Butterfly World offers an immersion in nature as thousands of colorful butterflies dash and flit and alight around in a lush tropical setting. We found these gentle encounters mesmerizing - unlike those very few reviewers who reported being able to walk through the place in 10 minutes. If getting to the other side is your life mission, you will miss the point of being there. We found the informative botanical exhibits absorbing and enjoyed the flower gardens, aviaries (from finches to macaws), museum exhibits of butterflies and moths and gift shop. The staff is courteous, friendly and open to questions. We especially appreciated the educational and science missions of Butterfly World. If you factor these critical missions into the admission price, it is a bargain and one of Florida’s most memorable attractions.

We parked here in order to take the Cypress Creek bike trail. Decided to explore the park after our ride. Park is beautiful and well taken care of. We stayed on the boardwalk to explore and had lunch on one of the picnic benches. Super relaxing and shady park. Definitely will return.

The Christmas lights used to be free and few cars bothered. Now it is $20 a car. You do not leave your car so it was ahead of its time now that Covid makes human interaction negative. a We got there around 6:05 pm, took 20 minutes to enter and pay and a half hour to see all.
