Greta time. Thanks heaps. Loved the course options.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great experience and kids love this place
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.
Highly recommend this place, easy access for prams, lots of cute Dino’s, good food and friendly farm animals
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.
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
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!
Lots of adventures for the kids. Love the walking Dino too!
Awesome day trip to butterfly creek
Really enjoyed our day yesterday ☺️
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.
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.
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.
Great family day out. Lots to see and do.
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.
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.
Our 5 year old granddaughter had a ball. She loved the butterflies
It was astonishing my 2yr child has never been so well behaved she loved it the train the Alligators are stunning to watch
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.
Fun for all ages reminds me of Rainbow Springs....So many things for our tamariki
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
Kids had a great time and the walk around the whole place was a good experience for them.
Kids loved it!
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
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
Great experience for the whole family. We loved every section of the park and the facilities were great as well. Will definitely recommend Butterfly Creek to friends and they’ll see us again
