Butterfly World, Zoo and botanical garden in Coconut Creek, Florida.

Butterfly World is a butterfly park in Tradewinds Park, Coconut Creek, Florida, with aviaries such as the Paradise Adventure Aviary, which has fountains and ponds, and the Tropical Rain Forest Aviary, which contains a waterfall and free-flying birds. The Hanging Garden displays hanging pupae and emerging butterflies, and the Wings of the World Secret Garden holds a large collection of passion flower vines.

The facility opened in 1988 and was the first of its kind in North America dedicated to housing butterflies and conducting research. It was established with a focus on conservation and breeding programs for butterfly species.

Passiflora Society International was founded at Butterfly World to share research on passion flowers, the host plants of many butterflies. The Wings of the World Secret Garden holds one of the largest collections of flowering passion flower vines anywhere. Visitors can watch the laboratory where eggs, caterpillars and pupae are raised.

Butterfly World sits inside Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek, Florida, so it is reached by car via the park entrance. Opening hours run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, except Sunday, when the gates open at 11 a.m. The aviaries are warm and humid, so light clothing helps.

Ronald Boender, a retired electrical engineer, founded the facility after meeting Clive Farrell, owner of the London Butterfly House, on a 1985 trip to England. Their partnership produced a site that is at once a public attraction, a research facility and a butterfly farm. The Passiflora Society International was established here to share research on passion flowers, whose leaves feed many of the caterpillars.
