What an amazing 30-minute tour! The views from the boat were awesome, and our tour guide made the ride both educational and fun. I highly recommend visiting. In addition to the boat ride, there’s plenty of sightseeing on the property, including a wetland walk-through and a free small aquarium. Definitely worth the visit!

About Aquarena Center

Run by Texas State University, The Meadows Center (formerly Aquarena) introduces visitors to the lush diversity of the San Marcos Springs and intricate system of waterways. Glass-bottomed boats set out for guided tours of Spring Lake, gazing at the aquatic life and University midterm papers below. Above the springs that bubble up from the bottom, soft shell turtles and bluegill sunfish swim in the clear waters and songbirds survey the sky. Eight endangered species populate the springs, including beetles and two species of salamander. On land, visitors can explore gardens of native Texan plants or a hall of nature exhibit.

Great little adventure! The tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. There’s a free aquarium but it’s very tiny. Overall, a great experience.
