During our trip to Dallas for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse we stayed in Plano, Texas. We visited 2 parks while there, Arbor Hills Nature Park and the Heard Museum. Both were nice. Arbor Hills was a huge park and although crowded we were able to mostly get away from the crowds. There were lots of wildflowers and butterflies but not much other wildlife. In the afternoon we visited the Heard Museum. It was an interesting place with a nature museum, store, kids play area and some nice trails including our favorite, the boardwalk over the swamp. This is where we saw the majority of the wildlife including a Water Moccasin and a Diamondback Watersnake.
