CORPUS CHRISIT, Texas — The South Texas Botanical Gardens and Nature Center is offering that special dad in your life free admission this Father's Day weekend.

South Texas Botanical Gardens and Nature Center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Explore trails, wetlands, gardens, and the boardwalk with the entire family. The "Rep-Tales" exhibit begins at 10:30 am on both days, organizers say.
All memberships are on sale this weekend, with 20% off, and they include a year's worth of free admission, discounts at Turner's Gardenland, Feathered Friends and Co., Nature's Boutique, BIG BLOOM, Nature Camps, free Saturday classes, plus 350 free reciprocal gardens.
"Dad's well-behaved leashed dog is also welcome. Sorry, only dads are free. All other non-members pay general admission," said South Texas Botanical staff.
