Nature-loving kids will like this leisurely stop to visit the Birding and Nature Center. One of nine centers in the lower Rio Grande Valley, the center provides an opportunity to learn about the birds of the area and enjoy more than 3,300 feet of boardwalk, five bird blinds, an auditorium with a documentary showing the wildlife of the island, and a five-story tower with views of the island. The center is open daily, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with admission $5 or less. Children under 4 are free.
