The interior of the building is kinda bare, not a lot of glass containers of animals, and the ones they have are typically reptiles and or spiders. I don't know if there were more walking trails, but i didn't see too many trails. I walked by the one where there is a creek running through. They also have different exhibits going on. I think they had in insect where they teach kids all about them.

When looking for an inexpensive activity for my kids I came upon this place. It's a beautiful…read moreoutdoor nature park with a few inside elements. They have a room with a few interactive games that my kids liked. For my 2 kids and I it was $11 to go in that room. Honestly it wasn't really necessary, and we wouldn't have missed out if we didn't go in there. But I didn't mind since everything else was free. We only stayed for about an hour. It was nice to just enjoy the outdoors. There weren't any animals outdoors to view. But it was still super pleasant. I would say skip the special room unless you want to just donate to the center.

We come back down to Hurst every summer just for him to be able to take classes for a week. All of the instructors are patient, kind and caring. They want every child to do their best and be proud of their work. I love to go in a few minutes early for pickup just to hear the instructors working and encouraging the kids. The instructors are always positive and upbeat. I have not met one student or a parent of a student to ever say a bad word about Art Castle and the teachers. Your children are in excellent hands and will come out with a great experience and love of Art.

Everything is all fine and dandy unless you are melanated. You claim that a kid has behavior issues…read morebut then you do not mention that until the next day . Then you say well he doesn't really have a behavior issue when we get ready to pull him from camp. Then you state that well my child said his school teacher called us several times for behavior issues. So as an adult you believe a little kid instead of having a conversation with the parent(s) ? Who cares about your 20 years as a school teacher prior to this? All that does is allows you to group kids based on past experiences but you missed on this one. In your mind, you think we are " just some regular black parents". The truth is we are very educated and do accept false narratives. This child had won many awards for his school work , helpfulness, and citizenship. He has tested in the top 3% percentage in the country for math & reading in his age group. He plays the piano very well, plays the guitar, has a true love for art. Never once has there been a behavior issue and I have the references from the daycare, private schools, and gifted and talented schools that he has attended since 3 years of age. I am a realist and the one thing that I will not let happen, is for anyone to create a narrative that is untrue. If you were telling the truth, I could live with that. You have a problem within you. You have a "better than" complex. The other people that work for you know that you were not honest with what you said today. They may be afraid because of their jobs. It appears to me that there is no issue except for the fact that he is very intelligent and brown skinned. Well you now have your wish....a color free school.

They made an amazing option for his needs when we started looking for an activity as we started getting out and about from shut down. He started doing summer camps with them as well at one of the NRH locations they have camps out of. It is a great option for kids that love legos, they have had themes like video game, pokemon, minecraft, etc so kids can find a theme for the week that they are interested in. As well if want to do some stem activities if you do some of the robotics or movie related ones. We've even heard they have started doing a robotics club with a homeschool co-op; so once they start expanding that out to younger or other groups we will be looking at that for our kiddo.

It is intolerant to block the dance dreams that girls and boys have. I hope the city can do something about it. They also chased away all the teachers. After three years being there quietly. So I don't recommend attending here. The staff was also very rude.

This is a unique experience for kids to attend a school where they take a walk through the forest, everyday (unless there is lightening), and have lessons about it. They meet forest critters, eat tree bark, learn about habitats, play with mud tables, and conduct experiments. I cannot speak more highly about the staff. Mini-pirate's teachers, Miss Cindy and Miss Tiffany are amazing, and Miss Shirly, the head admin is wonderful. Pricing options vary, depending on the schedule you choose. They also offer home-school options, after school programs, and summer camps. The fall festival is also something that should not be missed. Mini-pirate is a huge fan, and I loved watching him embrace taking care of the Earth and a love for nature.

Full Circle Riding Academy is AWESOME! Great instructors and great steeds make this a hidden gem…read morein the urban jungle in Fort Worth! It offers various types of ridding styles and both group and private lessons. My boys have all learned lessons not only about caring for and riding horses, but the things behind the scenes that have helped them to gain confidence and experience as well as shown them a bit about personal responsibility in how to treat these magnificent creatures! I saw a few negative reviews and was very surprised to see anything negative written about this wonderful place and the caring staff. What I appreciate is they have a no nonsense approach and give the kiddos direction and correction when required. Not sure what other people have experienced, but the boys and I have nothing but positive experiences here. I am sure you will too, in any case, give them a try!

Full Circle Riding Academy is a gold nugget quietly nestled in the heart of our community…read more Stephanie and her staff have been instructing our girls soon after their interest in riding first appeared. Our oldest is now in her 5th year of lessons and has improved more than we could have ever imagined. FCRA doesn't just provide horse riding lessons, they provide the lifestyle and discipline typically not available to "city girls." The staff remembers what it feels like to be a young girl in love with a horse and tries to allow each student the opportunity to experience that for themselves, even if they are not yet able to own their own horse. With a barn full of young horse crazy girls, the staff at FCRA has patience in abundance. I cannot recommend Full Circle Riding Academy enough.
