Dont waste your time or money visiting this park, we got to the counter to be met by the man that owned it, there is no cafe as stated when we looked online, the train wasn’t working he told us he hadn’t bothered to get it out, we wanted to feed the eels only to be told there weren’t any, so three things that were meant to be there weren’t.
There were ALOT of parrots some kept in terribly small cages which made me feel sick for even visiting this park. There were numerous birds that looked ill with missing feathers all over their chests - my 11 year old son was very distressed. The park was dirty and overgrown and needed a good water blast and gardener to clean it all up.
There were also some very unfriendly geese which meant we couldn’t walk all over the park. We left within an hour vowing to NEVER return.
The children (9 and 3) enjoyed their visit, as anything with animals always delights. HOWEVER, the adults were horrified. The place stank of animal poo. The exotic birds were caged in such a miserable environment - only a bare branch to perch on if they were lucky. No greenery, no stimulation - nothing! The place was just so depressing - soulless and desolate. We were very tempted to report it to the SPCA. Still might. They should visit the Bulls Wool Heritage Park in Karangahake for a lesson on how it should be done.
So very cool, made our 4 year old little girl so happy with a train ride for her and her friends awesome park and so many animals to visit and learn about, owners were lovely and were happy to help with anything needed
Was looking up things to do in Whitianga with 2 kids under 10.
Such a good price for what you see. It was great and the kids loved it.
Highly recommend.
Value for money family outing! Our older kids absolutely loved it!! Unbelievabe variety considering that it's a private collection. Will definitely come again!
Another wonderful holiday at Mill Creek. Now with 4 children to entertain, it beats any campground hands down. Waking up to the sounds of the birds tweeting is magic.
Hot showers, kitchen with fridges for your food. No need for ice and chilly bins.
The owners, Fred and Gaye, are so lovely!
We stayed for almost 3 weeks this year and if the kids didn't have to go back to work, we would still be there.
Take your kids, take your partner. You can camp or grab a cabin. Neither will break the bank.
Enjoy the serenity that is Mill Creek.
As I write this and listen to the construction outside, I wish we were still there !
