Butterfly fanciers may know Coconut Creek as the Butterfly Capital of the World. Butterfly World, which calls the Broward County community home, is the largest butterfly park in the world. It houses hummingbirds and other tropical birds, and serves as a center for education and research, as well as entertainment. Even outside the gates of Butterfly World, Coconut Creek is known for its attractive environment – landscaped public spaces, scenic parks, and picturesque waterways. Indeed, the city is a certified Community Wildlife Habitat that has been honored repeatedly for excellence in community planning.
