Tips from locals
Amazing rainforest setting with butterflies galore! Wear a bright color and you might get a "friend" to sit on your shoulder.
Literally one of my favorite places in all of Houston. I love butterflies. They are home of some very rare butterflies here. They do butterfly releases on Tuesday’s around 1pm
The Cockrell Butterfly Center and Brown Hall of Entomology has a huge variety of species and serves as a teachable moment for kids and anyone interested in bugs, providing entertainment and education for the entire family. The center is home to a living butterfly habitat with spectacular specimens of some of the world’s strangest arthropods as well as fun interactive quizzes and games. And here are some useful hints; as you walk through the area, have a look under leaves and take the time to read about the life cycle – found at the entrance to the center – where you can see chrysalis in their various stages. And wear bright colors. The butterflies are more than likely to land on you then.
