Butterfly Creek

Immerse yourself in our tropical Butterfly House or travel back in time in Dinosaur Kingdom, where more than 50 giant dinosaurs bring the prehistoric world to life. Meet Scar and Goldie, New Zealand’s only saltwater crocodiles, and explore even more amazing animals including kiwi, farm animals, alligators, meerkats, otters, and tamarin monkeys. Step into a world of magic in our Mythic Creatures exhibit, featuring mermaids, unicorns & dragons. Enjoy a bite to eat in our café, ride the train, and let the kids burn off energy in one of our exciting adventure playgrounds. We also host kids’ birthday parties, private functions, and catered events, and we’re a popular educational destination for schools & Early Childhood Education (ECE) centres.
