*Please note: On some Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, our interior visitor center and exhibit hall may close at 2 PM to accommodate facility rentals. However, our trails and parking lot remain open and accessible for visitors until our regular closing time (4 PM) unless otherwise noted.  

FOR LARGE GROUPS PLANNING TO VISIT (more than 15 people):  Welcome! Our center hosts scheduled camps, field trips, and other facility rentals in the center daily that make it difficult to accommodate large, unscheduled groups. Additionally, we observe an Adult to Child supervisory ratio of 1 to 6. Please give us a call (214-309-5801) or send us an email (trac@audubon.org) and we'll be happy to check the calendar and provide tips and info so that your group can plan for an enjoyable visit. We highly recommend scheduling a guided program for your group visit for the best experience. Click on PROGRAMS in the main menu for information on our programming options.

Trinity River Audubon Center is located just ten miles south of downtown Dallas, but you'll feel a world away. Our center is your gateway to explore the amazing resources of the 6,000-acre Great Trinity Forest, the largest urban hardwood forest in the United States. Get to know a diverse community of plant and animal species and our unique mixture of bottomland hardwood forest, wetland, and prairie habitat. A part of the City of Dallas-Trinity River Corridor Project, the center's 100+ acres sit on a former illegal dump site, now a reclaimed haven for a vast array of birds and other wildlife in an increasingly urbanized metropolitan area. 

As part of the National Audubon Society, Trinity River Audubon Center is a nonprofit organization, which means supporting us by visiting, telling a friend, or becoming a member helps to educate tens of thousands of North Texas students about science, conservation, and the ecosystems in which they live.

Trinity River Audubon Center is a nonprofit organization supported, in part, by funds from the City of Dallas Park and Recreation Department.
