Butterfly World

Butterfly World, located near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offers a tropical adventure in the world’s largest butterfly house and bird park. It was the first butterfly house in the United States, opening its doors in March 1988. Butterfly World features include butterfly aviaries, botanical gardens, and a working butterfly farm and research center.

Visitors can wander through six outdoor aviaries, screened in, where they will find over 20,000 live butterflies and free-flying tropical birds. Explore the Jewels of the Sky Aviary and the Tropical Bird Aviary to see a variety of domestic, rare, and exotic birds. In the Lorikeet Encounter, you can even feed birds right out of your hand.

Immerse yourself in a blooming garden paradise that boasts one of the world’s largest collections of flowering plants, vines, and trees collections. Butterfly World also educates guests on butterfly conservation and the efforts to create a butterfly garden.

Butterfly World is situated on the south side of Tradewinds Park but operates as a separate facility. The park is open seven days a week, weather permitting, since many exhibits are primarily outdoors. The butterflies and birds are active on sunny, warm days, providing excellent dynamic photos and videos. Butterfly World is a hidden gem that offers a delightful experience for guests of all ages.
