About the Business
The Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge - Discovery Center, located at 2072 Hoskins Mound Road in Angleton, Texas, is a park that offers a unique combination of freshwater and saline environments. Home to a diverse range of coastal wildlife, including over 320 species of birds, 95 species of reptiles and amphibians, and 130 species of butterflies and dragonflies, the refuge provides ample opportunities for wildlife viewing.
Visitors can explore the estuary and observe large populations of wintering waterfowl, shorebirds, and wading birds from the auto tour at Big Slough. The newly opened Cannan Bend Recreation Area offers additional wildlife viewing opportunities on a freshwater lake and near coastal forest.
The refuge manages thousands of acres of coastal estuary that serve as nursery grounds for fish, shellfish, and insects, supporting a rich ecosystem. With a focus on conservation and habitat preservation, the refuge uses a variety of land management tools to ensure a balanced approach that benefits both wildlife and visitors.
As part of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail and located in the Central Flyway, Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge is a prime destination for birdwatching year-round. Visitors can experience the ebb and flow of life in one of the most biologically rich environments in Texas.
America the Beautiful Interagency Passes are available at the Complex Office in Brazoria, where visitors can also learn more about the refuge's conservation efforts. Please call (979) 964-4011 in advance to ensure staff availability for pass transactions. Explore the beauty and diversity of coastal wildlife at Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge - Discovery Center.
Reviews
"Great place to see lots of wildlife. Tons of birds. Tons of alligators. Saw a bobcat. Only real problem is that mosquitos are completely unbearable."
"It was a spur of the moment decision on our way home. My daughter was visiting from California. It did not disappoint! Most of the water is dried up, but we did see a hog a few birds, a mom alligator, and a bunch of her babies!"
"Take bug spray, the mosquitoes are bad and this is only January and they are bad. If you want to see birds and alligators there’s a lot here."
"Lots of birds to see in the spring and fall. Go early (7 am) as there is more activity. Watch for deerflies as they are relentless during the summer. Insect repellent does not work."
"A wonderful place to watch water fowls. The GPS location is actually just the entrance. The office building is a few miles further down. The office is closed due to Covid but there is a roadside kiosk for maps. I suggest taking the auto tour. I saw a good variety of birds in large numbers between stop 1 and 5. However, almost nothing for the rest of the stops. Maybe due to the season?"
