I loved the experience, the structure and the stuff, very kind. But I didn't really like the fact that you had to download the app to have access at the tickets. I rather download a pdf for the ticket.

Easy to select and purchase tickets for the Penguin Parade. Seeing the penguins move from the ocean to their burrows was amazing. Highly recommended.

We booked the ticket but we did not receive the tickets on the day we booked for, and we got a bit concerned and placed a call to the helpdesk. They helped us quickly and provided the tickets. So overall the ticketing experience was good

Your experience

Every morning, little penguins (they're only a bit taller than bowling pins!) depart from their burrow and spend the day fishing at sea. During the course of the day, they will travel up to 20km in search of fish. After dusk, they return home and waddle across the beach in a penguin parade. It's one of the cutest displays of wildlife you will get to see. The sheer quantity of the penguins will surprise you, and you will be able to see them easily from the platform you have chosen during checkout. The best part is that the park is accessible within 90 minutes from Melbourne, and is an attraction that both adults and kids alike will enjoy!

All parks are accessible by wheelchair.
