  Due le attrazioni che meritano: la serra con le farfalle e la parte dei dinosauri. Collezione molto ampia e forse senza pari in USA. A must see a Houston  more »

  Two attractions that deserve: the greenhouse with butterflies and the part of the dinosaurs. Very wide and maybe unmatched collection in USA. A must see in Houston

  The entire experience is magical. The tropical rain forest is mesmerizing especially with the hundreds of butterflies flying around. Must see place in Houston. Other than this there is the planetarium and the natural science museum. Hermann park is right in front, so can easily spend an entire day. Will be amazing for kids of any age.

  The Houston museum of natural science is amazing! We have the only skeletal display of a triceratops in the world that is made of real bones! A magical place with amazing exhibits on 4 levels. Lots of very friendly employees and volunteers around as well. Parking does cost $20 for non members and $10 for members if you want to park in the attached garage. And membership is the only way to go if you live in the area. But worth every penny!
