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 activity to take the kids to. Interaction with animals and a place to relax either outside or indoors at the cafe for the adults as well.

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

awesome place to visit with the kids, the crocodiles are amazing, and the guys working with them are great. The butterfly area is just beautiful, very warm but absolutely stunning. Having butterflies land on you as you walk around is so cool, the kids were just thrilled to bits

We took our daughter here recently and to our surprise, we enjoyed it as much as she did! There's plenty to see and do, and although we didn't eat there, quite a few dining options, too.
