Super well kept. Clean and animals look happy (yes even butterflies can look happy). My daughter and I had a great time. Cant wait till the playground right outside of it opens back up so my daughter can play there after our visits. With butterfly world and the playground I can really tire her out so when we get home she will nap and mommy can get a little me time.

We had a beautiful day exploring Butterfly World. Staff were very helpful. Social distancing was done so well by everyone. Felt very safe. Beautiful gardens loads of different varieties of butterflies. We really enjoyed feeding the lorikeets. The bug and insect museum was super interesting. So many amazing butterflies. Butterfly Worlds cafe and bathrooms all very clean.Service was excellent. Can’t wait to head back again. We even got to take home our very own butterflies! We will definitely be visiting again.

This place is beautiful. I havent been there in twenty plus years. It may have changed over time, but is still amazing. I even ran into a couple, on thier first date.

I very much enjoyed my visit to Butterfly. Its right off the FL Turnpike and also easy to get back onto it when leaving. Naturally they have a plethora of butterflies, but they have much more too including a few aviaries. Actually the highlight of my visit was the lorikeets and feeding them with nectar. There is also a gift shop and a cafe though at the moment the cafe is temporarily closed.

Great place to take the kids. Informative, beautiful and so cool. We spent there like 2 hours and my boys loved every minute of it. Pay attention to the discounts, regular admission fee can be a killer.

Butterfly World was a wonderful experience. There are various types of animals inside and the butterflies are beautiful. The gift shop also has a lot of unique gifts. Sometimes there are coupons on their website so make sure to check. It’s a great place for kids and adults. I found it very peaceful.

Great place, have been there several times. They offer coupons for discount admissions and have a great staff. Went as place was opening during the week, and no one else there for a while. Great butterflies, birds and beautiful plants.

My boyfriend and I were visiting while on vacation. We were initially not going to come, due to the price of admission. Luckily, while we were in town, they were running a 50% off special which made it much more affordable and reasonable. The gardens are beautiful, but not nearly as breathtaking as the butterflies and birds. This whole experience was definitely one to remember. Tons of picture opportunities!The downsides:You had to wear a mask the ENTIRE time. Even though the majority of the park is completely outside. It was 90 degrees while we were there and I was literally dying. I couldn’t breath and my face was extremely sweaty.Also, I personally don’t think it would have been worth the money for full price admission, yes it was amazing, but not for almost $70 for the two of us.Overall, it was a great time. I truly don’t think you could be disappointed with this experience!!

It has beautiful gardens and separate aviaries that you can walk through, filled with a large variety of beautiful butterflies. They also have another garden filled with different colored tropical birds and a garden with tropical flowers. On top of this, youre able to go in to another aviarie to feed and have an actual encounter with a Lori or Lorikeet....both are very colorful tropical birds.

This is a very good place for kids to enjoy. There are a lot of butterflies there. OBVIOUSLY!! I didnt find it too enjoyable for adults. It takes about an hour to view the whole area .

Review №14

Such a neat place. The atrium with the butterflies is my favorite. Be sure to check them out on Facebook or their website ahead of time to see if you can get a discount code, which makes it worthwhile. Suggest you do not go there on super hot days, as mask wearing due to Covid is required and its uncomfortable. Try to go in the middle of the week to avoid the crowds to have a better experience.

This place is beautiful, not a huge place but still has enough attractions to be there for at least 2 hours. They have a butterfly garden, two bird aviaries, a bug museum and a small shop. Great for a date or family trip

What a beautiful little pocket of beauty located right here in South Florida. The grounds are beautifully kept & it feels magical the moment you drive onto the property. Look for coupons though! The entry price is a tad pricey. Well worth it though, and over all a fun family day.

Review №21

Very nicely done! Lots of butterflies, birds, etc. Would be nice for adults and kids interested in insects/animals/nature. May be okay for little kids, but only for 1-2 hours. We paid the 50% from the website (Oct 2020), but I would think twice about the regular rate. Hopefully they lower the admission price and find other ways to raise revenue.

All the species of butterfly, seeing a blue Morpho, meeting some Lorikeets, and saying hello to a green wing and scarlet macaw, and seeing all kinds of unique birds. Truly a great experience. It was a bit hot, but thats Florida summer for you.

