Manukau Central  – Full Day   Today you have a choice!   You can start with a visit to the tropical butterfly house at Butterfly Creek, with over 700 free flying butterflies, a tropical fish aquaria, lizards, insects and Buttermilk Farm, with all farmyard favourites. Follow this by having lunch in the on-site Papillon Bar and Café.    In the afternoon, you can head out to Ranibow’s End – fun, whatever your age.       But if rollercoasters and pirate ships aren’t your scene, you may prefer to spend the day at the Auckland  Botanic Gardens, with a leisurely lunch at Café Miko in the Gardens.     Then, if you find yourself with some extra time, then visit Botany Town Centre for some retail therapy. And then, maybe a movie at Berkeley Cinemas – you’ll be spoilt for choice at this state-of-the-art cinema complex with armchairs, meals and waitress service as an optional extra.
