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.

A great day out

I had a wonderful day at Butterfly Creek. Every time I go there is something new! I was in time to watch a large amount of butterflies being released. There were butterflies everywhere - with many landing on delighted children. I loved the Kiwi House and the slow moving huge crocodiles. The new playground at the back of the farm looks fantastic and I love the huge variety of animals that are living there now. I am going to organize a school trip for my class - they are going to love it. Also I must mention that the food and coffee served at the cafe is delicious and the staff were all friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.
