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 mix of things to see and do for all the family. The new dinosaur attraction is very Jurassic Park like.

The kids totally enjoyed this park! There is so much to see in such a little place. Make sure you check on the website for the times that they show case some of the animals they have on display as you get up close and personal with them. We managed to touch a taranchula! The butterflies fly around you and land everywhere and are just beautiful to observe for all ages! Ample parking aswell. The team of workers are awesome and answer all questions the kids have. There is a neat little gift shop on site aswell as a cafe. Must see on the to do list

A great place for a day out. Lots to do and see here with animals to feed, rides, crocodiles and a great butterfly area to walk though. Lots of fun.
