The animatronic dinosaurs at the Wildflower Center have been doing a whole lot more than just looking cool, apparently - they’ve really been making the most of their time here! From relaxing in our gardens, to learning more about conservation, to hanging out in our gift shop and café…this place is any dino’s dream come true. ✨🦖
🌿 Plan your own day full of flowers, fossilized friends, and fun by purchasing your Dinosaurs Around the World Tickets at the link in our bio!
Big thanks to our friends at @fortworthbotanicgarden for helping this extra-special dino come to life 😉

Guess who`s the newest addition to the wide array of wildlife that calls our nature trails home? This little fawn! 🦌
Did you know baby deer, also known as fawns, are born with white spots to camouflage them in the dappled sunlight that comes in through the tree cover? Head on over the Wildflower Center to look for this cutie in person, and be sure to drive slowly in wooded areas - there are tons of these newborn fawns around and they`re not very street smart yet!
