We took our 2 year old granddaughter yesterday and had an awesome experience. 4 hours later we left for home. From the butterfly's to the fish, dinosaurs, farm animals and the train ride the smiles and laughter were continuous. The train ride was fantastic and my video showed continuous smiles all the way round. Thank you Butterfly Creek for an amazing experience.

Great place to take the kids

Our girls aged almost 4 and 7 loved it. We last visited about 5 years ago and the place has added alot of stuff! If your child loves dinosaurs or animals it's the perfect place. They have farm animals, otters, alligators, mythic creatures area, lots of dinosaurs that make noise and move their heads, fish, reptiles and butterflies of course. Also a Cafe for guests with yummy food albeit a bit pricey and a great playground. Very good day for the family. We booked via bookme.co.nz and saved some money too. We would definitely go again. Highly recommend.

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.

Loved our outing to Butterfly Creek. Watching the eel, otter and crocodile feeds was really interesting. My daughter loved the mermaid display and play area. The little shop has so many wonderful items for sale, but are a bit pricey. Overall, it was a fantastic day out.

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.

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.

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.

Fun family day out

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.

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.

Was an awesome morning out, kids really enjoyed the train. Until the fire alarm went off just as we were about to sit down for lunch. Got evacuated so we left... to hot to be standing around in the sun. We missed the farm animals and the playground, kids were abit guttered.

Lovely butterfly house

Loved the butterfly house. A bit misleading calling it ‘All Areas Pass’ as that is the only pass you seem to be able to buy, and it still doesn’t include everything - train ride is separate… so not sure what all areas pass really mean. Not like you can buy a pass for one area only anyway? Bit sad for some of the animals with minimal space to roam around.
