Butterfly Creek

Fantastic large zoo with a great range of animals. Obviously not on the same level as Auckland zoo, but great value for money. We saw the giant crocodiles being fed and lots of other interesting things. Staff were all very friendly.

Lots to see and do for young children. A great variety of wildlife, Farm animals, butterflies, moving dinosaurs, crocodiles, kiwi birds and lizards. Probably one of the more expensive attractions in Auckland but still a great day out.

A fun day out for families and people interested in wildlife. It has a really cool dinosaur and mythological creatures section. The train that goes around the facility is ideal for kids.

Well I read the reviews before going here and I don’t usually visit zoos/animal areas because they’re a cruel concept. But I had seen this one had really good habitats for its animals but after visiting I disagree. Especially the aquarium, it is way too small for some of the massive fish they have. Some enclosures were nice to see such as the butterfly enclosure band the nocturnal kiwi area but a bit sad to see the others.

Great wee train ride, and animatronics. Butterfly house was very hot, so if you're allergic to heat, be warned. Lovely butterflies though.

Had an awesome time here! Heaps to do and shows to see with the animals if you choose too. The only improvement suggestion I have is to have seperate lines to enter the 'barn' and to buy the food pellets. Because there's a limit of 10 max in the barn at any time to pet the animals in there and you can only get the food pellets in the barn- we had to wait in the line no for 30mins with people waiting to go and pet the animals in there and all we wanted was some bags of food. Other than that - great day!!!

Butterfly Creek is an absolutely stunning and wonderful experience. The exquisite collection of butterflies is just amazing, and the way they flit about is so calming and peaceful. The park has a unique and interactive environment, which makes it perfect for both kids and adults. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and they always go above and beyond to make sure visitors are having an amazing time. Overall, Butterfly Creek is a top-notch destination for anyone looking for a fun and educational experience – highly recommended!

A truly great way to waste a few hours when you’re stuck at the Auckland airport. We spent 4 hours there, which was probably about an hour too long. But they have a free shuttle from the airport, ample opportunities for fun photos and caring staff. It’s a bit expensive for how small it is, but if the funds go toward the animals, that’s fine with me. Definitely geared towards kids but it was still fun for two adults.
