Looking for an unforgettable family day out these school holidays? Embark on an epic adventure with Myths, Monsters & Mischief at Butterfly Creek!

Get up close with legendary beasts, watch the cheeky otters and curious meerkats in action, and don’t miss the thrilling Croc Show at 1pm daily!

Kids can take on the Dragon Quest for a chance to win awesome How to Train Your Dragon prizes, plus there’s colouring stations, face painting on Fridays, and exciting animal encounters happening every day.
