A great experience for the whole family. With a great value for money we could visit 3 different attractions. They were all nature related. Being a homeschool family we value the natural interactions. It was a wonderful experience, easy to access all the attractions and an opportunity for bonding and learning together.

Sitting on the sand by the wild Bass Strait, wind in our faces, we waited patiently as the sun set. And then magically, in small groups of 6-10 the fairy penguins emerged from the surf and began there long slow waddle up the beach, into the dunes, to the safety of their burrows. A wonderful nature experience at Philip Island, very well managed and highly recommended.

The kids and I had a great time panning for gold and touring the underground mine. Loved the wagon wheel factory, the belt systems were amazing to see, a reminder of how much things have changed. Highly recommend.

Sovereign Hill is a great day out for the whole family. There is lots to see and do such as panning for gold, watching a wheel being made, going down into a mine, watching lollies being made, seeing the authentic buildings, characters and displays from the 1850s, and so much more. We went on a weekday in September and apart from a few school groups it was fairly quiet which made it easy to make your way around the town and get to all of the events. There are a few different food options available and some unique items and souvenirs you can buy. It's a full day so make sure you are there early to ensure you can go to all of the activities that are scheduled throughout the day.
