Armand Bayou Nature Center | Kids Out and About Houston

Armand Bayou Nature Center

From fields of waving prairie grasses to forested wetlands to unspoiled bayous, Armand Bayou Nature Center (ABNC) is a place like no other. At the crossroads of three vulnerable gulf coast ecosystems, ABNC protects and restores 3,000 acres of rich ecological habitat. Conveniently located, ABNC offers over 5 miles of hiking trails, an Environmental Learning Center with many animal ambassadors, an interactive Discovery Trail, a bison viewing platform, and an authentic 1800s farm site. We also offer Kayak Tours, Pontoon Cruises, Guided Night Hikes, Children's EcoPrograms, and special events.
