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.

Enjoyed visiting Buttefly Creek, the butterfly area was great and the butterfly were beautiful. The outside area with the dinosaurs felt dated and could do with more things to do. The restaurant was a little expensive and the food took a while to come out. The butterflies were the best part of the day and worth the whole visit. Definitely recommend taking your time in the butterfly area as there are so many different butterflies.

Great discounts for special needs kids (term time only, Mon-Fri). We love the train and petting / feeding the barnyard animals. Also the quiet dark aquarium area.

Conference room booking - I have been here a number of times and the venue has always been good for the booking. Room overlooking site, not distracting, good food, well organised venue. Works well for bookings up to maybe 30 people. Machien coffee a bit ho hum, but proper coffe available at aextra cost.

Always a great day's outing. Lots of different options and kids always enjoy their day. Dinosaurs and train ride being their favourite. Slightly expensive but worth it.
