Butterfly World gives Broward, Palm Beach or Dade county educators 25% off up to six tickets when they show a valid school ID. The FAQ page words it as “Broward, Palm Beach or Dade county educators (public or private school employees),” so it’s a South Florida offer and teachers in other counties aren’t named.
Butterfly World sits inside Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek, and the FAQ page is the one place the educator line shows up, which makes it easy to miss. Bring your school ID with you and you won’t have anything to set up beforehand.
How To Get The Butterfly World Teacher Discount
Show your valid school ID when you buy your tickets. The plan your visit page says all tickets are available in person upon arrival, so there’s no code to enter and nothing to book online first. The discount covers up to six tickets, which leaves room for your family or a few colleagues.
The FAQ page also says the highest discount you’re eligible for will always be given, and that discounts and coupons may not be combined, so don’t count on stacking the educator offer with another one.
Who Counts As An Educator
The wording is county educators who are public or private school employees, and the thing you show is a valid school ID. The page doesn’t list grade levels, certification or years of service, and the only proof it names is the school ID.
The same FAQ answer lists two other discounts. AAA members get 15% off up to six tickets when purchased together, with a current membership card, and active or retired military members get 25% off for their entire party with proof of active duty or military status. It also carries a note that Butterfly World doesn’t give discounts to seniors, students or Florida residents, so living in the state isn’t enough on its own.
Bringing A Class
A class trip runs on its own rates, listed on the group rates page. The one-hour guided tour is $12.00 for adults and $10.00 for children, Monday through Friday only, and it’s the exclusive option for school and camp field trips. The page lists 1 free chaperone per 10 paid children. Each tour takes up to 30 people, children and adults together, and tours depart every 15 minutes.
Reservations are first come, first served and need to be made at least two weeks in advance, and the page recommends calling 954-977-4434 as soon as possible. No deposit is required. Its tip for teachers is to book spring field trips at the beginning of the school year, and for 100 or more children it says to reserve at the beginning of the school year as well.
The page says coupons, annual passes and other special offers aren’t applicable toward tour group rates. Homeschool and scout groups have their own set of options on the same page, and coupons, discounts and memberships don’t apply to those either.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
The admission prices on the plan your visit page don’t show up in the page text we could read, so we can’t tell you what 25% takes off a ticket. The FAQ doesn’t say whether the educator discount applies to a class tour, and the group page says special offers don’t apply to tour group rates, so ask when you call.
The FAQ says county educators who are public or private school employees, but it doesn’t spell out whether the county of your school or the county where you live is what counts, and it doesn’t say whether homeschool educators qualify. It writes the third county as Dade, not Miami-Dade. The Discount Coupon page on the site had no text for us to read, so we can’t say whether it carries a different offer.
Q&A
Does Butterfly World have a teacher discount?
Yes, for Broward, Palm Beach or Dade county educators who are public or private school employees. The FAQ lists 25% off for up to six tickets when they show a valid school ID.
Do I have to buy tickets online first?
No. The plan your visit page says all tickets are available in person upon arrival.
Can I use the educator discount with AAA or another coupon?
The FAQ says no discounts or coupons may be combined, and that the highest discount you are eligible for will always be given.
I teach outside those three counties. Can I still get it?
The FAQ names only Broward, Palm Beach and Dade county educators, so we can’t say it applies to you. Ask at the ticket window or call 954-977-4434.
How much does a school field trip cost?
The group rates page lists the one-hour guided tour at $12.00 for adults and $10.00 for children, with 1 free chaperone per 10 paid children.
How far ahead do I book a class?
At least two weeks ahead, and the page recommends calling as soon as possible. For 100 or more children, it says to reserve at the beginning of the school year.
