Pro tips to help you make a pick

Choose a Penguin Parade-only ticket if you only have an evening. A 3 Parks Pass is better value only if you can realistically visit 2–3 included sites such as Koala Conservation Reserve and Churchill Island.

About Phillip Island

Phillip Island Nature Parks combines wild little penguins, koala habitat, headland lookouts, and a heritage farm within one not-for-profit conservation network rather than a single zoo-style site. Visitors move between boardwalks, visitor centres, and coastal reserves, with profits reinvested into habitat protection, research, and wildlife rescue. That mix of evening wildlife viewing and daytime outdoor stops shapes most itineraries.

Did you know?

Phillip Island Nature Parks is a Victorian Government-created not-for-profit that manages about 20% of Phillip Island as conservation reserves and visitor attractions.

Why visit Phillip Island?

Nightly Little Penguin Arrivals at Dusk

The Penguin Parade lets you watch hundreds of wild little penguins emerge from the surf at dusk and cross the beach to their burrows. Standard tickets use tiered outdoor seating, while boardwalks and premium areas bring you closer along the penguin pathways. Photography and filming are banned to protect the birds.

My partner and I have just moved to Australia from the UK and so many people had recommended the 3 park pass. Being Yorkshire folk, we felt at home in the pastoral setting with the farm animals! We spent our Sunday exploring the parks and all the wonderful animals. It brought us so much joy. The farm on Churchill Island is very well presented with so much information and activities available for its guests. We loved the highland cows! We ended the day with the penguin parade which was also very well run.
