★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for young and old.
Just unfortunate that we could not get the kids on the train ride as queues were too long on the day.
Would happily go again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had an awesome time here! Heaps to do and shows to see with the animals if you choose too. The only improvement suggestion I have is to have seperate lines to enter the 'barn' and to buy the food pellets. Because there's a limit of 10 max in the barn at any time to pet the animals in there and you can only get the food pellets in the barn- we had to wait in the line no for 30mins with people waiting to go and pet the animals in there and all we wanted was some bags of food. Other than that - great day!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was quite a nice place to spend the morning. We came by late in the morning and noticed that we had missed some of the animal encounters already. The parking lot is quite big and shares with rocket ropes beside it. It was fairly busy but there was plenty of parking particularly away from the main entrance. This is probably where the annual pass comes in handy.
We started in the aquarium area just by the ticket counter. They had a few tanks with a myriad of different fish. The next part was the butterfly enclosure. It was quite fun trying to find the different butterflies as they flew around. We followed the map to the different areas of the zoo. After the animals came the Dinosaur Kingdom. This was quite interesting to walk through with all the dinosaurs moving about and making sounds. The mythical creature display was in the building near this area too. The dinosaur kingdom ended by the train station, which is beside the cafe. There was also another area that went to Buttermilk Farm. The barn had animals that were pettable. There was also an aviary and other farm animals around like goats and alpacas.
One of the animal encounter that we went to was the crocodile feeding. That was quite an interesting experience watching the croc feeding in close quarters. I can see why this is the most popular encounter.
The outdoor area by the playground was a nice place to have lunch. There was sufficient cover under the tables so that you didn't get burnt. There are also toilets in this area. We grabbed some food from the cafe and enjoyed it outside. We then went on the train. This was quite a nice ride going around the entire place twice.
This was a nice place to spend a day with kids of all ages. Take a look at the timetable to see if there is a specific animal encounter that you'd be interested in.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We really like visiting butterfly Creek ? ❤ especially our kids they really enjoyed exploring the whole places as there so many things to do for kids they get see experience a tour guide by friendly staff on how Alligator are being fed.
Kids get to see different kinds of insects, Butterflies also habitat of Kiwi home.
We get to captured beautifull pics with Dinosaurs ?,Egyptians sts, ?, and the fun part kids love going short Train Ride as well as getting opportunity to feed the farm animals like ?, ?, and other farm Animals but most of Animals may be due to hot sunny day they like to hide and take shed so we are unable to feed them.
But kids has and awesome time pamperring their favourite Animal Fluffy Rabbit.
I would highly recommend others to visit this nice places your whole family will loved it
:)
It would be best if you pack your own snacks or sandwich ? ? and bring own water bottle to keep u going and side by side enjoy the scenic beauty of Butterfly Creek .
As a family we all had a fabulous day ❤

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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!!!!
