10 family fun ideas to do these Easter Holidays on Phillip Island
10 family fun ideas to do these Easter Holidays on Phillip Island
1. Explore the great outdoors and soak up Phillip Island and Bass Coast's beautiful scenery on one of the many Hiking and Biking Trails. The area offers a range of trails for all levels, and it is a great way to stay active and make the most of the beautiful Autumn weather!
2. Become a keeper for a day at Maru Koala and Animal Park!
Take the opportunity to experience being an honorary 'Keeper for a Day' at Maru this School Holidays. Work closely with one of their experienced Park Keepers and assist them with a number of tasks during the day as they feed and take care of the Animals of Maru. Full-day and half-day options are available, and they have a special discount for bookings with two people. Keeper for a Day will be available on Thursday 4th, Saturday 6th, Wednesday 10th and Sunday 13th of April, and spaces are limited.
3. Set a family challenge, try for the fastest lap at the Phillip Island Go-Karts, test your agility at Clip N Climb Phillip Island, and see who can get the most strikes at Phillip Island Tenpin Bowling. Or create your very own Holey Moley challenge at one or all of our mini-golf courses, including Grumpy's Crazy Golf, A Maze'N Things and Maru Koala and Animal Park.
4. Watch the Pelicans gobble down their lunch! Every day at midday, on the foreshore outside the San Remo Fisherman's Co-op, you can see a big group of excited, hungry pelicans swaying their big beaks and squabbling for their fresh fish lunch. While fun to watch, the Pelican feeding is not just about entertaining the crowd - it's an excellent opportunity to learn about the Pelicans, diet, and lifestyle. After the feeding, take a stroll on the pier and look out for large stingrays gliding through the water below.
5. For an unforgettable experience, take to the sky and see Phillip Island's spectacular coastline and landscape from above with Phillip Island Helicopters!
6. Learn about the unique wildlife of Phillip Island and beyond at one of the Phillip Island Nature Parks' attractions. Watch the world's smallest penguins waddle on home at sunset, spot koalas lazing among the gumtrees and wander the gardens and watch the farm demonstrations at Churchill Island. Enjoy Easter at Churchill Island with live music, wine tasting and high tea, Bandicoot Discovery Tours and so much more this Easter long weekend Friday 29 March to Monday 1 April.