Review №24

Small nice butterfly sanctuary. They also have a bird garden with different kinds of small birds and parrots. I came here early in the morning when it wasnt crowded, felt like I was in a private garden. The tickets are overpriced, but this month they have 50% off which came to $17 and some change. Still felt a little bit pricey. Maybe it makes sense to buy a $50 pass, that you get to see the butterfly world, flamingo gardens and sawgrass park as many times as you want from July 1st- until end October 2020

I love butterflies.. great place for kids. But prices from online to walk is different. I went to front counter and lady said 63 something and I said I saw price online she said so what brought you in today.. I am like what.. I saw the price lower then this.. so she said okay yes that’s what I was waiting for. Which was really weird.. SOO PLEASE CHECK YOU PRICES ONLINE 1st..

Review №28

Nice and relaxing place...but too many kids and noise. They say it’s number 1 attraction in Florida. It’s way too much to say that. They have a promotion and the ticket price is $16.00. Regular $32 it’s not worth it.

Review №29

I just loved this place. The butterfly world is located in Tradewinds Park, Coconut Creek. At the entrance you receive a map/ brochure with every attraction and explain the walk step by step. I recommend you wear comfortable shoes cause there’s so many places to see and is a fair walk !! Beautiful gardens, birds and butterflies. They have a space where you can hold this amazing birds and feed them, the birds are friendly and eat from your hand. They’re are just so tiny and cute. It’s an amazing experience. They also have a boutique with super nice merchandise for butterfly lovers and more. Also a jewelry store at very affordable prices.

Really cool place to take your kids or have a romantic walk. They have many different activities based on your interest such as exotic butterflies, birds, plants, and insects. You can spend an casual hour here or spend an entire afternoon. It is in an amazing location which is also a park you can walk in. We came when tickets were 50% off so it ended up being more economical than most admission-based attractions in the area.

Review №31

A little bit pricey, but they are currently doing 50% admission fees. Had a lot more to experience than we expected. There is a small area where you can see lorikeets and pay $2 for the handler to give you some nectar and have the birds fly on you. Keep in mind, there is few indoor areas, and they are not heavily air conditioned, so be sure to bring water to hydrate in the florida sun.

We loved it. So many beautiful colors of butterflies in constant flight all around you as you stroll through. Also pretty birds in the bird area. We spent a leisurely two hours but you can go at a faster pace if you want. Easy walking. Nice gift shop but I think prices were high. They have a snack shop. There is a nice park and I wish we had taken a picnic lunch and chairs.

What an amazing place, especially if you like butterflies, bugs, birds, birds and more birds. Did I mention birds? Also, the parakeet experience is great, they eat right out of your hand for an extra dollar. Stop by and support the people who work here and support the butterflies.

Review №39

This is by far one of the most amazing places Ive ever visited that allowed me to see so many different types of butterflies. There are so many and they are all so beautiful. I also recommend visiting the lorikeets and feeding them nectar. It is a lot of fun and the birds are very friendly. If you are in the area you must come here or youre doing yourself a disservice. Also make sure to bring your camera or a backup battery pack for your phone because you will want to take lots and lots of pictures.

This is definitely a hidden jewel. What a great place for anyone but especially families. What a beautiful place. The butterflies and all the flowers are gorgeous. The have bird aviaries too and a bug museum of live and preserved bugs. About an hour and a half is fair but there are benches throughout if you want to pause longer here and there.

This is a great place to take the whole family. Great sites and beautiful surroundings. Plants and trees Ive never seen before and believe it or not the food isnt half bad! During the year they have lots of cool concerts and Christmas season they have the light festival that is out of this world. Take a date, take the kids or both!

This place is amazing! So much to see, so much to do! Our family loves the Butterfly World! The staff are so friendly and pay attention to all the details, to ensure that the park and all of its guests are happy and having a good experience. We came here many years ago, and now came back as a family, and we loved it then, and we love it now!! Highly recommended, well worth the entry fee!!

We took my granddaughter here and it is simply wonderful. Unfortunately it was one of the hottest days so beware, take water! They have a must tunnel that helps with the heat and the insect world is indoors with AC. The gift shop is VERY reasonably priced so souvenirs for little ones are available.

Its a nice way to spend your Saturday!! Theres is a lot of information about the butterflies and a nice collection of flowers. There is a cafeteria to grab a quick bite or something to drink and of course a gift shop. I just think its a bit overpriced at $30 dls x adult.

Astonishing varieties of butterflies in beautiful samples of native biomes. You could race through the exhibits, but dont. This is definitely a slow strolling, if not just sitting and absorbing the whole atmosphere. Think meditation, Zen.

My girlfriend had a tradition of coming here on her birthday as a kid, but now she’s in collage(entomology lol) away from here. It’s been a few years since we went, but this year we started the tradition anew! It was just as lovely, if not better, than I remembered! Wonderfully friendly staff, beautiful gardens, good food, and a fun gift shop! I would and already do recommend this to everyone!

