Everything was easy to find and navigate. Will be nice when the visitor center is back open. I would recommend more multi-lingual instructions. Not sure what will help your situation with a certain demographic. This demographic was rude in line, in the center, and at the bleacher area. Every time the staff had to remind the crowd of the rules, which was continuous, was the same people. I was left with a bad feeling about the entire event based on their eith mis-understanding of the rules or blatent disregard for the obvious requests. It is unfortunate that your event gets the black eye for these people but the overall experience was affected by these people.. I heard others grumbling the same.. We loved your presentation and the staff was very informative and patient.

This experience was amazing and a must see for everyone who loves wildlife in general, and who cares about our environment. Watching the adorable little fairy penguins waddle up the beach, and through the native vegetation was incredible. They are so tiny and on the cuteness level, it's nothing short of overload. I do have one complaint and it's nothing to do with the organisation and running of the nightly parade. It's about the people attending - seriously how many times do you have to be told that no photos are allowed - and that means by mobile phones too. The penguins are shy and nervous and this is explained multiple times but some people think they are special and rules don't apply to them. Please don't be THAT person. Definitely a MUST SEE!!

Absolutely loved getting to see the penguins, and I appreciate the efforts the staff/rangers have made to keep the penguins safe. I do wonder if it would be beneficial to put up more signs along the path and at the beach about no phones or cameras. One or two signs at the entrance isn't enough, and I'm sure the staff/rangers have better things to do - like answering questions and supporting an enjoyable, safe night - than having to constantly tell patrons to put their phones away. I really reckon that more signs (maybe a handful with explanations of the importance of no phones/cameras) would go a long way in keeping the penguins safe. Thanks again for a wonderful night!

Catch sight of little penguins returning home at dusk in the world-famous Penguin Parade. The parade is particularly great for educating children on wildlife and nature awareness.

Opt for the general viewing ticket to get close to the little waddlers or choose penguin plus – a ticket for tiered seating.

Admire the penguins on the new Penguins Premium viewing platform that's directly inspired by the magnificent coves of the island's southern coast.

Enhance your experience with an exclusive ranger-led tour through the penguin colony with an underground viewing upgrade for an exclusive up-close interaction.

You can also choose the Phillip Island 3 Parks Pass, offering koala encounters at the Conservation Centre and farm experiences on Churchill Island.

Fun fact: Phillip Island is home to one of the largest penguin colonies in Australia.

We booked the Penguin Plus Experience We had brilliant comentary from Stan whilst waiting for the penguins to arrive When the rafts arrived with the penguins we watched as they toddled up the beach - Sometimes running back to the sea as if to get courage to come up. We marvelled as the penguins met their friends after spending up to 3 days fishing in solitude. This was done directly in front of us. Fantastic experience for my sister in law on her first visit to Australia at the age of 83. The Penguins were the only things on her bucket list. Her mother had also visited the penguins on her visit to Australia & that was the highlight of her mothers visit 30 years ago

Having a view of the penguins from the walkway when they returned to their nests, gave a close up experience. They should mention when purchasing tickets to bring a towel or cushion to sit on because the metal bench seats can become quite uncomfortable.

The visit to the Nobbies were spectacular especially to see the Little Penguins in natural light, spectacular blowhole & the flora. Evening viewing of the penguins were great save for the crowd control, which I felt, could have been better enforced.

Great information centre. Love that the centre is still respectful of the penguins and their wellbeing e.g no photos. Sue was lovely & friendly and very knowledgable about the penguins. A great experience!

Experience the magic of the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island

Witness one of Australia’s most beloved wildlife experiences with entry to the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island Nature Parks. Every evening at sunset, watch as hundreds of little penguins emerge from the ocean and make their charming waddle home along the beach. With access to both the boardwalks and visitor centre, you’ll enjoy informative exhibits, spectacular coastal views, and up-close encounters with nature.

What to expect

Your visit includes entry to the Penguin Parade, access to the general viewing platform, and the elevated boardwalks that wind along the penguins’ path. This popular vantage point offers sweeping views of Summerlands Beach and the penguins’ nightly journey as they return from a day at sea.

Upgrade your experience

Choose from two premium viewing options for an even more memorable encounter:

Penguins Plus: Enjoy exclusive access to the Penguins Plus platform, designed with ranger insights and conservation in mind. Located in a prime beachfront position with limited capacity, it offers the closest viewing point to the penguins’ main highway and a more intimate, unobstructed experience.

Underground Viewing: Step into a specially designed underground bunker with eye-level outlooks. Stay warm and dry in this weatherproof area while observing penguins pass by just inches from the glass – perfect for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.

3 Parks Pass: Enhance your visit by selecting the 3 Parks Pass, which includes entry to two additional nature attractions:

Koala Conservation Reserve: Wander tree-top boardwalks through eucalypt woodlands and spot koalas in their natural habitat.

Churchill Island: Discover heritage gardens, historical farming displays, and scenic walking trails on one of Victoria’s oldest European settlements.

Whether you stick to the classic Penguin Parade or opt for immersive upgrades, this is an unforgettable wildlife experience suitable for all ages and interests.
