Good choice

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!

Good but can be better

We go here regularly and absolutely love the place. The variety of animals is great. Just the customer service lacked. The girl that served me was extremely rude to customers as well as her co worker infront of everyone.

Hi, thanks for coming to see us and we are pleased you enjoy the animals and attractions. We are sorry to hear about the customer service - this is definitely something we will remind our team about.
