I come from the seymour/nagambie area where we have the Vietnam wall which is also fantastic....being an army brat and being at high school when all this was happening, to see a lot of the equipment they had and used was totally amazing. I was jusgg blown away by it all .

Very kids friendly! (Not really for prams though). Highly recommend putting babies in a carrier rather than the hassle of the pram! Very interesting place for nerds and budding magicians! Mini golf was great fun in great weather. You can spend HOURS here! So much...MoreThank you for your great review. I am really glad that you enjoyed the activities that we have to offer here at A Maze'N Things.

We stopped off at the Grand Prix circuit while visiting Phillip Island for the Penguin parade. There is plenty of free parking and a nice cafe and museum to visit (entry fee for this). A short walk takes you to a platform where you can watch the go cart track and enjoy the lovely views over the sea. They have some great tandem go carts suitable for an adult with a young child.

Phillip Island Wildlife Park

Reviewed By Travelaround59 - London

Bit disappointed really: the animals looked a bit tired and...bored!
It was ok to have a look at Australian wildlife (koala and kangaroo and emu) and feed them and take pictures but...wildlife park is the modern name for...zoo!
Mind you we have seen so many dead kangaroos on the Golden Coast drive that probably in the end these here have a better chance to survive.

The Nobbies Centre

The Nobbies Centre. Only 5 minutes from the Penguin Parade this spectacular headland offers stunning ocean views from clifftop boardwalks. View the world’s largest Australian Fur Seal colony at Seal Rocks, approximately 2km offshore. Home to the exciting Antarctic Journey multimedia attraction where you can take a virtual journey to the world's most remote continent.

Reviewed By Michael-4551 - Caloundra, Australia

Visited on Monday 26th February. We went inside for coffee and cake after our walk on the boardwalks. It was good to sit down and take in the view outside of the coastline away from the wind. They also have a souvenir shop as well as toilets there. Plenty of free parking outside. Just a pity you can't visit at sunset.

Phillip Island Nature Parks - Koala Conservation Centre

koala conservation centre. Meet our koalas ‘face to face’ from our amazing treetop boardwalks at this unique ecotourism attraction. This area of natural bush land isalso home to an amazing variety of birds and wildlife.

Reviewed By RecheleB - Renton, Washington

This park has easy walks on wooden boardwalks. The boardwalks are elevated to put you up into the trees. The koalas are asleep because they sleep 20 hours a day. They are adorable! Make sure to try out both boardwalks because you won’t know which one has the best views. Be on the lookout for wallabies and birds during your visit. The animals have lots of space.
The parks program has water filling stations, which are great for refilling you water bottles. There is an information area about the koalas before (or after) you view the koalas, plus a gift store. Proceeds go to protect and support the animals.
