Brilliant for a little adrenaline and the staff are really nice
We had a great day here.. being able to go around as menu times as u like is the bonus..!
Greta time. Thanks heaps. Loved the course options.
Great place to bring the kids, the encounters are great fun and awesome to see and you learn a bit too, the staff are super friendly. Plenty of parking as well. You can spend the entire day here with just looking around to going and seeing the farm animals and also they have a great cafe on site too! Definately recommend coming here with Kids!
Took myself, two toddlers, brother & sister. We enjoyed ourselves with different exhibits and the staff were great! Wasn’t too expensive either which was awesome. Will definitely be back again, kiddies loved it ✨
Beautiful course. Picturesque and unique. Choice of 2 rounds. Took the Captain’s Challenge. Next time we will try the other one! Holes mostly par 2. Very doable. Had a bit of a wait getting served. Had to call a mobile number. A bit difficult if one didn’t have a mobile. All in all a fun morning. Will be back.
Book me site could of had that open times are 9.30am and didn’t face to be there at 9.30am, as slots for bookings were timed and slots taken at 11am. Travels from Cambridge and didn’t realise didn’t have to leave so early and had someone who could of come
Highly recommend this place, easy access for prams, lots of cute Dino’s, good food and friendly farm animals
It was very enjoyable for my daughters 6th birthday , managed to finish our trip just before the rain started. I just wish there were some food bags left as we went to go get some and the people before us purchased 6 bags and left none for the rest of us waiting with our kids. Should maybe be a limit one per person/feeder.
It was great day for kid. All the other kids were enjoying too. Remember to wear loose summer clothing as some encounters are really hot and humid. We all liked this experience and will be back for more. Thank you.
Not so many butterflies this visit, but many other critters to enjoy. The kids loved the aquariums and had fun spotting the camouflaged geckos along with getting hands on with the friendly rabbits, alpacas and goats. A highlight was watching the otters having a family swim (we missed their feeding time), and a chat with the keeper of the exotic birds where we learnt about the different personalities. The crocodile feeding was also a big hit with the family and Goldie entertained us well. With a good selection of food that's not too expensive, and plenty of room to social distance, I would definitely recommend it as a great place to visit with your family.
Wow. So much has changed and added to the aquarium and the 🐊 🐊 have grown si much bigger and larger. The last time time we was there. When a baby crocodile just been born. And was his,her birthday.as we made it I'm time. Yummie cake it was. An now was sad to see less butterflies 🦋 thou. But never mind.. the whole experience was 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 🆒️ 👌
Such a cool place to visit. Great for ammateur wildlife photographers like me. Friendly knowledgeable staff ensured enjoyable encounters with the wildlife and tame life (farmyard animals). Loved the butterflies, saltwater croc feeding, fish, fossils... Impressive animated dinosaurs are lots of fun for kids of all ages. The only negative is that the food was overly expensive. I am on a tight budget so it was great to get a half price deal through bookme. If you do this you might be able to afford something to eat lol. I couldn't make it on the day I booked due to a bereavement but was able to change my booking to another day without any problem.
Our 5 year old granddaughter had a ball. She loved the butterflies
Fantastic place - my 3 year old had the best 2 hours! Place is well maintained and many things to look at. Train is a must do and adds to the experience too
Our first visit. My three year old had a wonderful day. We rode the train, walked around. I think her favourite part was Buttermilk Farm and meeting Lil. Followed closely by the aquariums and crocodiles.
Kids loved it!
Fun for all ages reminds me of Rainbow Springs....So many things for our tamariki
Lots of adventures for the kids. Love the walking Dino too!
Quite easy to get there. We preferred not to use SkyBus because it's too expensive ($18 per person) if you go from CBD by bus. We took a bus to Onehunga Train Station ($3.10 per person) and from there the bus No.380 ($1.80). All the trip took one and a half hour. In short: we spent a very nice time. Butterfly Creek isn't a big park but this is more than enough to spend a few wonderful hours in there. Butterfly Creek staff were very friendly. Food in Butterfly Creek Cafe was, surprisingly, in a great many varieties and the prices were reasonable. We would definitely recommend Butterfly Creek to visit, especially, with kids.
So Dinosaur park! Flying dragoons! Room full of butterflys. Kids favorite! Train ride is fantastic just don't know the reason for separate ticket!
Both families had fun at butterfly creek kids spent lots of time playing inside the dinosaur egg.
Is a very nice park to go. Kids have lot of fun. And cafe with many choices of food too. Will recommend to family and friends
Absolutely LOVED our experience. Although it was rainging, we still had soooo much fun. I didn’t realise how amaaazing butterfly creek really is. Definitely recommend it, perfect for all ages.
Wow what an amazing place so much on offer! And the kids and the adults enjoyed it. Great array of animals/reptiles/butterflies. Must do if u haven’t! We will be going back!
I went with my Family. 3 adults, a 4yo and a baby (8m). We have been to Butterfly Creek quite a few times and this time we were disappointed with a few things (likely changes due to Covid): -the cafe a la carte menu is significantly reduced, with only very basic options -the farm indoor section is closed off, so no petting of the little animals. However, this was made up with the friendly staff at the ticket counter and the guy in the farm area bringing around the goat to pet (and feed). Also being Friday meant there was hardly anyone there, so free to roam around without waiting for anything (a bonus in these Covid times). Will probably go again once the porcupine and meerkats are there.
We enjoyed our visit and had a great experience to the many exhibitions they have. Butterfly were rarely seen sadly but we love the kiwi house and the entrance through the aquarium.
Stated on website that covid is impacting the importing of butterflies so we were prepared that there wouldn't be many on display compared to previous visits. However there is so much to see and do at Butterfly Creek, aquariums 🐠🐟 the crocodile show🐊 farm park 🐷🐇🐐🐴and train ride with the dinosaurs 🦕 all highlights for our wee girl. Great activity easily spend 2-3hours here. Can't wait to visit again soon
Had the best time! Blew me away how much was on offer! Great place for all ages! So many cool things to see! We will def be back!
An easy way to spend 1-2hours before you head to the airport. Gift shop was great! Butterfly house was enthralling. I wouldn’t bother eating here - especially if you have dietary issues. A couple of the cafe staff were great, a young guy couldn’t be less interested really. The cafe experience soured the enjoyment a bit.
We really enjoyed Butterfly Creek, had not been there in years and the changes they have made are great. Lots to do for the whole family, really enjoyed the new mythical creatures display. Plenty of room for little ones to run around safely. And of course the butterflies are always great.
We loved our first trip to butterfly creek. The butterfly room was stunning, such a cool experience and the massive crocs were a big hit with the kids. We also loved the dinosaurs. Very kid friendly.
