      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.

      A great place to see some beautiful butterflies. Luckily, we went on a sunny day and there were many things to see. Enjoyed the place and staff were very friendly too.

      Been to Butterfly Creek several times and loved the butterflies they have. Great information and if you stand still long enough the butterflies will land on you - great for pictures. The restaurant is pricey and they have plastic dinosaurs outside which is interesting for the kids.

      Nice place to take your kids. Their dinosaurs park and train ride is very appealing.
