Just like a butterfly in its chrysalis, the Cockrell Butterfly Center is having a transformation of its own.
The center is undergoing some exciting changes to make your future visits with the butterflies not only better, but more accessible for all! Remember- it’s not a “goodbye”, but rather a “see you later”. Make sure to keep an eye (or antennae) out for future announcements about the center’s reopening and events in early 2023.
The Cockrell Butterfly Center and Brown Hall of Entomology provide entertainment and education for the whole family. Walk through a living butterfly habitat, marvel at spectacular live and preserved specimens of some of the world’s largest and weirdest arthropods, and enjoy interactive games and quizzes.
Strollers are not allowed in the Butterfly Center, but there is stroller parking available nearby.
Please be aware that this is a live animal exhibit, which can be overwhelming to service animals. If your service animal or the animals inside become agitated through vocalization, urination/excretion, or aggressive behavior, we may ask that your service animal step out of this area of the Museum.
