FamilyVerified bookingToday5/5The viewing platforms and boardwalks provide excellent opportunities to see the penguins up close without disturbing them. Knowledgeable staff and informative displays at the visitor centre add to the experience by explaining the penguins’ behaviour, conservation efforts, and the importance of preserving their environment. One of the highlights is the peaceful atmosphere as dusk falls and the penguins make their way home after a day of fishing. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Australian wildlife experience.JJennylyn B
FamilyVerified bookingLast week4/5It was overall a great experience. We did this with our 2yo kid and we only stayed until just before after 6pm because our boy had enough waiting, for about 1hr and 30mins. We didnt see the penguins properly coming out from the water because it was very dark and they are so tiny but we saw them upclose from the boardwalk when we were returning to the main centre. I think this is best if kids are older than 5 yo and above. Otherwise it was a brilliant day!JJoanne K
FamilyVerified booking6 days ago5/5Loved seeing the penguins and hearing all about them by the knowledgeable rangers. It was a magical experience and despite the rain we had a good sense of humour and just lapped it all up. The rangers were so friendly and welcoming. We felt so comfortable and at ease. Omgosh the penguins were by far the highlight. Sweet little things that they are - and there were so many to see. Definitely a must see, even if you've been before.PPauline W
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5The views from Melbourne Skydeck were amazing. Great to pick out all the landmarks and loved the way they were highlighted. Parks ans Gardens cruise was lovely too. Great to learn a bit about the sports arenas and gardens all around. Really helped to get besting in the city, especially as lit when coupled with the sky deck. Great info as well about the changing shape of the river to help keep Melbourne safe from glooding.EElizabeth M
FamilyVerified booking5 days ago4/5The penguin parade is a wonderful experience - for locals, visitors and international visitors alike. It is a credit to the tireless work of NPWS. Unfortunately the experience is somewhat spoiled by visitors who choose to ignore the repeated requests for no photography or use of light emiting devices. NPWS staff should not have to continually be making, individual, requests to stop this.
Experience Melbourne from above and witness one of Australia's most famous wildlife encounters with admission to Melbourne Skydeck and the Phillip Island Penguin Parade.
