Spring has arrived and the animals of Phillip Island are springing into action to provide some amazing spectacles for families.
The penguins are laying their eggs, the Cape Barren geese have got little stripy chicks following their every move, little lambs are bouncing around Churchill Island, and Dory is busy trying to find her family at the Antarctic Journey.
These school holidays, explore the underwater world of the Finding Dory Immersive Zone at the Antarctic Journey at the Nobbies while staying warm and dry. Follow the journey of this forgetful blue tang fish as she sets out on a quest to find her family. Wriggle and wiggle your way through the Migration Tunnel, then forge a path through the ancient Kelp Forest to see if you can find Dory.
Maybe you’ll get some clues when you have a chat to Destiny the Whale and hear your own voice in whale speak. You’re sure to get some helpful pointers from Hank the Septapus as you explore the Marine Life Institute, but be careful you don’t go off in seven different directions.
The Finding Dory Immersive Zone will be at the Antarctic Journey at the Nobbies from Thursday 27 September to Wednesday 3 October between 11am and 2pm. Entry is free with a 4 Parks Pass to the Penguin Parade, Antarctic Journey, Koala Reserve and Churchill Island.
Speaking of all things fun and free, the rangers from Phillip Island Nature Parks have put together a great range of fun and educational free holiday activities. Join a ranger on Bugs, Bandicoots & Digs to learn about the critically endangered Eastern Barred Bandicoots which have found a new home on Churchill Island, then create some fun bandicoot and bug art.
Explore the bushland on a ranger-led Nature Scavenger Hunt or venture into the night for an after-dark Koala Prowl. Delve into the mysterious lives of rockpool creatures on a Rockpool Spotlighting adventure, or discover the wonders of the deep as a Beach Explorer and explore the many treasures washed ashore from the depths of the sea.
These free daily activities are happening between Monday 24 September and Sunday 7 October.
Make the most of your visit to Phillip Island with a great value 4 Parks Pass which includes discounted entry to the much loved Penguin Parade, Antarctic Journey, Koala Reserve and Churchill Island.
