Its a good experience for the people who never seen penguins before
Philip Island is one of the best places that i love. So I love everything here. I like the vibe here. This is the second time that I’m taking this experience and it's something I can’t forget. The guidance and the information they give to people is marvellous.
A beautiful experience.
We loved the penguin parade. They are so cute coming out of the water. Theres also lots of penguins to see on the land and in their burrows. There's a licensed restaurant at the venue so you can have dinner before it starts. Would also recommend driving to Nobbie's lookout before you get there. Theres lots of wildlife about so drive carefully, and pay attention to where you park as its dark when you leave.
What you can expect
Experience the world-famous Penguin Parade at Phillip Island with a two-hour premium viewing experience. Be in awe as thousands of Little Penguins emerge from the ocean at sunset and cross Summerlands Beach. Guests can watch this iconic sight from an intimate, elevated, and newly constructed beachfront stand that seats up to 90 guests and provides uninterrupted views. Set against the stunning backdrop of Bass Strait, golden sunsets, and ocean breezes, the sounds of native wildlife and nature only add to the moment's magic.
Led by experts in conservation, the Penguin Parade combines world-class wildlife viewing with conservation education. Guests can learn from the visitor centre exhibits or speak to wildlife rangers to discover penguin behaviour, breeding cycles, and ongoing efforts to protect this wonderful species.

Review for Phillip Island Nature Parks Penguin Parade Entry
Got teary watching the penguins coming back to their nests.
It's amazing how everything's set up to protect them from invasive species (foxes) and human development. 100% recommended. Facilities before entering the beach is surprisingly modern and clean and offer plenty of amenities. Parking's not too difficult as long as you're not late.
