Our guide Mike is an informative and friendly driver/guide. We stopped by two places before Piha beach and all of them were beautiful spots. I joined by myself but I had a great day and took many photos :)
We had a great day here.. being able to go around as menu times as u like is the bonus..!
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
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 place, specially for kids, toddlers had great fun on new years day, train ride was pretty fun too, overall amazing experience, must visit place specially if you have kids.
Great spot in Auckland for half day family outing
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!
Random mix of themes but fun for the kids. Wide paths for the pram. The animals were clean and got to see them up close. We loved the crocodile encounter. Overall a great experience.
It was astonishing my 2yr child has never been so well behaved she loved it the train the Alligators are stunning to watch
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
Definitely recommend bringing your kids here! Great place for adults as well. My son enjoyed the butterfly room!! Delicious food at the cafe as well.
Kids loved it!
A great way to spend the afternoon. It’s a lot more than just butterfly’s.
Lots of adventures for the kids. Love the walking Dino too!
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.
My 1y/o daughter had the best time!! The butterflies were her favourite part. We also loved the train, it goes around twice. Dinosaurs part was fascinating for her. The service was great. Food was yummy.
Our 5 year old granddaughter had a ball. She loved the butterflies
Great family day out. Lots to see and do.
Such an amazing magical place to take your children to learn n l Play!
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!
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 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.
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.
Really enjoyed our day yesterday ☺️
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.
Even though it was a too hot of a day when we went but in all honesty It was a awesome day out for our sons 3rd birthday, first time for us & would definitely visit again!
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
