Fern Forest is just south of Atlantic Blvd. on Lyons Road, easy to pass by if you go too fast. It is worth a visit, just to see what the area may have looked like before all the development. It is the remnant of a lumber operation earlier in the last century. You can spot many native plant species, butterflies,... More

Nice boardwalk and trails with shade on a hot day . Saw lots of butterflies, and a raccoon. Friendly staff who were helpful

Almost 250 natural acres in the midst of South Florida sprawl. I took my 86 year old Mom, who's lived in Broward County for 33 years and never knew it existed.

We were a party of 4 adults when we visited this site in February 2013. Unfortunately, we were unable to stay very long and savor everything this Nature park had to offer since it was near to closing time.

We went during the dry season so the bugs weren't bad and it wasn't wet in too many places. Saw some great butterflies but not much else as far as wildlife goes. They... More

Nice to find a quite place with diverse plant life. Place is loaded with butterflies. Staff is very helpful. A good place to spend a quite afternoon.

An excellent trail system and boardwalks plus a huge nature center. A must-see! Bring insect repellent in summer though.

I often drive by this park, but never stopped until recently. I was pleasantly surprised by the improvements. There is a very nice boardwalk to see the native area up close. It had been raining a lot when I visited and the paths that are not raised were quite wet. However, it is a natural area and I would expect... More
