Nice family day out.

The establishment provided a positive experience. It offered numerous amenities suitable for both children and adults. While a high ropes course was present, it was, regrettably, unavailable during the visit. Really recommended.

From Butterfly Creek Day Pass

Thanks for leaving a review - we are pleased you enjoyed your visit. Confusing comments about the high ropes - this is not part of Butterfly Creek but was part of a neighbouring business that closed down more than 2 years ago.

Great experience!

Absolutely incredible experience. Staff are friendly and informative. The attractions are better than any zoo I’ve ever been to in comparison. Dinosaur kingdom is amazing. Highly recommend.

BUTTERFLY BLISS

I had no idea that this magical park has existed for the last 20 years. A lot of hard work has gone into building life like moving, roaring dinosaur statues, exciting animal’s enclosures and a tropical rain forest butterfly exhibit polished with thunder and mist.

Thanks for your great review - we are delighted you enjoyed so many of the great attractions we have at Butterfly Creek, and we look forward to seeing you again sometime soon
