The Eddie V. Gray Wetlands Center is operated by the City of Baytown and you really wouldn't know it. The facility is impressive and the staff are incredible. The center is filled with activities and learning opportunities for kids and adults alike. The staff are very knowledgeable and make the experience very fun and interactive.
If you're in Baytown for a few hours or a few days, I would recommend checking out the Wetlands Center. They have wetlands exhibits, alligators, bees, birds and more.

The center iis staffed with friendly knowledgeable people who are experts in our outdoor environment. The center is a major education center of students, children, visitors, and geocachers. I cannot say enough good about the center and the people who work here.

Enjoyed all the the Wetlands Center from the gators to the bunny to pet, to the microscope labs. The kids liked putting their hands into boxes to guess what was inside, and they loved using flashlights to see the nocturnal scene animals. Ken Pridgeon's murals were amazing. The snakes were plentiful. This place is SO improved, so many upgrades every year that it looks different every time I come in.

I visited this place based on the first review here, ummmm this place sucks. Im a pretty easy to please person but, the self guided tour sucks, maybe there are extra perks going on a guided tour or waiting for one of the events to come around. The main attractions here are the gator section (1 large catfish and a small one and 4 baby alligators sitting on a rock and what appear to be koi) and the random rabbit sitting near the front of the exhibit that really has nothing to do with the museum but is cute.

Went with my son's field trip (10-12 year-olds) and the the kids and adults had a great time. The building itself is very unassuming but once the activities started I was impressed. The combination of nature talks and hands-on experiences kept the kids busy and learning for 90 minutes.

I LOVE the Wetlands Center and have visited hundreds of times. Their exhibits are always changing, and the staff is wonderful at giving tours and teaching about the animals that live there. Their summer and winter camps for kids are also very fun, educational, and different. I feel like every time I go I learn something new! Great place!

Can you crab and take home? What is this about a lot of snakes? So is there a possibility that we can be struck by one?

They don't charge admission but rely on donations. This was very interesting and a lot of snakes, but still fun to go to just to say you have been there. May go again.
