My neurodivergent 6-year-old daughter loved the interactive exhibit - fantastic work on such an inclusive space for all who love to learn about the environment through a more hands-on approach! Very nostalgic experience for us parents as well, having attended the penguin parade as kids and having an option to sit on the "old" concrete stand or newer, refreshed stands - wonderful work.

Absolutely loved our visit to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade. The whole experience was incredibly well organised from easy ticket entry to the smooth seating process. Watching hundreds of little penguins waddle back to shore at sunset was unforgettable and honestly one of the most magical wildlife experiences we’ve had in Australia. The staff were friendly and helpful and the viewing areas gave everyone a great experience without disturbing the penguins. Booking through Headout was simple and stress free with instant confirmation and clear instructions. Highly recommend arriving before sunset to enjoy the coastal views and visitor centre before the parade begins. A must do experience for families couples and international visitors alike.

Amazing experience at the Phillip Island Penguin Parade! Everything was very well organized, and the entry process was smooth and quick. Watching the little penguins return to shore at sunset was such a unique and unforgettable moment. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and family-friendly. Booking through Headout was easy, and the tickets worked perfectly without any issues. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Melbourne!

Was so nice to see the little penguins, the set up is really nice. What disappointed me was the amount of people who had no regard for the rules around phones and cameras, it honestly made me mad, the rules are there to protect the penguins, it must be very frustrating for the workers there having to constantly tell people to stop filming or taking photos... and even then they'll still ignor the rules.

In my 34 years here in Melbourne, that was my first visit to the Phillip Island to see the penguins. It was an awesome experience and I actually posted my photos on my facebook account to share with my relatives and friends how amazing I felt when I finally ticked this off my bucket list. Thanks to the friendly staff. Cheers!
