Taken 3/28/21. The Butterfly Center is one large exhibit in a modern conservatory with a changing species assortment as is usual for these types of exhibits. Five small animal exhibits are also inside. The adjoining Hall of Entomology contains 32 live animal exhibits.
@geomorph What are your top 5 insect zoos that you have encountered in your zoo travels? How does this one at the Houston museum rank?
 
@DavidBrown I would say this one is in the top 5! Audubon Insectarium was number 1, I am really curious if their move to their aquarium facility will be just as impressive. Cincinnati number 2. Albuquerque number 3. Saint Louis number 4. And this one number 5.

The most recent insect exhibit complex I have seen is Oregon Zoo’s Insect Zoo which is a nice little room but would rank below top 10.
