My sister recommended visiting this place and I was so glad we did! As soon as we entered the area where the butterflies live, I had one land on my hand and stayed there thru the entire...

Let me start by admitting that I am afraid of butterflies. Seriously afraid. I know it's freakish and I can't explain it, but after living in Houston for 3 years, I finally took the challenge from...

What a treat! This is a 3 level structure that you work your way down from the top on a spiral walk way. There must have been at least 2,000 butterfies. I have been to several other very nice...

I don't think I've ever seen a kid (real or at heart) not enjoy this place. It's kept humid, so your hair will get completely destroyed. Don't be surprised, but don't miss it either.

Very cool, even if your not a huge butterfly fan

If you have a little girl that loves butterflies, then this is the place for you! Or, if you just enjoy walking through a peaceful rainforest butterfly garden, then I recommend it. As soon as we...

It was pretty good, they had interesting displays and facts about insects before you go into the butterfly dome. In 2012 I went to Galveston Moody Gardens and they have what I thought was a much nicer...

We enjoyed the butterfly center. Lots of different species that you're probably not going to see in your back yard. They give you an identification chart to help you id the different ones you see. ...

Small exhibition,

Good for first timers. If you are in Houston and don't mind driving. The Moody Gardens butterfly garden is much better maintained and more worth the visit.

Fun, informative, probably better than Moody Gardens rainforest pyramid

The Museum of Natural Science's Cockrell Butterfly Center isn't exactly an apples to apples comparison with Moody Gardens' rainforest, but there are many advantages. First, an incredible array of...
