Butterfly World

Butterfly World is an area in Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek, FL with "Butterfly Houses" which are enclosed by walls with roofs made of netting. It is beautifully done with tropical plants on which the butterflies can rest and nectar. Colorful tropical birds are also present, which makes for an even more enjoyable visit. One can see as many as fifty different butterflies in any one visit and if revisitation continues for about a year one can expect to see up to 150 different species.
