Dear ozbargainers,
Going to phillip island soon, deciding whther to go to Phillip Island Wildlife Park or Maru Koala and Animal Park. Both have good reviews on trip advisor.
Would like to ask from ozbargainers past visitors whether there is a preference for one over the other.
Many thanks
I've only been to Phillip Island at night in summer so I'll give some insight into that.
At Phillip Island, you're battling crazy winds at sub 0C temperatures these days (if you're seeing the penguins) and I was freezing to death at 6PM. The penguin attraction is overrated. Everyone gets hyped seeing penguins but reality is that you see them walk up a beach and then into their burrows and that's it. Most people get up and leave after 5 minutes after the first penguins arrive. It's too bloody dark these days as well and you can't use the flash to take pictures or you'll frighten them.
