This place is small and has several Koala. If you have never seen it before, you will see it. These things are normally high up in the trees sleeping - you mostly likely only have a good view from its rear. The visitor center has two animated ones - that will be your only good view of Koala.

It was great to see koalas up close and in their natural habitat. We saw many more than I expected - it was a real treat. The younger kids were delighted to spot koalas in the trees. It's a nice park to walk around and see other native wildlife - we saw wallabies, galahs, swans and kookaburras. A couple of...

It was beautiful to see the koalas in the trees as they swayed heavily from the strong breezes.

We spotted many from the path and then climbed a treetop height boardwalk to view the natives at close quarters.A visit is...

Went to Phillip Island late afternoon for penguin parade and bought discount ticket for here to kill time. Great centre saw loads of Koala. Lovely staff and really interesting talk and show. Kids saw Koala less than 1m up in the trees. Nice nature walk with walabees etc. We had a nice little walk around amongst them. Kids loved this...

This is a well-designed park, with clear walkways and elevated boardwalks - saw a dozen or so koalas, mostly napping - which is what they do best.
