Had an amazing first time visit to Butterfly creek with my 2 boys . I was super impressed by how much things there are to see and do !!! Animals, Butterflies, Fish, the Dinosaur Kingdom , Farm animals , playgrounds and the train were all so much fun and my boys had the best time . Especially the dinosaurs . Wasn't too busy and I think it's cool you are able to have access all day , all throughout the park ...
Took my 3 year old and he really enjoyed the park. He loved the farm area, the train ride, the Kiwi enclosure and the obstacle course playground in particular. Friendly staff and lots to keep the kids entertained. Highly recommend
Thank you for the wonderful review Alicia we are so glad your little one enjoyed his visit!

Great time at Butterfly Creek!
Took my dinosaur obsessed nephews (2 & 4) and they had the best time. I was really pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had too - this place has a little bit of everything. Including a really good flat white from the cafe!
