PALO ALTO BATTLEFIELD NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK REVIEWS
This was my second trip to this location. It's a simple park packed with a lot of historical value. I never heard of this battle prior to stumbling upon it. The do a re-enactment first Saturdays of the month t 10 am except during the summer. If you visit in the summer you know why.
We had a Field trip “Armor up Academy” And we had an amazing experience the staff was professional & friendly over all a great experience! My kids learned so much.
What a treat it was to show up on a day when there was a demonstration. The men were knowledgeable and interesting to watch. Visitor center was nice. Glad we stopped in.

RESACA DE LA PALMA STATE PARK REVIEWS
Wow! Entering the park in front of the visitor center we were greeted by the beautiful sounds of birds. The first sight of the Green Jay and Kiskade the beauty were mind boggling. I’ve been to quite a few Texas State Parks but this ranks number one! As posted by others make sure you wear insect (mosquito) spray and carry bottle water for your hike. .
The best place to go to for an afternoon hike or bike ride. Miles of trails with benches and observation decks that allow the opportunity to view many different birds and wildlife. The visitor center has a gift shop, snacks and drinks and the staff are amazing. Bring plenty of water, bug spray is recommended.
Very nice, clean park. Not as many birds as I had hoped for, but the 3 photo blinds did offer a lot of ops to see and take pics. I even got 2 life birds here; Clay-colored Thrush and Hooded Oriole. Very clean modern restrooms too.

SABAL PALM SANCTUARY REVIEWS
Love this place in the winter when bugs are knocked back by the cold. It's interesting, quiet and peaceful and good for bird watching. Nice gardens, hiking trails and you can look out over the Rio Grande river at one spot.
Great place for birding and walking in general. Some water features, bird feeders and bird blinds. A nice quiet place to explore
Great place to search for birds. Great views of the Rio Grande River too.
