Armand Bayou Nature Center

Honestly, this place is such a hidden gem. It’s crazy that it’s right here in the city because you feel like you're miles away. The trails are well-maintained and super easy to walk. We saw some alligators and lots of birds. Great spot to just clear your head and get some fresh air. Definitely coming back.

Such a cool place! Doesn’t even feel like it’s in a city, it’s so quiet and peaceful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The trails are easily walkable and the wildlife exhibits are awesome and well maintained, it’s very apparent they take pride in their work. I’d recommend coming earlier in the day to take full advantage of all the walking trails. I will definitely be back!

I have lived in the area and never knew about the pontoon boat nature tours. It was great! Easily accessible, reasonably priced, educational and relaxing! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and binoculars furnished. In addition, Captain Charlie provided a safe trip in the comfortable pontoon boat. Saw lots of beautiful birds, alligators etc.

Had a really great outing. The volunteers are very informative and friendly! There was so much animal activity. There’s plenty to learn about and see that we ran out of time. I look forward to coming back for the platoon tour!
