orchids, and an interactive session with a ball python, a tortise, and a giant lizard. There's a small playground with swings, a tree house, and a slide. Its a beautiful experience. There's a gift shop which sells t-shirts that go from white to color in the sun. I recommend a visit to this place when visiting Corpus Christi.

This place was awesome! I loved this little garden as a stop on my way back home. They have a good variety of showcases for their garden as well as their admirable animals that they take care of!

I got to hold a really amazing and beautiful corn snake for the first time which ultimately topped off my experience. I would definitely come here again just to spend a calm and peaceful day.

the staff is very nice and welcoming but i’m giving it 3 stars because most of the animals weren’t in it’s enclosures besides the reptiles. there was no other birds and there was barely any butterflies in the butterfly garden. some of the plants looked liked they were dying from the heat and drying out especially in the building where the orchids are, almost all of those plants were dead when i went. but the staff allowed us to feed tango the parrot and hold pablo the snake which was amazing and scary lol.

I loved it! Please you got to see the orchids! Or maybe the butterfly garden! Or touch some of the critters!if you feel inclined u can even sponsor some of the animals, or purchase plants! That include some orchids!

This is a beautiful place, which is dog friendly in most areas. Make sure to bring bug spray, as the gator pond is a haven for monster sized mosquitos. The butterfly experience was absolutely magical and we had so much fun browsing the gift shop! It was a fantastic afternoon treat!
