Explorers Programming
Explore, Learn, and Discover with Us
We invite you to bring your group for an unforgettable experience at Texas Discovery Gardens! Our educational programs are available Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and include an hour-long program of your choice along with admission to the Tropical Butterfly House, Snake and Reptile Shack, and our Native Texas Gardens.
For larger groups, we ensure a smooth experience by dividing students into groups of 30 or fewer, with each group rotating through engaging hour-long programs.
There’s so much for your students to explore! Wander through our 7.5 acres of organically maintained gardens, discover fascinating creatures in the Snake and Reptile House, immerse yourself in the beauty of the Tropical Butterfly House, and enjoy the Natural Playscape and Discovery Art Gallery.
We also provide partial scholarships for Title 1 schools and nonprofit groups to help make these experiences accessible to all. For more details, reach out to [email protected]. We look forward to welcoming your group!
Note: We’re unable to offer programming during Spring Break, Summer Camps, or the State Fair of Texas.
