Greta time. Thanks heaps. Loved the course options.
Beautiful course. Picturesque and unique. Choice of 2 rounds. Took the Captain’s Challenge. Next time we will try the other one! Holes mostly par 2. Very doable. Had a bit of a wait getting served. Had to call a mobile number. A bit difficult if one didn’t have a mobile. All in all a fun morning. Will be back.
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.
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!
Loved our outing to Butterfly Creek. Watching the eel, otter and crocodile feeds was really interesting. My daughter loved the mermaid display and play area. The little shop has so many wonderful items for sale, but are a bit pricey. Overall, it was a fantastic day out.
We really enjoyed Butterfly Creek, had not been there in years and the changes they have made are great. Lots to do for the whole family, really enjoyed the new mythical creatures display. Plenty of room for little ones to run around safely. And of course the butterflies are always great.
Really enjoyed our day yesterday ☺️
Kids loved it!
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.
Highly recommend this place, easy access for prams, lots of cute Dino’s, good food and friendly farm animals
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.
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.
It was astonishing my 2yr child has never been so well behaved she loved it the train the Alligators are stunning to watch
Fun for all ages reminds me of Rainbow Springs....So many things for our tamariki
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.
Fantastic place - my 3 year old had the best 2 hours! Place is well maintained and many things to look at. Train is a must do and adds to the experience too
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.
Was an awesome morning out, kids really enjoyed the train. Until the fire alarm went off just as we were about to sit down for lunch. Got evacuated so we left... to hot to be standing around in the sun. We missed the farm animals and the playground, kids were abit guttered.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
It was very enjoyable for my daughters 6th birthday , managed to finish our trip just before the rain started. I just wish there were some food bags left as we went to go get some and the people before us purchased 6 bags and left none for the rest of us waiting with our kids. Should maybe be a limit one per person/feeder.
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 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 🆒️ 👌
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.
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!
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.
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.
Wonderful day out with the family as booking went smoothly..no 😊 problem at all ..so that's a five star 🌟 from me and my family..highly recommend 👌
