A wonderful day at Butterfly Creek

Butterfly Creek was a perfect day out with a 2 year old. The early bird special rate on bookme was a real bonus.

Beautiful day at butterfly Creek🦋

The amazing Butterfly Creek was a hit with the kids! 😊 The butterflies were stunning and letting them land on you was a highlight. The farm animals were a big hit too - patting them was so much fun. Would defo recommend for a one-day trip with the family 👍.
