Amidst thousands of flowers, tropical plants, waterfalls, gardens, and classical music, Butterfly World is a unique, breath-taking site that is one of Florida’s leading tourist attractions. It is typically home to 80 butterfly species from South and Central America, the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, and other Asian nations. Some of the favorites include the Owl butterfly, and the brilliant Blue Morpho.

Enter a world of fantasy in the Secret Garden. Make your way through the maze-like vine-covered canopy that houses one of the largest collections of flowering Passion Vines in the world today. Discover beautiful statuary, giant Dutchman’s Pipe blossoms and even a wishing fountain. Hanging bunches of lavender flowers, the trademark blooms of the elegant Sky Vine, can be found throughout. Don’t forget to look above the canopy to enjoy their native butterflies, feeding on the blooms above.
