Awesome place. It was great so much was undercover given the weather.
Thanks for coming to visit - we are pleased you enjoyed it, and yes, we have quite a lot of the park and attractions undercover so its a great place to visit in any weather.
The establishment provided a positive experience. It offered numerous amenities suitable for both children and adults. While a high ropes course was present, it was, regrettably, unavailable during the visit. Really recommended.
Thanks for leaving a review - we are pleased you enjoyed your visit. Confusing comments about the high ropes - this is not part of Butterfly Creek but was part of a neighbouring business that closed down more than 2 years ago.
I could not make this experience due to work circumstances I emailed them and they said I should just call on the day I could come. When I did that the front desk were rude. Will never go back due to the lack of empathy. I saved for this booking has a solo mom and due to work they were not understanding I just lost my money and a day outing for my kids
Had a great time
Thanks for the 5-star review. We are pleased you enjoyed your holiday
