    I've been to this museum before, and I'm still in awe everytime I go. I've seen many parts of it, but never the entire museum! My favorite area is the mineral area-- just beautiful! Low lights, soft music, and brilliant lighting on the exquisite stones. The butterfly museum is great for kids-- very interactive for many levels. As is the energy floor. Drive a tug boat! A great place to go in a great city to visit!

    We went on an expedition to the museum over our thanksgiving visit to Houston. What a fun outing! We toured the King Tut exhibit and it makes me wonder what the other Egyptian tombs must have been like since they were by fare bigger than Tut’s tomb. The cutaways of the sarcophagus was amazing and the feeling they created as if you were entering the actual tomb as one of the archaeologists did was well done. Then we headed to the butterfly exhibit. That is a work of living wonders. We saw butterflies enclosing from there chrysalis’s. Then wandering in the butterfly enclosure room! It was warm with feeding stations for butterflies to drink out of. Thousands of butterflies were flying around and occasionally landing on us as we wandered through the tropical plants. Well worth the visit!

    Totally amazing dinosaur space and exhibit. Truly incredible. Tut egypt exhibit and colletion is totally mind blowing. Very extensive collectuon. This is a must see for adulta and kids. Best in U.S.A. really a gem. PLan 8 hours to take it in and check out the massive park next door. TIp - Seek on street parking for free rather than 25$. SUCH A GEM 5 STARS.
