Testimonials

“Wow, my daughter had so much fun doing Junior Keeper we booked again last holidays. She is still raving about her day, especially getting up close with the otters.”

“My two children recently did Butterfly Creek’s Junior Keeper programme and they rated it as amazing & awesome.  They got up close with the farm animals, Crocodiles & Tarantulas as well as hand feeding the farm animals, and Parrots. Amazing experience for the kids. They want to do it again!!!! Recommended. Thank you to the staff who made it a great day.”
