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.

Really cool place to bring the kids, but they would get five stars if their prices werent so steep. Kids loved seeing the butterflies up close

Went here to try the on site cafe. Food portions were very large for the prices. Friendly service. Was a wet day so didn't take the opportunity to look at the various attractions. Free parking too.

Good place to take kids. Cool crocodiles and cool dinosaur exhibits! Also has a train ride and opportunity to hold and feed cute little animals. Best of all, the butterfly house!

We had gone there for office Christmas party and it was great fun. Can't remember what it is called - but they had a small monkey like creature and it was fun to see him. There is a room - which is full of butterflies - stand still for a while and you might find butterflies sitting upon you :-)
Good place to take your kids!

This is a fantastic place to visit. Great for families. It is expensive (for a larger family) with admission + food as you cant take your own in. But, I would still definitely recommend. My kids loved the butterflies, dinosaurs & the crocodiles.
