Butterfly World Florida Review
Butterfly World Florida
An iridescent Blue Morpho butterfly flutters by, alighting to sip a little nectar from a flower. It then raises its delicate wings, takes flight and lands–on your nose. This happens every day at year-round butterfly centers across the country. Even when it’s winter outside, it’s spring inside these conservatories where thousands of butterflies fly freely in climate-controlled environments.
The best time to visit these conservatories is during the morning when the butterflies are most active and when new butterflies emerge from their chrysalises. To observe and learn more about these delicate creatures, visit the Butterfly World in Coconut Creek, Florida.

Butterfly World is not just a house for butterflies, it’s a whole park devoted to butterflies, birds and botanicals. You can also feed fish, swing on a suspension bridge and sniff fragrant flowers. While the Tropical Rainforest offers the largest gathering of butterflies–5,000 of them–don’t miss the Tropical Rainforest Aviary where butterflies lay their eggs on clearly marked plants. Touch the “sensitive plants” in the Hanging Garden and Butterfly Emerging Area–the plants fold their leaves at the slightest touch. Click here for more information or call 954-977-4400.
