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.

Amazing attraction located so close to airport. We had plenty time before flight so decided to take the kids here and totally dont regret it. Well worth the money spent on entry. So much to see and do

Lovely day out. We called here on our way to catch our flight. So convenient to the Auckland airport. Prices were expensive but good value for money. Kids loved it

This is a great place for the kids. The playground is awesome and the train ride is always a hit. There are lots of things to see even if the entry price is quite expensive.
