Moonlit Sanctuary | Discover Australia’s Native Species

Ticketing was easy to follow and information and maps for the three activities were good. The staff at all three were really helpful, pleasant and made the experiences fun. It was fun getting close to the animals at Churchill Island and the highlight was milking the cow. Walking around the koala reserve and again getting to see them up close was special. The highlight of the afternoon was the penguin parade, particularly getting to see them as they went to their burrows, from the boardwalk. We all agreed that we had a great day. We self drove.

The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, making our experience a great one. And the penguins were so cute and adorable when they came into the beach.

Loved every bit of Churchill island and the activities they host and the penguin parade is soo cute.

Everything and it was great and my cousins loved seening the penguins as they were from America

Spending time as a family is always a winner Phillip island is a welcoming place great food the experiences allowed us to get up and personal with the animals

Purchase of the tickets was easy, as was the ticket redemption. The event was sold out so very busy at the visitors centre. Plenty of parking space available. Staff were pleasant and knowledgeable. Disappointed at the number of penguins but this can't be predicted or controlled. Much easier and more exciting to watch them waddle back to their "burrows" as you walk back along the boardwalk. A lovely 70th birthday experience for me to share with my family 😀

The Churchill heritage farm is beautifull and I thoroughly enjoyed the time. The penguin experience was very crowded and not enjoyable for me and the five koalas at the park seem happy enough but sad how they are only allowed on certain trees near the boardwalk must be noisy for them and the poor penguins but this is conservation apparently

The whole experience was amazing, I was so in awe of these little creatures who show such reslience to get up to their little homes eahc night after a big day out in the ocean. The architecture of the building at the Penguin Parade is something to see. Also the reason I found this opportunity was listening to Martin Clunes on a documentary about the best Islands in Australia where he shared the plight and story of these 30cm (1 kg in weight) snallest penguins in the world.

The penguins of course but disliked the fact too many people, no photos but everyone was taking photos whilst penguins were walking up to their burrow and stunning them. I felt it distressing. That's not keeping them safe

A fun night. Cold but entertaining. Penguins arrived hesitantly but scurried quickly once the group was big enough. The displays in the Penguin Parade centre were interesting. Lots to see and do...

The penguins were great. The guides were great. The foreigners kept disobeying the rules...not sitting down and always using their phone

Had a great time. Needing an app for the tickets was a bit of a pain, but luckily all the staff at the three parks were very helpful and understanding about our not wanting the hassle.

We absolutely loved where we were sitting. The penguins came out straight in front of us and it was awesome. Loved seeing them swim in and wait for their friends to come join them before they headed up the beach.

The ticketing system was easy as! Ticket, simple and fast. The experience was awesome watching the penguins roll in after dusk.... very special indeed, wish we could have stayed longer than the 50mins of lights though!

Seeing the little penguins and spending time observing them in their environment. We also got to see the bandicoot and a few possums :)

It's really well set out and organised and the educational piece at the start was useful. Ticketing was easy although I don't download the app and didn't need to so could have done without being told I needed that extra step.

A wonderful experience seeing the little penguins exiting the ocean under a full moon! Witnessing this natural phenomenon was a real privilege. The event was very well organised by the co-ordinators.

The walk to watch the parade was very good, seating was really good, guides were great even when they had people still wanting to take photos they had great patience, the facilities where first clss, great evening that we recommending to all our family and friends.

My first time taking my 2 kids 12 and 8 to the penguins. The kids loved seeing the penguins up close and fearing their sounds as they found their burrows. . There were a lot of disrespectful people there standing up and taking photos and videos. It was a sold out evening so we barely got to see any penguins coming on to shore, maybe 4. Thank goodness their experience was made so much better as we walked back along the boardwalk. . The staff were great but constantly having to tell people to sit down and stop using their phones for photos and video.

I enjoyed the experience of waiting and watching the penguins to return home. I had no expectations, so it made the experience more joyful as I waited in anticipation for the arrival of their return. One of nature's amazing gift to us.

Ticketing via your website was very easy. Your commentary from Sue was fantastic, she knows her stuff. Thank you. We spoke to a few guides and they were all great to have chat about the penguins with.

Amazing experience and great staff .. very convenient parking and facilities...

Excellent experience with knowledge guiders

I thought the place was bigger and had more activities.. it is beautiful but I expected more. Also the staff was not friendly at the entrance and in the cafe .
