The Houston Arboretum and Nature Center (HANC) is located at 4501 Woodway Drive, on the western edge of Memorial Park. The Arboretum is one of the state's first nature education facilities for children, and provides services to nearly 200,000 visitors annually. This 156-acre non-profit urban nature sanctuary's mission is to provide education about the natural environment to people of all ages and to protect and enhance the Arboretum as a haven for native plants and animals. This idyllic nature preserve provides over 5 miles of nature trails, through forest, pond, wetland, and meadow habitats. The grounds are open daily 8:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
