Things to do / Travel Guide
Texas is home to some famous botanical gardens. Each of them has its own character, and specialize to different extents in the flora of Texas.
Moody Gardens
Moody Gardens is as much a family tourist destination as it is a botanical garden. Located in Galveston and owned by the city, Moody Gardens is an ultra-modern complex, with three huge pyramids. One is an aquarium, one is a fully enclosed jungle habitat, and the other is a museum with exhibits and educational films, including an IMAX theater. There is also a complete artificial beach.
Corpus Christi Botanical Gardens and Nature Center
The Corpus Christi Botanical Gardens and Nature Center includes several gardens that reflect native flora, as well as tropical planes. The nature center protects the wetlands and provides visitors with a close-up view of the wetland ecosystem. The highlight of the wildlife here is certainly the birds and the gardens were designed with trails designed with bird watching in mind.
Zilker Botanical Garden
The City of Austin owns and runs the Zilker Botanical Garden, home to multiple gardens and trails. Highlights include the Taniguchi Oriental Garden and the dinosaur tracks in the Prehistoric Garden.
