Family activities – Phillip Island
With its mixture of natural and man-made attractions, Phillip Island is a great destination for family holidays. The diverse coastline ranges from shallow swimming beaches to wild ocean beaches that are popular with surfers. A range of wildlife experiences and the many kid-friendly attractions such as A Maze‘N Things, the Indy GoKarts, helicopter tours and the Fun Shed also make a memorable holiday for the whole family.
Over the summer, a special program designed for kids offers the chance to participate in activities from bike tours to bush tucker trails, campfire nights to coast craft, spotlighting in the Koala Conservation Centre, fox hunts to catch the number one killer of penguins, a junior ranger program and rock pool rambles and spotlight tours. The program runs from December to March. For more information contact the local visitor information centre.

Phillip Island Wildlife Park
A great place to get close to koalas, furry wombats and kangaroos. Many of the animals roam free and can be fed by hand. A great favourite with younger children.
