7) Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center
Visit an unexpected attraction in Orange, Texas, by going to Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center, an erstwhile haven for nature lovers. Despite being previously destroyed by a hurricane, the garden has risen up again to become a spectacular attraction of perennial beauty. You’ll find a cypress tupelo swamp. You’ll find a variety of exotic birds.
To take it all in, hop aboard the bayou boat ride, which takes you through the various attractions of the garden. There are over 300 plant species and several sculpture rooms to absorb with fascination and wonder.
