All 3 parks on Phillip Island, easily booked through Headout, provided diverse and interesting experiences. Churchill Island gave a historical perspective, while the Koala reserve informed us of endangered species. The Penguin Parade was the highlight, with the penguins arriving via a "penguin raft" to nest in their burrows for the night.

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Booking through Headout was quick, easy and hassle free, with our tickets delivered instantly and able to just scan at the doors at all attractions. The Penguin Parade was truly unforgettable seeing so many of little penguins waddling ashore at sunset, such a magical and heartwarming experience for our whole family. The facilities were well organised, staff were friendly and everything ran smoothly. This is a must do when visiting Phillip Island we’ll definitely be recommending both the Penguin Parade and Headout to friends and family.

We loved our visit to all 3 places,Churchill Island was greats for kids to watch farm animals, Koala reserve had very few koalas 🐨 but it was lovely to see them in their own safe zone , and last but not the lease penguin 🐧 parade , winters was not the best seasson to watch it as we could hardly witness 4-5 baby penguins. I am not sure about summers thought but it was a well spent day with family. I would love to this again n again n again. 😍

Fantastic 3 park pass! Making trips with kids easier. Because we all need easy and organized. Just scan on arrival and no waiting in ticket lines . Penguins 🐧 is the only one you need to set a date for so make the other parks work into your busy schedules! Great for all ages we have a 12 year old and a 15month old .

Experience wildlife and heritage at Phillip Island’s most iconic attractions

Spend a memorable day at Phillip Island, where nature, wildlife, and history come together for an unforgettable experience. With access to three of the island’s top attractions—Penguin Parade, Koala Conservation Reserve, and Churchill Island—this adventure is perfect for families, nature lovers, and curious explorers alike.

Stroll among sleepy koalas in the treetops

Begin your journey at the Koala Conservation Reserve, where treetop boardwalks wind through native bushland. As you walk through the eucalyptus trees, you'll come face-to-face with koalas dozing in the branches, completely undisturbed in their tranquil environment. The reserve also offers a chance to spot wallabies and vibrant native birds while learning about the ongoing conservation efforts to protect these iconic marsupials.

Step back in time on Churchill Island

Next, explore the historic charm of Churchill Island. With its 19th-century cottages, heritage gardens, and working farm, the island invites you to experience a slower pace of life. Observe daily farming demonstrations like cow milking and sheep shearing, or simply take in the peaceful scenery along the walking trails overlooking the coast.

Watch nature’s nightly show at the Penguin Parade

As evening sets in, make your way to Phillip Island Nature Park for the world-famous Penguin Parade. From the general viewing platform, you’ll witness hundreds of little penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling across the beach to their burrows. Follow their journey along the boardwalks and spend time at the visitor centre, where interactive exhibits offer deeper insight into the life of these fascinating creatures.
