Butterfly Creek is a great place for the family that is not interested in all the adrenaline sports on offer and just wants to spend a couple of hours watching the little one's faces light up. Keep your eyes open for giant moths and giant wetas...land of the giants?? It is very close to the airport so if you are looking to spend a few hours before your flight or are staying at one of the airport hotels, ths is a good place to visit. They have a big butterfly house and shows revolving around the 'gators and crocs. There is a cafe serving Altura coffee that is open up until 2 or 2.30 depending on the season. They also host functions here if you are looking for something a little different.
Open every day except Christmas and Boxing Day (the day after Christmas).
