      General Info

      Butterfly Creek are proud to host NZ's only giant saltwater crocodiles - the world's apex predators. Complimenting these reptiles is our magnificent tropical butterfly house, cotton-top tamarins and other reptiles such as the bearded dragon and alligators. We also host NZ's giant wetapunga - one of the world's largest insects and an aquaria and bugs exhibit including tarantulas. Beside the courtyard and playground, take a wee train ride around the new Dinosaur Kingdom that opened in Jan 2014 - see the dinosaurs come to life! Last but not least is Buttermilk farm where you can get up close and personal with the cute and cuddly animals. Butterfly Creek hosts fantastic all-inclusive children's parties and we run a behind the scenes Junior Keeper programme for those animal lovers. Animal encounters occur daily and we are open every day except Xmas & Boxing day and we are 50% undercover so don't let the rain put you off! We are situated 2 minutes from the Airport and provide a free shuttle service to and from the airport.

      Great place to visit for adults and children alike. Only downside is that it is a little out of the way and traffic can get quite bad if you dont plan well

      Came here a few weeks ago with my daughter, was a bit pricey but we really enjoyed it. Beautiful butterfly house and had fun watching the crocks. Plenty to see and do, friendly staff, cafe was average.

      A thoroughly enjoyable outing for young and old. Firstly, it is easy to find and has ample parking. The butterfly house is really well laid out, easy to navigate with a pushchair and has enough space that you're not fighting with the crowd to see the butterflies or interact. Helpful and knowledgeable staff on site to answer any questions. Cafe was reasonably priced and, again, plenty of room even when busy. Our toddler had a great time and we will be back again soon.
