Jacob's Review:
The Austin Nature Center is cool, they have a real beehive inside a building. It is inside a glass case and there are so many bees you can't even count them all! The bees are making honey that you could really eat!! (Try Honey in Oatmeal with banana's!) The bees can go out the tube to outside, you can go outside and see the bees flying in and out. They won't sting you if you don't touch them!
The Austin Nature center is also cool because there are a lot of Texas animals there!! They have skunks (but don't worry they don't smell because they are nice skunks). There is a coyote, hawks and some ones I didn't see before.

Dad's Notes:
There is a lot more to the nature center than I thought there would be, there is the learning center building with the beehive, but also it has full size educational dioramas that the kids can play on and around, in another room tons of fossils and little educational games that are all hands on! Outside was a nature trail (Jacob loves leading the way on the 'exploration'), and a variety of native animals like the ones Jacob mentioned and many more. Definitely a good way to spend an afternoon with the kids!!
