Pretty good.
Well maintained and staff available in the boardwalk area, should you need them.
You can see several koalas and would be just about guaranteed to see one. They're fairly difficult to see in detail unless you have a good camera or binoculars but you can see them up in the treetops from below.
Some interactive things/craft and colouring zone for kids or koala themed play equipment would improve the place. The potting up of seeds was a cool thing to do and there were interesting displays inside.
The gift shop had a few soft toys and gift type items.
Toilets were available but there was only one unisex toilet and one disabled toilet. They're located out the front on the deck.
I really want to thank all the people who contributed to support this conservation center. Hats off for your effort. Really enjoyed the walk in the park. Sighted so many beautiful things in the visit. Friendly staff and beautifully designed sites for koala and other dwellers. Kids will love to see beautiful and majestic Koala.
This was our first stop after a long drive and I actually enjoyed this more than the penguin parade.
A nice tranquil walk through the reserve whilst looking out for wallabies, birds and of course koalas. I think we were lucky (or they’re more active closer to dusk) but we counted and saw most of the koalas that were in each area. Several were very close to the boardwalk rather than up in the trees. A few of the wallabies and koalas had babies as well.
We drove past a more expensive koala park on the way that looked like it was going for the family theme park with koala vibe so if people have hyperactive kids this may not be for you.
Would highly recommend this place and look forward to seeing how they develop with more spaces in the future.
A great place to get a close encounter with koalas without disrupting them too much.
The rescued koalas are grouped into two colonies and some freelancers. The two groups are placed inside their own enclosed area with elevated walking platforms for visitors to see them up close. For the free roaming ones, the centre staff places signs on the ground helping visitors to spot them high up: after all, they are koalas so they will be there for most of the day.
Some other animals are also present but we only spotted a wallaby. There are also conservation programs on some sea birds.
If you are visiting Phillip Island for better known attractions like the penguin parade, consider visiting this as well.
Never have I seen so many active koalas in one seating! Thank you to the staff and rangers for a great job. We saw about 15 koalas in total (active and asleep). Even saw a kangaroo! Place had a nice trek for you to walkabout. A great souvenir shop and clean washrooms available.
An amazing experience, the Koalas 🐨 gorgeous.
There are signs around the different walks that tell you that there is a koala nearby. They were quite active when we were there, and 2 had babies!
The raised board walks allow you to see the Koalas much more easily. …
The main visitor centre provides a lot of interesting information in a visually stimulating and interactive manner. The two koala boardwalks provide an opportunity to get close to the koalas and watch them sleep, eat and sleep a little …
Saw 11 koalas close up. Boardwalks are great way to let you get close. Spent a good couple hours walking slowly along the walks. $37.50 for family of four is a great deal.
