  A national park with many opportunities to see wildlife up close. There is a well shaded picnic area with outhouse-style bathrooms and a great view of the ocean. The visitors center had knowledgeable and friendly staff. The gift shop was small but stocked with items showcasing the wildlife of the area. The viewing stands and observation tower were well built and made for a great view above the terrain to see nesting roseate spoonbills, herons, cranes, etc. We saw numerous alligators and deer also. Bring binoculars and/or a camera lens that will allow for seeing the animals in the distance. Clean bathrooms—and water bottle filling station—inside and outside the visitor center.

  My wife and I visited this past Saturday 10/1/2022. We enjoyed the serenity, the wild life and it was a much needed venture away from the city. The park ranger who assisted us in the welcome center was very kind and the staff operating the store were top notch. I recommend a visit and don't forget to pack a picnic and enjoy the view with your meal. Must visit now!!!

  Amazing little known park (outside of the birding community) that has something for everyone. Trails, wildlife, fishing and of course birding. We didn’t get to see any alligators but we did see turkeys, tons of deer and wild hogs. We will be going back to do the trails when it’s not raining. Definitely check out the visitor center. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. We can’t wait for the exhibits to be displayed.

  Went to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge yesterday August 14, 2022).
  Stopped at the brand new Visitor Center & the employees were quite helpful on the best places to spot the wildlife.
  The weather cooperated & the rain mostly stopped while we were there.
  Did the auto loop & walked a bunch of the paths.
  Saw tons of wildlife! (Most at Jones Lake)
  2 BIG alligators.
  Several doe, fawns & 1 buck that was 6-8 points!
  Several breed of birds, including gorgeous Rosette Spoonbills!
  A small herd or family group of Javelina (7 that we could count)
  A stunning Live Oak Tree that the sign said was at least 500 YEARS OLD!
  An armadillo walking on the roadside.
  And even a few frogs crossing the road! (one appeared to be trailing a LOT of water as s/he was leaping)
  
  The pics are mostly maxed out on magnification, so not great. But good enough! ;)
