Cockrell Butterfly Center
This place was really a fun walk through. I found the best way to view the butterflies was to just find a place to sit because the butterflies were constantly moving.
There was a booth where one could purchase a butterfly for $50 but it had to be released in their rainforest. I Know! That is a lot of money for a 2 minute rush but I saw a lot of parents buying them for the kids.
The Houston Museum of Natural Science was in the same building but we didn't want to spend the money to see dinosaur bones ..;) I saw the one in Austin, Texas and that's enough for me.. :)
Here's some information from their page
Walk through a living butterfly habitat, marvel at spectacular live and preserved specimens of some of the world’s largest and weirdest arthropods, and enjoy interactive games and quizzes. The Cockrell Butterfly Center is well known for its immersive walk-through butterfly habitat, but there is much more to explore in the world of bugs! Visit the exhibits surrounding the rainforest conservatory for an in-depth look at arthropods.