I left with a peaceful state of mind. Gardens are full of a variety of butterflies flying around you. So cute! Interacting with birds in a natural habitat while you sit & listen & enjoy their blissful chirping is so relaxing. Theres a museum of insects, a snack bar, gift shop, they sell plants, restrooms are clean, wheelchair accessibility throughout the gardens, employees are informative and pleasant to talk to. Strongly recommend. The kids will love this place and so will you. I spent only 2hrs there (end of day) & didnt notice how quickly time passed.

I loved this place! Excellent learning experience with or without children. Loved seeing the butterflies roaming around in a beautiful enclosure as well as the birds they are well taken care of. Plants and the different species of flowers are unique. They also had a insect exhibit. This place is open rain or shine..70% of this exhibit is outdoors, so be aware you will be walking!!!!

Amazing experience ! We arrived at 3:30pm on Sunday, the entrance closes at 4pm and the actual World closes at 5pm. It was perfect timing because there was almost no people and not crowded. Saw a lot of pretty butterflies and was feeding parrots.The only thing I didn’t like is that I had to pay $4 to get into the park first and then another $32 for the entrance to the World. (There could be at least a discount or validation of park entrance)....

Review №72

This place does not respect its customers and does not care about their health at all. I came there with my two kids (3 and 5 years old), they both have a medical condition which makes them excempt from mask wearing. However, the manager threaten to expell us from the property if my kids did not wear a mask. She followed us through the garden like a policei and waited until my kids put the masks on. By the way it was 90 gedrees outside. It was so much stress for my kids! They were struggling with breathing and asked me to go home. They were not able to enjoy the garden at all because they were suffocating in the mask. It was supposed to be a fun day, but ridiculous rules ruined it. I felt discriminated in this place. They do not care a dime about people with medical conditions.

Review №74

First you have to pay to get into the park where this is located. Then the admission for butterfly world is close to $30 per person and they dont even have a senior discount. Ive been to other butterfly house/pavilions, this admission price is insane! I would have loved to see it but apparently they dont want seniors/retired person. For example the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory is $10.75 for adults and $9.68 for seniors.

This is one of my favorite places to visit in South Florida to find a couple hours of zen. Every time I go I feel so relaxed from walking around the butterfly aviary and listening to the music while taking photos. This place is truly a must for anyone who loves butterflys and birds. If you live in the area and think you may visit more than once, I would recommend an annual pass. Two visits pay for the pass. Weekends can get busy, especially around holidays. You also have to pay a park entrance fee on the weekends, so it does slightly increase your cost. There is also a quick service restaurant and great gift shop to spend a little extra time in.

Peaceful and beautiful, glad i came. You can take your time and really read the information of each flower/plant/butterflies/insects and birds. All ages can enjoy. For $2 you can feed the lories and lorikeets, they come up right to your arm. Very gentle birds.

It’s was okay for a first time visit but I wouldn’t be going back for a second go..... the place was a bit unorganized in a way but definitely not really stroller friendly as this type of place should be set up for families. My 3 yr old was pretty much over it after we made it past the register he was intrigued for the first area and then it was just nearly impossible to get around we ended up wasting money and just leaving because people were trying to push us out the way.

It is a very nice place, it is perfect for children, although it is not a very big place, you can spend a pleasant time learning together with your children. The staff is very friendly and collaborative, they have taken very good precautions with Covid 19 and the bathrooms and the food area are very clean and the souvenir shop is varied

Super cool place to see exotic butterflies, insects, birds, and flowers. So many cool critters landed all over me. Highly recommend the bird feeding for $2. They climb all over your arms to get to a little cup of nectar. Jason, in the garden sales area, was supremely helpful and full of knowledge. We converted to a yearly membership and will be back!

This is a must do if your in the area. We visit once every year while on vacation and it never gets old. Nice display of exotic butterflies which fly and land on you while walking through. Theres also birds and flowers throughout. Great place to shoot video with the family and spend part of your day. You go through at your own pace and the overall experience is very relaxing. Their gift shop is first rate and parking is easy. One of the highlights is entering a cage where you can buy a small cup of nectar for $1 and the small birds land on you to drink.

Beautiful, beautiful garden. Went for my birthday and absolutely enjoyed it. I love everything about Butterfly World.

Magical!!! I would go everyday if it wasnt so pricey. I loved it! The staff could be more friendly. The guy with the birds was so detached towards my family and I, We paid to feed the birds and had to stand there listening to him gossip to a friend about nonsense while he ignored my family and I. Thankfully we were having such a good time his attitude couldnt ruin it. the staff definitely needs work or replacement but otherwise worth the money...
