Where can I take my nephew to pet an armadillo?

Hey everyone! I hope someone can help as Google has been absolutely useless. Southern side of Houston/Galveston area here looking for recommendations.

My nephew is OBSESSED with armadillos, but we've instilled in him that a- we leave wildlife alone and b- armadillos and other animals often carry diseases.

That said, I think it would be super cool if we could find a petting zoo or something similar that will let him get up-close and personal and maybe teach him a bit more about them. I know there are some places in San Antonio, but I was wondering if there was somewhere closer? If anyone has any suggestions I'd be immensely grateful!

Edit: thanks everyone! I've got a couple wildlife centers that I'm gonna reach out to to see if they do educational presentations. He will be perfectly happy to see them up close and not touch them, and that's fine by me 😁
