Butterfly World at Tradewinds Park is nice. You are inside and butterflies of every species are flying all around. There are only two of these in North America, the othere being outside of Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. kids love it.

Tradewinds Park is probably my favorite park in Broward County! There is a lot of open space...places to hang out...playground areas...horseback riding and my favorite of all, Butterfly World! This park really has something for everyone!

I really can't believe they charge $25 a person for this place. It must be to pay for all the signs. There are giant billboards everywhere and signs on every corner. Not worth it.

We like Tradewinds Park very much. They have many picnic areas and a great playground with a padded ground for comfort.

There isn't as much to do on week days as the pony rides aren't open. The playground area was sort of small but we walked around and looked at the petting zoo (also not open) and the horses that were across the way.

I like to go every year for the holiday lights. Butterfly World is also located there, another great reason to visit.

It was extremely expensive for two adults and two children. It didn't offer enough for the money and the children weren't excited or enthused. It was a total rip-off and I would not recommend it to anyone.

This park is HUGE! I got lost here a few years ago, but that's not a problem its a good thing. There is a mountain bike trail that goes through the park and there are benches throughout the entire park to picnic and places to just relax and enjoy nature. There could be better signs for the trails though.
