Great friendly staff great tasting food and just an all around fun atmosphere Have already recommended to all my friends
Patient, kind enthusiastic team encouraging out inner speed demon from everyone - even nervously excited learner. Made us all feel at ease and gave the confidence to push the limits. Much laughing, whooping and fist pumps. We will be back for more thrills
Still the same great rides plus a few new ones. My 5 year old enjoyed the AA driving town one because she could drive all by herself!! Perfect day out!
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.
Greta time. Thanks heaps. Loved the course options.
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 ✨
Great spot in Auckland for half day family outing
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!
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.
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
We had a great time here. It’s good for young children. We went on a Friday morning and it wasn’t busy which was great. The playground at the end was awesome. Good mix of things to see.
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.
Kids had a great time and the walk around the whole place was a good experience for them.
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.
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!
Both families had fun at butterfly creek kids spent lots of time playing inside the dinosaur egg.
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
Great experience and kids love this place
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.
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!
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.
Good fun, my child was happy and that made me happy -food was good and experience was cool for both of us being out of towners
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.
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.
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
Such an amazing magical place to take your children to learn n l Play!
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.
Fun for all ages reminds me of Rainbow Springs....So many things for our tamariki
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.
So Dinosaur park! Flying dragoons! Room full of butterflys. Kids favorite! Train ride is fantastic just don't know the reason for separate ticket!
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.
Highly recommend this place, easy access for prams, lots of cute Dino’s, good food and friendly farm animals
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.
Awesome day trip to butterfly creek
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.
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.
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.
