    I have been here before many years ago and loved it. I took my family this time so they could experience it. We all had so much fun and the sunset over the beach was absolutely beautiful !!! I could hear people behind us disappointed that they didn't see many penguins. I think it's important to remember that the great thing about this experience is it's seeing penguins in nature not in a zoo. If you see 10 penguins you should be greatful to be able to experience wildlife in a safe environment. We stayed on the viewing deck for longer than others then made our way back to see the penguins nesting with their chicks. It was so cool! I would suggest not to have outlandish expectations to the amount of birds you will see and rather to just enjoy the experience of being able to see any at all. The view is amazing and the staff are all kind.

    Penguin Parade Experience is truly amazing! Experience the magic of witnessing a parade of Little Penguins waddle ashore at sunset with The Penguin Parade at Phillip Island, an unforgettable experience holiday break with a highlight that promises to leave you inspired. To make the most of this encounter, consider upgrading to Penguins Plus for unparalleled views or opt for the Underground Viewing experience, offering an intimate and sheltered perspective. Top Tips for Your Visit: Best Views: Upgrade to Penguins Plus to witness penguins strolling beneath the boardwalk. Timing: Plan to arrive at least an hour before sunset to soak in the full experience, which lasts around two hours. Comfort: Wrap up in warm layers and bring a blanket to shield against the chill, even on summer evenings. Photo Policy: Please refrain from taking pictures of the penguins with cameras or phones to ensure their protection. Alternative: The Underground Viewing offers a unique vantage point behind glass, keeping you warm and dry. Secure your spot by booking tickets in advance, as this once-in-a-lifetime experience tends to sell out quickly. Seeing the penguins perspective is life realization of how we must be grateful and enjoy life! Plus i enjoyed walking in the boardwalk heading to the viewing point. Even though we dint see much Penguin this time compared the previous night, i still enjoyed chasing and having a closer encounter with Penguins. Also, encounter other animals like kangaroo, wombat and pigeons! Thank you for the experience and intense healthy lifestyle walking habit!

    I never thought I would be able to see Westwood's tartan wedding dress up close. I was delighted to see glitter under the skirt. It was a pleasure to see all the amazing outfits up close. I had to clasp my hands behind my back so I wouldn't touch anything!

    First trip with the grandkids. They were excited about the gold. With trepidation we took the mine tour & thoroughly enjoyed it. They loved colouring their candles.
