Tripadvisors syn på omdömen
Innan det publiceras går varje Tripadvisor-omdöme genom ett automatiserat spårningssystem som samlar in information och svarar på följande frågor: hur, vad, var och när. Om systemet upptäcker något som potentiellt går emot våra communityriktlinjer publiceras inte omdömet.
När systemet upptäcker ett problem kan ett omdöme automatiskt avvisas, skickas till recensenten för verifiering eller granskas manuellt av vårt team med innehållsspecialister, som arbetar dygnet runt för att upprätthålla kvaliteten på omdömena på vår webbplats.
Vårt team kontrollerar alla omdömen som publiceras på webbplatsen för vilka våra användare ifrågasätter om de uppfyller våra communityriktlinjer.

I grow milkweed in pots and raise monarch butterflies in my backyard and love to see the other species at the Butterfly Center.

This is a fantastic place to visit if you are in Houston. As well as butterflies, there are numerous displays of various insects for you to see.
Parking is expensive, it was more than our entrance fee combined. There is free parking opposite the building on the other side of the traffic circle, about 300 yards away. So see if you can get a space there before using the museums car park.
Before you enter the butterfly habit, you are told a few dos and don'ts. One of those is not to touch the butterflies. Now I can understand when children do this, but the number of adults I saw doing this or encouraging their children to do so was ridiculous.

One of our fave places in Houston. My daughter asks to come here year for her birthday, and it never disappoints. Conveniently attached to the Natural History Museum, so make time for both.

This is part of the Museum of Natural Science, and we were glad we paid the extra to go in. It's small but very nicely done.

The butterflies were beautiful and there were so many! The educational exhibit before you go in was very well done. Seeing the hatching process was amazing. The exit isn’t well marked and we had to wander around once we were ready to head out.

Today was our 13th wedding anniversary and to say that my wife LOVES BUTTERFLIES is an understatement - that’s why I asked her to marry me over 13 years ago at the Cockrell butterfly exhibit at the Museum of Natural Science in Houston Texas.
Today I planed to take her back and re-create somewhat of a ‘moment’ so I bought tickets online and we showed up, albiet be 10 minutes late. It was at this point we discovered how stringent the rules of “butterfly world” are it was our experience when we met Octavio V. who told us, since we were 10 minutes late for our 4:30 time for the tickets that we had pre-paid in advance that day - we were unable to get in. Of course I explained to him the importance of the day and how I’d asked my wife to marry me there 13 plus years ago and it meant a lot to us and we will be in and out very quickly.
This was a no match for Octávio’s training to uphold the rules and he did so in great fashion. Not only we were told we could not enter the exhibit that we had pre-paid for $27 plus parking, but we were given no other person to talk to you other than “the manager” which turned out to be Octovio himself.
If you are looking for someone to toe the company line and uphold the written policy without consideration of the very customer that makes all that necessary then Octovio V. is your man.
I am only requesting someone in this organization other than OV give me a call and explain to me why this is the way you conduct business. I am in the hospitality business which I made my career I just don’t get it.

Closed for renovation at the end of October. People at the front counter were quite curt.
Figured it’d be helpful to share before you decide to go.

I only visited the butterfly center at the HMNS. I enjoyed it! It was a beautiful setting and very peaceful. the waterfall was a really nice feature. It was an educational experience with lots of great information. The kids seemed to love seeing all the butterflies. There are not so many in there that they land on you a lot like some other Butterfly exhibits I have been to.
it was a great way to spend an hour or so.
NOTE FOR THE BUTTERFLY CENTER:
There was one attendant I saw touching the butterflies and getting them to move and fly. There seemed to be no compelling reason to touch them other than to 'play' with them. The staff uniforms are pretty non-descript so I didn't realize they were an employee. I told her, " I don't think you are meant to be touching the butterflies," she waved her radio at me to indicate she worked there. She told me, "we just tell the kids that,". I only bring this up as it sets an example for other visitors and kids that see that and think it's OK to do the same. If you don't want people to walk around touching the butterflies, the staff probably should leave them alone too.

We added the Butterfly Center to our visit to the HMNS, SO COOL!!! We really enjoyed the entire museum but the butterfly area was especially fun and beautiful! There is a whole educational section plus then you get to go in the greenhouse type space and see the butterflies, so many butterflies. The top floor where you enter was really hot (it was almost 100* outside that day) but once you went down the stairs it was more comfortable and you could just take in all of the plants and butterflies.

I am so sorry. I just today saw the question. Today is Dec 12th. The low is 48 and the high will be about 65. Just a week ago the low was 68 and a high of 80. You just never know. However, we seldom get snow and seldom go below 42. I hope that helps others in the future.

How much is an adult ticket for the butterfly centre
Heather K-H
Houston, TX191 inlägg
With a membership, it is $6. Without a membership, it is $12 for adult and $10 for a child.
Is it possible to just visit the butterfly center and not the Natural Museum.
