OK, let's get to know about the island a bit better first! Penguin Island or the Phillip Island is in Melbourne. Even though summer is the best time to visit the island, thousands of travelers from around the world visit this great travel destination throughout the year. Why this many visitors hit the island throughout the year? Well, the island is known for little penguins, but you got many other activities to do and many places to witness on the island. In fact, kids and teenage children love this island the most as they are the ones who can enjoy the trip to the max. Well, don't get us wrong! As the parents, you too can have time to remember for a lifetime on the island. The island itself is fun to look and enjoy the trip to the max. You can reach the island in your car within 90 minutes from Melbourne. Heading to the island as early as possible in the morning will let you visit many places on the island without rushing and with peace of mind within a day.
You can enter some places for FREE, but tickets should be purchased for witnessing special attractions such as witnessing the little penguins on the Penguin Island. Anyway, this travel destination is known for affordable ticket prices. Quick tip: if you go with your whole family; purchase tickets as a package, which will save you a few more dollars than purchasing tickets individually. For example, the THREE PARKS FAMILY pass cost $104, which includes two adults and two children. Teenage children fall under adult rates. This ticket package lets you enter three main attractions on the island. You won't get confused on the island — maps and notice boards are everywhere to guide the visitors to the right attractions.
OK, let's start with the Churchill Island Heritage Farm for your kids. This is the best place to give your kids a great time with trained animals such as cows, sheep, goats, and horses. You and kids can feed these trained animals. Don't worry! They don't harm anyone. Anyway, a park official is always there to guarantee your safety when on the farm. Kids who live in cities don't get a chance to explore the village life. And, that is why the officials of the Penguin Island maintain this heritage farm to let the kids living in cities explore the village life in a fun way. You can spend an hour here; hurry up! You got more places to visit. Anyway, getting your kids to come with you after visiting this farm will be a nightmare. Kids love to spend time with cute animals such as sheep and horses.

This is one of the best places in the world to witness koalas in their natural habitat. The natural bushland will give you a forest feeling. Seeing the koalas resting on trees is more fun than seeing them in a cage. You can get as close as possible to a cute koala if it is your lucky day. Anyway, koalas are known for their extended sleeping pattern; these animals sleep for over 20 hours a day. Don't worry! Seeing a “Sleeping Koala” is also fun and a “cute” experience. The cousins of kangaroos, wild wallabies also can be seen in the bushland. Walking trails along the bushland make the journey fun and easy for your family. The koala conversation center is the place to learn more about these cute animals. You can buy a few soft toys for your kids here.
OK, let's get to know about an attraction on the Penguin Island for you teenage children now! The new adventure boat tour. A clear and sunny day would be an ideal day to enjoy the adventure boat ride to the max. The boat cruising at a high speed can make you feel cold on a cloudy day.

Anyway, it will be an adventurous experience for your teenage children. They will love it so. The climax of the boat ride is the Australian fur seal colony. This is one of the best places on earth to witness seals on their natural habitat, rocks. On a clear day, you could see the dolphins too, which is a bonus.
