Koala Conservation Centre Park Prices & Ticket Fees, Phillip Island
The park has been designed so that visitors can get up and close with the hundreds of koalas that call the conservation centre home. The boardwalks climb up into the trees so that you can see the koalas at eye level as they eat, sleep and climb. You might even get lucky and see some of the newborn babies as they cling to their mother’s backs.
With the aim of promoting koala conservation, this environmentally-minded attraction has been instrumental in saving Phillip Islands natural koala habitat which has seen the koalas in this area breed and grows in numbers. If you so choose, you can take a Koala Eco-Explorer Tour where you will be taken around the park by a ranger and given behind the scenes information about the koalas and their life on Phillip Island.
There is also a visitor interpretation centre in the park which gives important information about the various animals that live on Phillip Island as well as the conservation efforts in place to protect these beautiful Australian marsupials.
Is there public transport from Melbourne CBD to Phillip Island after 2pm? Thankyou
Hi June,
V/Line coaches run daily from Southern Cross Station to Phillip Island. There appears to be a 3pm bus that leaves Southern Cross station. Check out the Public Transport Victoria’s website here as they have a journey planner where you can input the day you wish to leave and the planning tool will give you the exact details of the route.
