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 take young kids as there is so much to see and do! Staff are all helpful and friendly too. Croc feeding time is a must see, a great family day out and great value for money

The only place in NZ you can see giant salt water crocs! They now have a lot of other attractions and even rides. A great fun day out for any one young and young at heart

Amazing place for the kids stopped by as soon as we got our rental car, did cost a bit more than expected, but honestly was great we loved the memo fish and the butterflies are just so incrediable, the crocs were super lazy but worth taking a look they are interesting animals

Great theme parks for kids and their parents. A train, animals to pet and feed, good cafe, butterflies and crocodiles, my kids love everything here. A half day outing I would say
