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.

One of the best kids attractions that I've been to in Auckland, loads of stuff for everyone, loved the indoor butterfly house loads of really colourful butterflies that land on you and we enjoyed the train too. Great location, staff and reasonable prices.

Over priced for what is there. In terms of butterfly encounters it has nothing on Dunedin museum. More suited to toddlers than older children.

This place promises an awesome time for kids of all ages, the close encounter with butterflies is awesome, you'd never want to leave!
Farm animals are also cute & u can get creative with the camera at the dinosaurs kingdom
