Butterfly Creek

Step into a world of wonder at Butterfly Creek! Wander through a tropical butterfly house, explore the Dinosaur Kingdom with over 40 life-sized, roaring dinos, and dive into the magical world of Mythic Creatures—featuring unicorns, mermaids, and dragons. Get up close to NZ’s only saltwater crocodiles, Scar and Goldie, meet brown kiwi in the Kiwi Forest, and enjoy hands-on fun at Buttermilk Farm. You’ll also find alligators, bugs, reptiles, and New Zealand’s largest tropical aquariums. Relax at the Butterfly Creek Café, let the kids play in the playground, or ride the Admiral Express Train. Spread across 18,000m², there’s space to explore safely and something for everyone to enjoy!
