Parking $30, and the tickets cheaper at the museum. Had to pay extra to see other parts of the museum; of course the lines are long even with tickets you have to go to the booth.

Must see the butterfly habitat, planetarium and the dinosaur exhibit. The only thing was the snack/eatery closed mid-afternoon??? so no water/soda if your thirsty, maybe bring own next time. Crowded for a weekday visit. Parking was crowded so be aware. Nice parks around the museum grounds. Gift shop had a $10,000 dinosaur for sale if your interested?!otherwise knickknacks for sale.

Very beautiful and peaceful experience. The butterflies are quite friendly and unbothered by people staring and taking pics. I would definitely go again!

On my bucket list forever that I thought I’d have to do alone, but on a trip I brought up the Cockrell Butterfly Center and family loved it.

The area overall was very calming and beautiful. There are also iguanas, and turtles to see. The waterfall is relaxing. There isn't a lot of areas to sit and rest because it's not that long of a walking exhibit.

The museum is quite varied and definitely worth going to. We purchased the CityPass, and used it here. There are extras that you have to pay for, if you want to go in, though.

There is so much to see here and great for every age. Plan on walking a lot! Dinosaur bones, gemstones, seashells, Texas wildlife, coastal conservation, Indiginous exhibits, Egyptian exhibits and more.

If you are going to see the immersive King Tut Exhibition-do not go! The worst rip-off ever. $30.00 a person? % rooms, no authentic Tut works on display, for everything is a reproduction. The add on the $30.00 to park? -And, if you go, good luck getting access to that parking easily, for they have everything coned off. We had to make 4 U-turns to finally just enter. Do not go earlier than your ticket time. Better yet-don't go at all!

King Tut exhibition was superb. Very nice collection of dinosaur bones. All artifacts were displayed in an appealing manner. We used City Pass for admission. Thoroughly enjoyed our time touring this museum.

The Museum is part of the City Pass so my husband, adult son and I decided to visit. Loved the various exhibits - most memorable was the King Tut/Egyptian floor, mineral/gem area and the Energy Exhibit on the 4th floor. Plan on a good 3 hours if your group wants to review most areas.

Haven’t been in a while. My question at front desk was how much more it cost to see the King Tut exhibit vs permanent exhibit only. Instead of a direct answer to my question, I was bombarded with “do you have this???” Asking if I was a member or military. The list went on. I ended up looking down at the chart in front of me & answeing my own question: it is $10 more for Tut & that included permanent exhibits. I did find out we were only $10 each with my AAA card. Just did not like the approach by the employee. Then at the entrance where we handed an unsmiling, who seemed bored out of her mind our tickets; we proceeded into a space where a train exhibit was curtained off. We had no clue where to go & had been given no direction. Finally after asking an employee we had to stop, we were told to go down to a second entrance. I should have stayed outdoors. It was beautiful weather. Only redemption was a kindly gentleman in the dinosaur section who showed my grandsons some fossils. The boys were thrilled.

Best natural history museum in the nation. The dinosaur collection is out of those world, likely best on the planet.

Spent a fascinating morning and early afternoon here. Way to much to see to rush. Great staff helped the experience. Thank you for an enjoyable conclusion to our Houston visit.

Said there were no more availability when I purchased a ticket from trip advisor. I need a refund. Will never go back based off how they treated me and my wife.

Beautiful place with a perfect view of pretty butterflies and exotic plants. Well put together information journey before entering the butterfly center.
