Spanning three acres of screened tropical aviaries, lush botanical gardens, and cascading waterfalls, the park is home to more than 20,000 live, free-flying butterflies representing over 50 species from around the globe. Children are entranced as brilliant iridescent blue morphos and giant swallowtails flutter right around them and sip nectar from flowering blossoms. Beyond butterflies, kids can hand-feed sweet nectar cups to colorful rainbow lorikeets in the Lorikeet Encounter, marvel at hummingbirds in the Jewel of the Sky aviary, and explore the Bug Zoo and outdoor suspension bridge. Strollers are easily maneuvered along the brick pathways. Outside the butterfly facility, Tradewinds Park offers steam train rides on select weekends, pony rides, farm animal pastures, and spacious picnic grounds. ## Similar picks in Miami - [Holiday Fantasy of Lights at Tradewinds Park](https://grassyknees.com/miami/activities/holiday-fantasy-of-lights-at-tradewinds-park--listing-43c7eea1520436ea93f4ce12) — Nov 21 – Jan 2 · 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Tradewinds Park (North Entrance), Coconut Creek · All ages · From $34 · checked Nov 4.
