Fern Forest Nature Center

Located in near-by Coconut Creek – a short drive from Coral Springs – is the Fern Forest Nature Center. This magnificent is an unspoiled 247.1-acre Designated Urban Wilderness Area. It takes its name from the abundance of more than 30 species of ferns that are found here. Also here are over 200 species of plants, and has drawn the interest of scientists from local higher learning centers. Be welcomed as you walk on the Entrance Boardwalk, which covers a two-to-three minutes scenic walk from the parking lot. Be sure and stop at the informational kiosk here. The Exhibit Hall is a must-do as it includes interpretive exhibits of the park's historical and natural history and also displays of native reptiles. And there is so much more. Take advantage of Royal Fern Hall with its expansive assembly hall with warming kitchen and buffet counter. Great for meetings, receptions and more. And perhaps it might be suitable to even consider holding a wedding at the facility's amphitheater. Call for a reservation
