A Lovely Experience on a Stunning Day!
We visited Butterfly Creek on a lovely warm day and really took our time exploring. We enjoyed some great feeding sessions and keeper interactions throughout the visit. A real highlight was seeing the two kiwis and having the chance to meet the kiwi keeper for a good kōrero about them — such a special experience. Overall, it was a morning/afternoon very well spent, and we left feeling happy and impressed.
