Butterfly Creek is a fun blend of animal exhibits and interactive attractions. Immerse yourself in our tropical butterfly house and walk amongst 700+ butterflies. Travel back in time when dinosaurs ruled and visit Dinosaur Kingdom - with over 60 dinosaurs, some even life sized, roaring and moving, you’ll be amazed!
Meet Scar and Goldie, NZ’s only salt water crocodiles, it’s truly exciting! We have alligators, bugs, monkeys and a beautiful bird aviary. Plus visit Buttermilk Farm for a hands on experience. Sit down for some home-made food at The Papillon Café, or relax while your children play in our free playground. We also offer amazing kids birthday parties, functions and catering.
Only two minutes from the airport, loads of free parking – as well as a free airport pick up. You won’t experience anything like it anywhere else in New Zealand.
