Truly fun experience! Worth to do it again!!!
very Impressive and unforgettable experience. Only available on Friday and Sunday night.
We had a great day here.. being able to go around as menu times as u like is the bonus..!
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
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.
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!
Great family day out. Lots to see and do.
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.
A great way to spend the afternoon. It’s a lot more than just butterfly’s.
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
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.
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.
It was astonishing my 2yr child has never been so well behaved she loved it the train the Alligators are stunning to watch
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fun for all ages reminds me of Rainbow Springs....So many things for our tamariki
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!
Great experience and kids love this place
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.
The amazing Butterfly Creek was a hit with the kids! 😊 The butterflies were stunning and letting them land on you was a highlight. The farm animals were a big hit too - patting them was so much fun. Would defo recommend for a one-day trip with the family 👍.
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.
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.
Our 5 year old granddaughter had a ball. She loved the butterflies
