Cockrell Butterfly Center

Hotels near Cockrell Butterfly Center, Houston, United States .

The Cockrell Butterfly Center is one of the many natural science exhibit centers making up the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The Butterfly Center and the museum are to be found along the northern edge of Hermann Park in downtown Houston, Texas, at 5800 Caroline Street.

The Butterfly Center consists of a Hall of Entomology and different live butterfly, insect, and exotic plant displays. The building is an impressive three story glass structure that lets in plenty of light and is an incredibly well designed enclosed habitat, including a 50 foot waterfall and a small, simulated rainforest. In the same complex as the Butterfly Center, there is also an IMAX Theater with various natural science oriented screenings, the Burke Baker Planetarium, all part of the broader Houston Museum and Scientific Society. The foundation stretches all the way back to 1909, and the natural science museum is only second in attendance to the New York Museum of Natural History.

The Butterfly Center itself was opened in 1994, and recently underwent major renovation in 2007, and currently includes children's games.
