Phillip Island Nature Park
Help code: 367D-5CF4
Watch Little Penguins dash across the sand at sunset with a visit to the Penguin Parade. The explore the boardwalks after dark to see, smell and hear Little Penguins in the colony returning home to their burrows, greeting neighbours and their chicks. While you’re here, make sure you keep an eye out for other local residents including Swamp Wallabies, Eastern Barred Bandicoots, Cape Barren Geese and Short-tailed Shearwaters.
Every visit to the Penguin Parade protects nature for wildlife. It means the Nature Parks rangers can revegetate and maintain Little Penguin habitat for penguins and visitors to enjoy.
You can choose from three viewing options at the Penguin Parade. Penguins Plus provides a more intimate experience with a smaller capacity and located right beside our main penguin highway from the ocean. General Viewing has excellent views of the Little Penguins waddling up the beach and into the colony.
Due to planned maintenance work, there may be a small disruption to your visit. The Penguins Plus viewing stands will be closed for redevelopment from 14 June to 6 November 2024.
The Penguin Parade Visitor Centre will open as usual from 5.15 pm daily. The Nobbies Centre will remain open from 10.00 am to 4.30 pm daily.
Witness the natural spectacle of the world’s smallest penguins arriving home at sunset each evening on Phillip Island. Watch as they emerge from the waves and waddle across the sand to the safety of their burrows. .
“Spend some time on the boardwalks after the penguins have arrived to get some up close views of the penguins near their burrows.”
