About

A fun day out for everyone! We have dinosaurs, crocodiles, alligators, monkeys, butterflies, farm animals, cafe, functions, shop, playground and a train!

Story

Butterfly Creek is one of Auckland's most exciting and colourful attractions. There is an aquaria where you can spot Nemo and his friends, next comes the wonderful tropical butterfly house where over 500 butterflies surround you. Amongst them you can find turtles, monkeys, birds and dragons. Butterfly Creek hosts two giant salt water crocodiles and alligators. There is also a bugs exhibit where you can see tarantulas up close and insects such as locusts. Buttermilk Farm is very popular at Butterfly Creek as it is a great way for the children to interact with the farm animals - see the goat getting milked, pat a bunny rabbit and giggle at the pigs as they snooze. There is a little train that circles the complex and also a playground for the kids to play in, while adults can enjoy a coffee and lunch from the Papillon Cafe and Bar. Butterfly Creek is a great day out suitable for all months of the year as it is 50% under cover. New to Butterfly Creek is Dinosaur Kingdom - an exciting exhibit where you can explore all sized dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago.

We cater for group visits such as holiday programmes, primary schools, seniors, pre schools, kindergarten, play groups, seniors, coffee groups and families of course.

We provide venue hire for wedding, have conferencing facilities and host great kids birthday parties too!

We provide educational resources on butterflies, bugs and crocodiles when a group visits us.

We also run a behind the scenes - Junior Keeper programme that allows the kids to learn about animals and how to care for them.

Butterfly Creek is a day out visit for everyone!

What an amazing adventure! We paid $55 for our family of 3 and had the best time of our lives. Nothing short of a Zoo trip. Beautiful butterflies, a solitary alligator, a bone crunching crocodile, the ever elusive Kiwi, lots of lizards and creepy crawlies and not to forget the Dragons and Dinosaur. It's a whole different world altogether. We were right on cue for the crocodile feeding which was the highlight of the day! Then there was that fantastic train ride. Lots to do for the whole family. We had also heard of it but having experienced it first hand was something else entirely. Highly recommended for a full family adventure. Facilities are nice and clean and the food was good for the price. Absolutely wonderful.
My son and I really enjoyed our visit to Butterfly Creek. We spent around 3 to 3½ hours going round, there was so much to see. We thoroughly enjoyed the Tarantula encounter with Jess who was very knowledgeable and was great at answering all my son's questions. Also thanks again to Jess and Lawrence for answering lots of questions at the end of the crocodile encounter - you're knowledge and enthusiasm was fantastic. Would definitely recommend Butterfly Creek to others, and would definitely visit again.
I love Butterfly Creek..Such an awesome place for the family especially the kids. The dinosaur part is amazing, walking through and seeing these huge dinosaur statues that look so real.Our girls loved the farm animals and the train ride is a added bonus. Friendly staff and great location with lots of parking. The cafe also has some delicious meals with reasonable prices.
Sadly due to COVID there are not many butterflies, I think I counted 5? At the time. Definitely room for improvement, some displays had nothing and they could provide more information about the animals with better displays and more ‘interactions’. We enjoyed feeding the animals the train and the dragon / dinosaur / unicorn displays. Wish there were more staff around to help take photos of my son and I. The iguana was very cool! Beautiful glasshouse with plants. As an indoor plant enthusiast, maybe you could try growing rare pants in there? That would be amazing!!!!
Great place for little ones and their curious minds. There's a cute little train that runs but lines can get quite long. Also there's only 1 parents room by the eating area. A fun day out none the less.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Gorgeous place to visit with kids. We encountered with butterflies, rabbits, pigs, chickens, goats, sheeps, alpacas and many more lovely animals. Dinosaurs around us seems like original ones, my little one got scared first then we took a train ride, its only $3.50 extra per person. And lastly we had a tasty lunch in the cafe. An awesome half day trip with kids
Great place to bring the kids or to come on a date or just to visit in general, 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! Def recommend coming here if you’re looking for something to do!
Service in Cafe was a little slow and at times not very friendly. But the butterflies are amazing at the moment, so many and they love to land on you. The grounds are beautifully kept and so beautiful.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Great place for all ages to visit with a good variety of animals to see. Enjoyed the train ride that goes twice round the park. Food is enjoyable but on the expensive side and the only food for coeliacs was a caramel slice. This place doesn't cater for those with dietary requirements.
Really good place for the kids. We went as a primary year level group and they did really well with organising the feeding times for us parent helpers. It’s a good size park with loads of things to see and do. There is a train that circles the swamp which is a few dollars per person. Huge shaded area to eat at and a cafe that has an ok selection of food. Their coffee was mediocre however. I’m pretty sure you can’t bring your own food though. May pay to check that one by ringing them.
