This tour is hyped in all the travel literature. We found it highly overrated. The farm tour was the high to us, but you can see a working farm almost anywhere. The KoLa observatory was rather sad in the stE of the entrance. Even realizing that this is a sanctuary didnt account for the lack of information signage and no guides or audio. The koalas were pretty much invisible as it was daytime. I would rather have used my money for a donation, than bother with the long trip out there._br/_ The Penguin Parade was a disaster because of the buslloads of foreign travelers that refused to listen to the Rangers regarding no photography and to stay seated so that all visitors could watch the parade. The penguins were charming but the crowd was obnoxious.

Good but not great

It is amazing especially the penguin parade where you can see a lot of them washing up the beach by the waves.

Finally got to milk a cow at Heritage Farm--it's been on my bucket list for 60 years. The penguins were amazing--dress warmly though.

We felt the 3 Park Pass was good value for money. The Penguin Parade was cute, but your level of enjoyment will depend on just how cute you find little penguins. Like everything else that gets a massive build up, it's hard to match the level of expectation. Do be prepared for a long wait before they appear, and do come prepared for really cold weather once night falls - we were lucky, it was quite a warm evening, but even so . . ._br/_ We give top,marks to the Koala Centre, that was fascinating and a rare opportunity to get close to these increasingly rare animals in their natural habitat. Unfortunately we did not have time for the Farm, but would assume this would be quite interesting too. Certainly the 3 Park Pass is good value and worth getting if you are visiting Phillip Island.

Started w the heritage farm, fiollowed by the cuddly koala and ended w the penguin parade!_br/_ Should get accommodation on the island cos it could be pretty late when the penguin parade ends

Churchill Island was the highlight for me. Very interesting place. The Koala sanctuary was well set up with nice boardwalks, but you wont get much action from the Koalas who appear bored._br/_ The penguins were worth visiting, but there is quite a lot of waiting and if breezy the temperature drops so wrap up. They are very sweet when they emerge._br/_ You are not permitted to take photos at penguin parade as it might spook the penguins.

Churchill Island Farm is well worth it and enjoyable for everyone. Don't miss the whip cracking or working dog demo.

The park is still under development for more koalas ... we did see the biggest echidna though and that was great

The Koala Conservation was great, was amazing to see all the facts and saw 3-4 koalas within meters of me that was surreal. Then we went to Churchill Island which was the best of the three trips as there was so much there, whip cracking I got a twig whipped from my mouth and also cracked a whip A sheep getting sheared, working dogs, interesting birds just walking around the place and many other attractions.

The Koala Conservation Centre and the Penguin Parade were great. The Churchill Island Heritage Farm did not wow us but maybe we are quite used to farms so we did not see anything unusual. All staff were fantastic and it was very easy with the e-voucher.

Penguin Parade is a must do, fantastic evening watching the little fellas, Koala CC was okay but only partly opened to us because of high winds, we didn't do the Farm

We enjoyed everything about the tour with the little penguins top of the bill!
Review by: Toni C, February 2016
The penguins were gorgeous and the Centre and staff were good. Negative was the bus loads of international tourists who ignored staff instructions to remain seated and not to take photos and pushed and shoved my 5 yo and 21 month old. Didn and #39;t get to other 2 but staff said had 6 months to visir.

Getting the 3 attraction pass was really helpful and cheaper! The nobbies were awesome and the penguin parade was incredible
