"More butterflies can be seen in a short period of time and space for free. Enjoy."
"Beautiful but hard to enjoy due to being bitten up by SO many mosquitoes!! Terrible place to build a butterfly garden (in the swamp). Would love to see somewhere else without swamp. Bring bug spray!"
"Love this place! So peaceful, tons of beautiful butterflies"
"Larger than I expected. Alot of flower variations. Not at many butterflies as I expected in a garden this big, and a lot of variaty of butterflies. As soon as you walk into the garden you can tell alot of effort was put into the plant selection and layout. The only two things i would add is labels for the plants to know how to replicate this plant selection in out own backyards and better signs to know which way to drive once you are inside the park. April 2019 Update: revisited this garden and I was impressed with how it has been maintained and how it has grown. I saw even more butterflies this second time. And I had the great fortune of speaking with two of the park employees who expanded my knowledge. I am very grateful to the employees and this amazing park."
"Best Butterfly garden in Broward. Always new and beautiful plants and artwork. Lots of different butterflies and so very peaceful."
