Lovely, helpful staff. Great value for money experience. Lots to see and do. Dinosaur kingdom and the exotic animals were a highlight but there was so much to see that we were not disappointed.
Good experience
We always love visiting butterfly creek. Such a fun experience for people of all ages. Highly reccomend
On our travels home we did 1 last stop and it was totally worth it. I would make one suggestion for butterfly creek to better advertise train departure times. Other than that, try the lemon tarts they're awesome and the lady serving was awesome too!
Thanks for the lovely review. Those lemon tarts are the best!
