About this activity

Phillip Island Wildlife Park Seeing Australia's famous wildlife and encountering some rarely encountered ones is a wonderful experience for both international and local visitors.

This park is home to over 100 different species of Australian animals, and you can see, hand feed, and experience close encounters with them here. You will be astonished to find such a wide variety of native animals located just 2 kilometres from the major town of Cowes.

You can see the wildlife that Australia is renowned for and also spot some animals that are seldom seen in a wonderful experience for both international and local visitors.

There are over 100 species spread across this 60 acre environment where many of the species are free roaming and may be encountered at any time, particularly kangaroos and wallabies who can be hand fed.

There are a large variety of birds living here, plus koalas and bats who can be viewed by elevated boardwalks. Reptiles and snakes are also common in great numbers.

In addition to being home to a variety of birds, the area is often filled with their distinct calls. The Emu and the Cassowary, two of the park's biggest species, are sure to amaze you. See nocturnal birds like the Tawny Frogmouth and Owls of several varieties. Colourful parrots, Cockatoos, and large and small birds of prey are among the favourites. Children will be enthralled as they enjoy spotting a hanging bat, an immobile koala, or a baby kangaroo. They will admire the wallaby's fur and the wombat's coarse coat in addition to the wombat's rough coat and the koala's immobile nature.

Be sure to feed and pet the Kangaroos and Wallabies.

Throughout the grounds, Kangaroos and Wallabies roam freely, and you can feed and pat them. The Red Kangaroo and Parma Wallaby, among the largest Kangaroo relatives, are available for hand feeding, as are the Red-necked Pademelons, the smallest. View Kangaroos with joeys all year round. View Koalas up close and personal from our raised boardwalk and see them eye to eye.
