The butterfly world was founded in 1988, by Ronald Boender. It was just his fascination of butterflies that bought him to visualize such a beautiful creature’s existence and display it to the world.

He was bought up in Illinois, and moved to Florida after completing a successful career in electrical engineering in 1968. He learned of attractions called the Butterfly houses being setup in UK and travelled to England to investigate it. He met Clive Farrell the originator of Butterfly houses. They came in partnership to design a park that was to be a public attraction first and foremost with various facilities as research and education.

The park in years to come expanded to include the country’s free-flight humming bird aviary a lorikeet encounter, skilled aviculture research and care facilities. The butterfly world has been instrumental in saving some endangered species of butterflies.

You can visit it in Coconut Creek, Florida.
