Wonderful daytrip to Phillip Island with young kids

We spent morning at A’Maze’n’Things, spent afternoon at Cowes Beach, then headed to Penguin Parade. Mid-November, the penguins came out 8:45pm and we stayed until 10pm. We did it as a day trip, but seems like a lot of accommodation in surrounding areas.
General seating at Penguin Parade was great for young family.

Family of four (2 adults + 2 preschoolers). We got to Penguin Parade complex by 7pm (penguins came out roughly 8:45pm, mid-Nov) so we had ample time to play in interactive area & browse shop before the main event. There was good seating & viewing for general ticket.
Phillip Island Penguin Parade with kids a success!

Brand new spacious modern complex with more interactive areas for kids which was informative and fun. Got to get so close to the penguins. We loved it! Experience Oz also made it more affordable & easy to book. Definitely worth the trip there, especially with little ones.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience of the wonders of nature.

Excellent experience, it was cold and windy when we visited, but if you rug up you will not regret visiting the penguin parade. A must-see for any animal lover while in Phillip Island. Take care to bring a face mask if you are visiting during covid restrictions.
How can you have a bad experience when penguins are so cute

How can you have a bad experience when penguins are so cute! Purchasing and picking up tickets was EASY - just pick them up at the entrance. Make sure to wear WARM clothing, it gets chilly at night and the penguins didn't come out until it was very dark out. Make sure to spend some time at the boardwalk looking at the penguins they are more up close there.
Great experience

Great experience. Thanks, we booked in advance. It was sold out before we arrived. Entry and parking were excellent. Penguins arrived on time. Had heaps of time viewing on the beach and up close on the boardwalk. Perfect season. Educational and nature awareness for kids. Relaxing night out while on the Island.

The booking process was simple, and we got our tickets from the counter easily.
The booking gave us all the instruction on how to call the centre to inform them about the booking.
I booked and the called immediately and the centre already had my booking.
Overall the process was simple and easy to use.

We booked the Phillip Island Penguin Parade General Admission tickets. After booking the tickets, when you reach there, they will hand over the tickets on the counter. At the entrance, it says what time you can expect to see the Penguins. We went on December, 28 and the arrival time was around 9-05 pm. It was an amazing experience to view the little Penguins coming out of the sea and walking towards their home. In summary, simple to purchase and easy to use.
The whole event is well managed within impressive facilities

The whole event is well managed within impressive facilities.
However, it is necessary to be there early to be assured of a good seat. Having obtained a good seat, there is then the double problem of the very confined seat becoming very uncomfortable through multiple hours of waiting while having little or no distraction from that discomfort.
The best viewing, in my opinion, is not seeing the dimly lit distant view of the birds making landfall, but on departing the stands, viewing birds seeking their burrows behind the stands and beside the walkways.
It was lovely sitting on the bench while waiting for the penguins to arrive - looking at the sea and listening to the sound of the waves

It was lovely sitting on the bench while waiting for the penguins to arrive - looking at the sea and listening to the sound of the waves. Seeing the penguins very close in the boardwalk was amazing! They were very cute. Facilities were great! Lots of fun too for kids at the centre.
