Butterfly Creek

“My Grandaughter Hayley from MELBOURNE was due for her 30th birthday, what’s a fantastic family plan she thought? Here’s the action! I will go to NZ and take granddad, aunty and her granddaughters to a fabulous attraction BUTTERFLY CREEK near Auckland airport! WOW! an absolutely amazing choice, friendly staff, well maintained, safety precautions adhered to by all! We hit cafe first as you do! The coffee was first class as was the food displayed or made. Train ride got you oriented to the park surroundings. That is wonderful! We had paid extra for a Meerkat encounter, stars where Kia and Otse friendly and playful no hesitation to climb on you for the mealy worms you fed them! Our animal keepers Madie and Woo who where in enclosure with us where knowledgeable informative and very nice people. The butterfly, kiwi, aquarium, baby animals dinosaurs are absolutely amazing! They have birthday party rooms as well! My advice for a fabulous educational and happy outing for discerning families is to take a trip and visit BUTTERFLY CREEK in Auckland NZ Arthur C Charlton west Auckland NZ.”

“This is our 2nd time here and the first time was 8yrs ago. Some of the exhibits are quite dated but still interesting for young children. There are attractions which are still interesting for the older aged children including adults, like the animal talks/feeds, crocodile show and of course the butterfly area where you can experience the magnificent insects landing onto you. The tram ride is an add on and goes round the park twice and is lovely for kids. A great cafe and a gift shop that has lots of cool items for sale.”

“Great place to visit with the kids. The feeding schedule of the animals keeps you on track to get your car at around the park. There's lots of shade to be found throughout the place and taking coins may be handy with being able to purchase food to feed the farm animals. There were also chicks for sale when we were there.”

“Great place to visit. We loved the upgrades since our last visit. The otters were a delight, as were the meerkat. The butterflies were not that great, we've seen better on previous visits. The dinosaurs and mythical creature display were fun to look at.”
