Opossums & Popsicles | Kids Out and About Houston

Opossums & Popsicles

Chill out with some of the coolest critters around! Grab a frozen treat, enjoy a refreshing root beer (or regular beer) from Saint Arnold Brewing Company, and get up close and personal with live wild animals from Wildlife Center of Texas. You’ll learn all about Houston’s amazing urban wildlife – including opossums – and then you’ll go on a guided hike to enjoy a truly wild night out. Please dress for the weather and wear walking shoes.
