Cockrell Butterfly Center, Houston

It was such a beautiful place to visit and explore. I can imagine myself sitting there for hours if it were more quiet We went on a Sunday which made it super busy. So many people in such a small place. Over all would definitely recommend. It’s magical. Maybe during the week is less crowded?

Great place to see beautiful butterflies and flowering plants. There is even some tortoises and a big iguana! Children especially love this place. It is worth the extra cost to purchase a ticket as it is NOT included in your museum general admission ticket. There is a small but informative exhibit inside of butterflies, their life cycle, and some other bugs. Check their opening hours as it opened later than the permanent exhibit halls when we visited.
