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
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!
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
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.
My 1y/o daughter had the best time!! The butterflies were her favourite part. We also loved the train, it goes around twice. Dinosaurs part was fascinating for her. The service was great. Food was yummy.
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.
Highly recommend this place, easy access for prams, lots of cute Dino’s, good food and friendly farm animals
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.
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.
Great family day out. Lots to see and do.
It was astonishing my 2yr child has never been so well behaved she loved it the train the Alligators are stunning to watch
Wow. So much has changed and added to the aquarium and the 🐊 🐊 have grown si much bigger and larger. The last time time we was there. When a baby crocodile just been born. And was his,her birthday.as we made it I'm time. Yummie cake it was. An now was sad to see less butterflies 🦋 thou. But never mind.. the whole experience was 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 🆒️ 👌
Really enjoyed our day yesterday ☺️
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.
Such an amazing magical place to take your children to learn n l Play!
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.
We loved our first trip to butterfly creek. The butterfly room was stunning, such a cool experience and the massive crocs were a big hit with the kids. We also loved the dinosaurs. Very kid friendly.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
