If you're a bird watcher or just a curious amateur, this is a nice place to satisfy your needs. It is out of the way so you can enjoy the view without feeling like you're in the middle of town. The newly built walkway is an attractive addition. You feel close enough to get a good look at the birds, ducks, butterflies, turtles, minnows, etc but at a safe distance so that you don't disturb the ecosystem.
Depending on what you wanted to see and if you walked the length of the path, this could be a short visit and you could stay a while.

Some variety but not all that attractive. Looks like an afterthought. Excited to spot alligator, but the rest felt anticlimactic.

Love the new addition of boardwalks. Lots of room & sight lines for viewing. Didn’t see Boots this year so we’ll have to wait til next year.

This is a cool, free place to visit for anyone. We took our family and had a good time. It's a good place to walk, is handicap accessible to a point. We saw the alligator which was cool. We'll return.

We live nearby in Corpus Christi so we visit occasionally. We were happy to see the white pelicans here on October 23 on their winter migration. They will likely continue their journey to the south in a month or so. The boardwalk that was destroyed from Hurricane Harvey has been rebuilt (funded in large part by FEMA). A great job was done. While this isn’t a major facility, it is well worth a visit. We love watching the birds here, especially during fall and winter months.

A great place to visit and the city has done a ton of work since it was destroyed from the previous hurricane. A great educational place, lots of wildlife and even the hugest alligator

We always love our Trips to Port A and going to Leonabelle Several times during out Visits is always one of the big highlights. I wished the newer pics of the New Boardwalks and Viewing Station would be the main Picture as it's not like the image shown since the Hurricane removed it ;-) I'll include some of our pics from our last trip.
Be Sure to not miss out as it's being expanded more and more each years. Wonderful Job Port A Parks and Volunteer's !!!
Take Care,
CK

This was not what I expected. We saw very little of the things that were supposed to be there. Disappointing.

My husband and I enjoyed this birding center! There were very knowledgeable/ serious bird watchers that we learned from (just people that were watching & taking pictures). We recommend that you bring binoculars and a good camera. We were there on March 2nd and 3rd. We saw tons of white pelicans, lots of different ducks, White Egrets, a White Ibis, a Roseate Spoonbill, and many others. It helped that I studied shore birds online before we went and I also took a bird book. There is supposed to an alligator, but we didn't go early enough to see him. We got there around 9:30am, but earlier is probably better. This is a "free" natural preserve.

There is a fun event at the end of February, "The Whooping Crane Festival", this site doesn't allow links but you can search it.
Also give Aransas Bay Birding Charters a call as they will be able to tell you what birds return when.
We love the Turnbull birding center and unlike others who posted we were so excited to see the gator!! We had been going for years before Hurricane Harvey and never got to see one. The new boardwalk is awesome and we hope they will keep expanding.
There are some other sanctuaries near and in Rockport which is just a short drive so search those as well.
Does it cost to go to the leona belle Turnbull birding center

I read something on Whooping Cranes that come to the area, and now I cant find where that is. Would you happen to know?
Thank you

Are dogs allowed to visit (on leash of course)?

NO dogs, please. Not at this small locale. Birders are trying to see lifetime listers; you will be ousted. Follow other directions above for dog care. Mustang Island dogs okay.

What are the hours of operation? What are the entry fees?
No entry fee, open 7 days a week and open 24 hours but daytime would be best. They have a small parking lot and a person just walks along a path. No employees or entrance gates. No concessions. Very much open to the public.
I am not allowed to post a link but if you search, you will see some information from a Texas tropical trail site.
We were in Corpus Christi and caught this site on the way back home. It was a nice stop - simple but enjoyable to see wildlife. Cheers!
