  Really interesting habitat that's not found many places anymore. The gardens are a work in progress, and the map doesn't always accurately reflect the trails, but we thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife. Can rent binoculars in the new visitor center (which is an old plantation house). Nice lookout over the Rio Grande.

  I went for a walk around the area, it was nice and calm. The admission was $5 and to rent a pair of binoculars was $2 (and turning in your ID until returning binoculars). It was a good experience and enjoyed the serenity of the environment. I however wasn't able to see much wildlife but that didn't stop me from having a good time.
