Butterfly Creek

My granddaughter (aged 4) and I had a great time at Butterfly Creek. We arrived in time to see the crocodiles being fed. There are a lot more exhibits since the last time I went, which was about 10 years ago. The adventure playground is a great interlude for little ones to burn off some energy. The train ride is always a hit. The cafe is lovely. It’s very special to be able to feed the goats & pat the rabbits. All in all, a wonderful day was had - highly recommend!

Great day for the whole family

We got to Butterfly creek on opening. Checking in was super easy. All staff from those at the check in desk to the keepers on site were awesome. We had a lady who looked after the meerkats spend time to explain the meerkat's stories to us. My boys 2 & 4 loved the fish tanks with the fish especially Dory & Nemo and the bunny you could pat. The highlight of the whole family was the butterfly enclosure and the crocodiles. Such a great day out for the family.
