Things To Do

Visitors to Armand Bayou Nature Center enjoy a variety of fun and educational activities. Those who wish to spend a leisurely walk in nature can hike 1 or all 4 trails that take them through the different ecosystems at the nature center. For those interested in 1890's farm life the Martyn farm house offers a glimpse into the past. Most weekends someone from our volunteer staff is on site for Q&A. And no trip to the Nature Center would be complete with out a stop by the Bison observation deck. Here visitors view the 2 newest members to the Nature Center Family. In February 2008 we received 2 Bison calves.

Saturdays at the Nature Center we offer activities that only a nature preserve can offer. Experience Armand Bayou at water level via a canoe or pontoon boat. The boat trips are very popular and fill up weeks in advance.

For the night Owls, not only do we offer a Moon Light pontoon boat cruise we also give visitors the opportunity to experience the Nature Center's night life. Encounter the Nature Center's nocturnal residents as they come out to forage for food.
