Exploration tours include staff-conducted live animal encounters and time for groups to explore the trails and exhibits on their own.

Expedition tours include the live animal encounters as well as a guided hike where staff will lead groups on the trails pointing out scenic features and discussing the flora and fauna of Bluebonnet Swamp.

Weekend group tours may also be scheduled (for Scouts and other groups), pending staff availability. Staff will work with teachers and group leaders to cover many special topics by request.
