Phillip Island

Phillip Island Entertainment

Phillip Island packs plenty of ways to spend time together, from wildlife encounters and interactive attractions to lively indoor games and performances. Watch little penguins return to shore, tackle puzzles and climbing challenges in Cowes, or settle in for a film, comedy show or live performance at Berninneit. Just across the bridge, San Remo adds a nearby night-out option with touring artists, tribute shows and local Sunday sessions.

There is also room for friendly competition and hands-on discovery: race around a replica Grand Prix circuit, bowl a few frames, explore a chocolate attraction or share an outing built around music and food. These providers offer varied settings for family days, group plans, celebrations and evenings out.
