It's my second time of visiting Philip Island and I will always love to bring back my friends and family for the wild life parks and Penguins. Penguin Parade is the highlight of the tour.

Booking was easy, however, information on each type of ticket was rather ambiguous resulting in us booking another 4 tickets directly with Sovereign Hill for the 8.45pm show, to ensure we get to see the winter wonder lights. As it turned out however, the 5 - 7pm session included the winter wonder lights, so in fact we double booked to see the same show twice. Not happy.
