Warren Wildlife Gallery is a great little adventure! My grandsons love it. It is a quick outing when you are looking for something to do with kids or visitors. Free but making an appointment is advised. It is full of big and little surprises and is updated occasionally. Since we enjoy it for free we usually buy something from the gift shop as a way to support it financially. Items are reasonably priced. A little gem tucked into an interesting Austin neighborhood.
This is a hidden gem in South Austin. This was my first time here, and it definitely did not disappoint! What a beautiful gallery with so much to see, and the landscaping is so well kept! I would highly recommend visiting this gallery!
I found myself talking to an old elephant bull in my mind’s eye this morning, and as I lay awake in bed with a heavy heart, I quietly breathed these words:
“When people debate hunting big tuskers for trophies, they don’t consider how deeply it affects the local communities who you represent. They only see the material value of your tusks, and ignore the spiritual and ecological value you have for the people you’ve lived alongside for many centuries. They forget that by harming you, they harm themselves and the delicate natural balance that sustains us all.”
Humans crave knowledge, wisdom, and a sense of belonging to the intricate web of life. We long for meaningful connections with nature – to learn from its timeless rhythms and find calm in its beauty beyond our chaotic lives.
Selling a soul – whose history is etched into its weathered tusks and thick skin – as a trophy seems to signify a turning away from the solutions we need for our own selves and Earth’s wellbeing and health. It diminishes the sacred bond that should exist between us and the natural world – a bond rooted in respect, admiration, and a deep sense of interconnectedness.

Visiting the wildlife gallery was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the stunning displays showcasing the beauty of nature. The attention to detail in each exhibit was remarkable, and the passion of the staff members was palpable. Not only did I learn so much about various species, but I also felt a deep connection to the natural world. It was a truly enriching experience that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking inspiration and appreciation for wildlife.
Such a cool hidden gem! I went alone and pretty much got to tour the place to myself since you make reservations! There was so much to look at. Morgan at the front desk was so kind and it was nice to chat with her. Highly recommend if looking for something unique to do in ATX to escape the heat or rain. And it was free!
This place is a hidden gem! It’s small, but the details make it memorable. We spent a hour here & it was plenty of time for the kids to enjoy themselves. I especially love the giant giraffe out in the front! I also like how a reservation is required & that you’re able to walk through at your own pace without a crowd! There is a small gift shop. & they do accept donations. Our entry was free! I highly recommend checking this place out. It’s definitely worth it!
This place is amazing! I wish I could give it more then 5 stars. I spent a hour here and could have spent much more of my kid didn’t get bored. There have a small put put to do on the way out. The way they have it set up.. wow. There is so much to take in. I feel like every time I turned around, there was more to see or there was something else I missed. I took a ton of pictures but they request you don’t ruin it for people who haven’t been here. It’s allot to take in and I feel like I have to come back and do the tour again because of the amount of stuff I missed. Staff was super friendly, this is definitely top tier. Beautifully done.. someone put allot of time into setting this up, i highly recommend getting a appointment and checking them out.
