    This place is so Beautiful and peaceful. Piano background music lots of Butterflies, birds sounds, lots of benches under the trees, water fountains, sun, wind... its nice, real nice!!! A must visit place in Florida.

    Butterfly World is such a neat place to bring an outdoorsy person to. It's inside Trade Winds park which can have a fee to enter on the weekends, but tell them you're there for Butterfly World and it's free to enter the property. Butterfly World is not free tho. We loved seeing the butterflies going nuts over those grilled bananas!!!! The aviary is neat and the macaws by the bridge are scary but fun. Long live butterfly world!

    Great experience visiting today as part of a large group. There were lots of butterflies for us to see immediately upon entering the park. So many different ones. The only disappointing thing was that I bought the food to feed the birds for my group as soon as I walked in without assessing the situation and we were basically force feeding the birds. They were so full but he kept selling more food. We didn't get the photos with all the birds wanting that little bit of food. Still beautiful and great day to be with the birds and butterflies.

    Mom & I are visiting from CT, and unfortunately, an illness hit me like a ton of bricks. I was still looking for low key, fun things for us to do, and this was the best! We took our time with the butterflies, and fed the larakeets. (My mom's favorite part.) Thoroughly enjoyed the Chinese button quails and the various colors of every exhibit! I would definitely recommend.

    I bet you've seen those videos on TikTok about people in those butterfly enclosures holding birds and having butterflies sit on their heads. Well, this is just the place. From gentle butterflies to cool bugs and birds, this place will wipe all your worries away and leave you inspired by nature. Plus, they play music that's really whimsical to get you in the mood. They also give you a map so you can see where you're going. So this place is actually awesome, and I loved everything.

    This is such a wonderful and beautiful experience as a date or family outing. Feeling the birds and watching the various butterflies flying around you was the highlight of the park...

    This has been on our bucketlist for a while and we are so glad we made it just in time before a large storm. When we arrived they had already closed off the sanctuary due to lightning warnings but did tell us they may open back up in a hour or so. We decided to risk it and went to the butterfly and bug museums first. Really cool and interesting history and amazing butterflies! If you are interested in bugs they have a lot of interesting ones that is for sure! Luckily as soon as we finished with the museum, they opened back up the butterfly sanctuary. We went right in and saw so much butterfly activity. It was a shock at first with just how many butterflies there were. Absolutely beautiful sanctuary and such stunning butterflies. We were excited to see their bird enclosures too as the birds were quite interesting, colorful, and active. Such a fun experience!

    Such a beautiful place. People are so nice. Loved the butterflies and the birds and even the flowers Our 7 years old was so much occupied. The gift shop is so lovely and I could not resist purchasing stuff even when I had no space in my bags. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting this side.

    this place is so fun! Brought my 2 year old and she had a blast!! We did two laps and saw birds, butterflies, bees, plants/flowers. It was super hot so all the butterflies were out. I love that they have a few ac stops to cool down

    This place is so beautiful and romantic and perfect for all ages. We were greeted by Jenny- who showed us the map and showed us and explained to us how this went. Because most of it was outside but there were some areas inside as well, she showed us where the cafe was as I got there starving. I had googled this place and was very hopeful that I would enjoy it and we are sooooo glad we went. It was such a great time at such a reasonable price. We were there a few hours and I feel like we could've stayed longer- there's that much to see. My favorite part of course was all the beautiful butterflies. they were amazing I had never seen so many in my life. The colors and different sizes and shapes it was so magical, these creatures are just so beautiful. Also great photo ops everywhere in that area. There are also benches to relax and hang out, a water fall for great pictures. And that's just one room. There were several rooms of tons of other things. For example they had a bird room where you pay I believe 2.00 for some type of liquid and the birds flocked over to you and drank the liquid this was pretty cool- but can be scary for some as they do flock over to you immediately. A bird did land on my friends head. So beware of this if you are scared of birds. They have a big museum. They have a cafe, a gift shop, they also have like an area to see these beautiful plants which I've never seen before which as pretty cool. They had a small area where you saw parrots and little ducklings and there randomly was an iguana walking around this was so cool. There was so much to do- and so much to see. We paced ourselves as to take in everything. They are extremely serious about not touching the butterflies or trying to take any- you will indeed go to jail they warn you and they have signs everywhere. I am so glad they're protecting the butterflies. They also offer passes to come here all summer- and they also have passes that include this place and a few other places. So check that out as well!

    Ask the Community - Butterfly World

    Do the butterflies get released to the wild?

    We have exotic butterflies and can’t be released in the wild. Our butterflies fly freely in our butterfly aviaries.

    How long should we plan for our family's visit to butterfly world? Kids are 9, 7, and 5 so attention spans are limited...is two hours sufficient?

    Two hours should be fine. If they have extra energy, Tradewinds park is very large with a lot of open spaces for them to run around, they'll have a great time. Bring a picnic lunch!

    Is butterfly world stroller friendly?

    Yes it is.

    Is this a good rainy day activity?

    No, most of the exhibit is outdoors under screens, but exposed to the elements.

They do have trails you can venture off through the plants and trees that leads back to the paved paths. We loved it!

There were a ton of people also there so parking can be a little difficult but at least the parking is free. The park has a playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, and then right behind it all is the Arboretum. The arboretum is a fantastic walking trail. It has several hundreds of different species all throughout and it has signage naming each one so you get to learn a bunch while you are walking around. The pathway is paved and includes many branching walkways to benches, picnic tables, and places to see even more so you aren't on a linear walk. They also have a bunch of alligator signs so you may be lucky enough to spot one when walking around. I could easily spend an hour walking around counting the species of plants and seeing which one is thriving the most throughout the exhibit. I can't wait to visit again and see more than what I saw on my first visit.

While I don't think it necessitates a visit on it's own it's pleasant to stroll through if you are going to the theater or visiting the art museum. It's definitely a nice place to take pictures if you are all dressed up for the theater. The garden is a wonderful addition to the Coral Springs art complex.

I was so excited to finally see something new here. I made a beeline to check it out. The shop is small at only 80 square feet but it is so adorable and makes great use of the space. They sell rare and exotic plants and plant accessories. The owner Bur has even partnered with local artists to offer some of their goods as well. I loved the adorable crochet plants, especially the bonsai. The thing that I think really sets Burs apart is its BYOB: build your own bouquet. For $27.99 you can chose 10 stems of the most beautiful and unusual stems of flowers. The depth of color was amazing and I definitely saw things I have never seen anywhere else. The bouquets being put together were absolutely stunning. I love how you can really add your personalization to the arrangements. After discovering Burs I will never pick up a Publix bouquet again.
