What it is

Butterfly Creek marks Father's Day with a full day of animals and adventure. Families can wander through Dinosaur Kingdom to come face to face with a roaring T-Rex, visit the Lace Monitors, Kiwi, and Tamarin Monkeys, and head to Buttermilk Farm for a more relaxed meet-and-greet with the animals there.

Throughout the day, nine free daily encounters are spread across the park — highlights include the otter siblings, a crocodile encounter with the giant saltwater crocs, meerkats, tarantulas, and more. A map from the shop on arrival helps families plan their route around the timetable.

To round off the day, a special Father's Day BBQ menu runs over the weekend, so families can sit down together without anyone having to cook. It adds up to a genuinely full day: animals, encounters, and a proper feed. Book online and use the promo code DAD20 to receive 20% off individual Day Passes for Father’s Day
