Phillip Island Wildlife Park — Attraction in Cowes

This park was a terrible experience, I felt so unbelievable sorry for the animals. Their spaces were too tiny, and many times there were way to many animals in one tiny compound. The wallabys tried to hide away from the tourists, who continuously followed them, especially the children who just grabbed and pet them. No park staff was around to supervise. I assume they have too less staff, but we've seen a couple of French tourists trying to dress up a kangaroo to take pictures with it, and chasing after emus screaming. We intervened and reported this behavior to the staff, but the park staff first acted as if they don't understand us and then instead took out the rest of our group and left the French tourists in there. The whole place looks incredibly run down, there are shards and sharp corners everywhere, a friend of mine stepped into a pin needle and we were shocked - the animals could have stepped into this and nobody would have even noticed. Many areas were completely barren of green, which gave the assumption that most of the animals are not given food so they come to the tourists so they can feed and touch them. The birds seemed totally apathic, their spaces were so small they could barely fly. It broke our hearts to see a majestic and huge eagle in a tiny compound, how can an animal that big ever put into a cage? This is not animal-friendly at all. The bats were in a cage with bright lamps pointed on them. Parents didn't control their children, who ran screaming after the animals, trying to touch and pet them everywhere. The animals seem so apathic that they don't care. Everything looked very neglected, broke and barren.

It seems that for this park, it's most important that the humans have fun. Please, if you love animals, don't go this park. We spent a night in Wilsons Prom and saw so many of the animals there,...

This park is an ideal place to visit with your family, especially with kids. The park provides visitors with a unique opportunity to interact with some of Australia's amazing wildlife, including kangaroos and emus.

The free-roaming kangaroos and emus were such a delight to feed with the food bag that was provided to us when we bought the tickets. This made the experience even more exciting and fun-filled for the kids and adults alike. We were also able to see some other amazing animals like koalas, reptiles, and bird-kind-of creatures, which was a thrilling experience.

Despite my usual reservations about animals being caged, I must say that the staff at Phillip Island Wildlife Park takes excellent care of the animals. The animals are kept in spacious and comfortable environments that mimic their natural habitats, which is commendable.

The staff at the park were also very helpful and friendly. The park is well-maintained, clean, and well-organized, making it a great place to spend the day with your family.
