Not only does Butterfly World have a very good collection of butterflies it also has a substantial bird aviary,a good collection of flowering plants and a bug zoo . The butterfly house and bird aviary are in separate buildings and are attractions by themselves. The flowering plant collection and bug zoo are just added bonuses. There is the mandatory gift shop which has a nice selection and a plant nursery with a variety of items for sale.
It is worth the trip to Coconut Creek just off the Florida Turnpike.

Nice regional theater that features excellent talent and fun shows. Theater itself could use a little updating but they put out first rate productions. Their most recent production of Saturday Night Fever was chock-full of fun, lively numbers, great humor and beautiful music & dancing....MoreThanks you Cindy, we really appreciate your support and review!

It’s nice to take a stroll on their boardwalk. Their are a few nicely places restaurants where you can stop and have a drink or enjoy a meal. Off the boardwalk but on the beach there are a few volleyball nets where you can join in on a game. Bring a chair and enjoy the waves and scenery. It’s very relaxing. Enjoy

I love the Promenade. It's been such a great addition to Coconut Creek. It's a place people can meet up to eat, browse, get pampered, or catch a movie. Whenever I have guests in from out of town I bring them over and they never fail to be impressed.
For entertainment one of my favorite places is the Silverspot. They have $8 movies on Tuesdays. The chairs are over sized and comfy. You can even have the restaurant there bring food and alcoholic beverages to your seat.
Also on Tuesdays you can get the $5 burger at Bar Louie a few doors down. The have a half priced appetizer and $5 martini happy between 5 and 7. The restaurants range from the upscale like Ethos Greek Bistro to the casual Rubios Coastal grill. If you like an adult beverage World of Beer is a fun and casual spot to meet up with friends to grab a cold one. Cooper's Hawk Winery is a recent addition to the Promenade catering to wine lovers. Starbucks will satisfy you caffeine craving while Cold Stone Creamery is a great place to grab desert.
I never fail to get a great haircut at Pyure. They give you a hand massage with lotion with your cut. It is so relaxing. I hit up European Wax when I need eyebrow shaping.
The Promenade is a great place to get a unique gift. When I want to gift costume jewelry or a cute bag I head over to Charming Charlie. I could easily kill an hour browsing that store. Pizazz has one of a kind and affordable gifts for anyone on your list. It's Sugar is another great store to pick up a gift. They have so many unique candies as well as novelty items.
The Promenade has wide sidewalks and plenty of parking. You can either park in the garage or if you are talented enough there is parallel parking in front of the shops. The landscaping is extremely well kept up. There is a very nice fountain at the entrance on Lyons Road. You will never see garbage on the streets and everything looks very pristine. I always feel safe leaving my car as I often see security circling around. There is something for everyone and it's a great spot to meet up with a friend. In addition they often have events during the holidays. A full listing of events as well as job openings can be found on their website.
5. Tall Cypress Natural Area

Reviewed By Carol757 - Springfield, VA
This small park was one of the last areas of undisturbed cypress swamp in the county, and it was preserved, apparently, through the efforts of a group of local high school students. Kudos to them. Walking the boardwalk through the swamp allows you to see what Florida looked like before all the development that has taken place. We mostly saw butterflies and geckos on our walk, but it may have been the time of day that we went. It was definitely worth the brief stop.

I used to go to a different nail salon and they sold the business.. I asked if my manicurist was still working there and they said no...so I went because Im a loyal customer and was going there for years... terrible..nothing like my old nail tech..
So I started searching for a new nail salon... I came across Sunny Nails.. I was greeted by Tina.. aka the nail doc...she did a tremendous job.. she asked how I like my nails cut, filed, etc... and the massage... wow...This is the second time I went.. and now I am a loyal customer...
Thanks Tina..
