We stumbled upon this place and decided to take the family there. It turned out to be so fun. There was a lot to do and see. We saw deer, armadillos and other animals. I'm not really and outdoor person and I am planning on going back to walk the other trails (there are 3) and to go visit some of the other exhibits we didn't have time to see. If you go, wear comfortable shoes, take bug spray and some water. You can even pack a picnic they have so many shaded sitting areas. Bathrooms were also clean.

Lovely place to bring the kids, there are short trails ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 mile that were a good length for our young kids. Plenty of bathrooms and places to stop and rest along the way. Highly recommend, you have to pay. Recommend buying tickets online.

The pontoon boat ride Saturday morning was so very nice! The birds were plentiful and the weather was perfect! Thanks to our Captain, James, and our guide, Gene, our experience was entertaining and educational.

We have recently discovered Armand Bayou and all it has to offer only recently. The staff and programs are all very engaging and fun. My 4 year old loves the Eco programs for kids.

Don't think you can fish here =P it's a nature preserve. I see plenty of people fishing around clear lake and the surrounding rivers and bayous so it must be alright.
