The museum also has an IMAX theater and a butterfly center. www.hmns.org

Try the butterfly museum and see a show at the Planetarium afterwards, like we did on our third date.

One of the highlights here is the "Cockrell Butterfly Center" (a personal favorite)! The butterflies will land right on you as you are walking around inside the Butterfly Center!

This museum is located in the museum district in Houston.

Permanent exhibits include oil-related science and technology, Native Americans, palentology, gems, a planetarium, I-Max, and butterfly habitat. Special exhibit: "Leonardo da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius."

Houston's Natural Science Museum - with an IMAX, the Cockrell Butterfly Center (with live butterflies that land on you!) and a planetarium.
