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!

Great outing for kids

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.

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.

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.

Quiet Fridays

Quiet Fridays

I went with my Family. 3 adults, a 4yo and a baby (8m). We have been to Butterfly Creek quite a few times and this time we were disappointed with a few things (likely changes due to Covid): -the cafe a la carte menu is significantly reduced, with only very basic options -the farm indoor section is closed off, so no petting of the little animals. However, this was made up with the friendly staff at the ticket counter and the guy in the farm area bringing around the goat to pet (and feed). Also being Friday meant there was hardly anyone there, so free to roam around without waiting for anything (a bonus in these Covid times). Will probably go again once the porcupine and meerkats are there.

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.

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

Great day

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.

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.

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.
