My family and I really enjoyed our first visit to Butterfly World! We would recommend taking your time and bring covering so you can avoid the direct sun. Long sleeves and a hat would be recommended with a water bottle. What an experience for us. My family and I developed a love for butterflies in a new way. I would highly recommend stopping into the shop to buy a butterfly to hatch and release at home. We bought two for release and ended up coming back to buy more! The shop is available to public when returning. Thanks for an awesome day!

If you love butterflies, nature, flowers and walking through myriad pristine environments, then Butterfly World in Coconut Creek is the place for you! Located on the beautiful grounds of Tradewinds Park, you will find plenty of convenient parking. When you enter, have your camera ready as you will be surrounded by a wide variety of fluttering, joyous butterflies flitting from flower to flower! Orchids grow freely in this environment and there is so much to see and learn about Florida flora. As you move through different sections, prepare for “butterfly checkpoints,” as staff members cheerfully ensure our flying friends are not hiding in your hair or on your clothing—no butterfly escapes allowed! There are benches along the various routes where you can just sit, relax, snap photos and enjoy nature’s show all around you. People come from all over the world to view the butterflies living here. We always bring visitors, and everyone is super pleased with the experience. Wear comfortable shoes and ladies, consider bringing a clutch rather than a larger purse which can be a bit cumbersome and a good hiding place for butterflies! Enjoy your visit!

Better than expected. We went on a whim and I'm glad we did. I was afraid it was going to be a tourist trap but was in awe of the butterflies, birds, and even some bugs. When we first stepped into the very large screened enclosure, we were immediately greeted by a beautiful blue butterfly then more butterflies! And they aren't camera shy. Following the path we then entered the bird enclosure and an impressive indoor bug collection. For something billed as a "Butterfly World", the aviary hosted a lovely array of colorful birds. There are benches scattered throughout if your knees need a break or if you want to soak it all in. Our fellow patrons being young or older all seemed to enjoy the beautiful winged creatures.

Beautiful garden to take any loved one to and great pictures. The butterflies are beautiful and literally all around you. We have fun at the bird encounter, feeding them was so much fun. There's a butterfly museum and some very cool bugs as well.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How much per person?

Jody Yeo | Sep 1, 2018
ann williams | Sep 1, 2018

Its too expensive for what they offer.. Not to mention paying parking ticket also per head..seriously not worth it...we have one year pass and nothing is changed not even special events..👎👎👎 I think they can do better instead of taking advantage of people's hard earned money...for just a walk through and a few birds to feed..children deserve way more with the time they get with their parents...better off paying for Miami zoo or something in that nature.
