About this experience
The Koala Conservation Reserve is a protected area in Australia that is dedicated to the conservation of koalas and their habitat. Located in Phillip Island, it is home to a large number of koalas and other native Australian wildlife such as wallabies, echidnas, and birds. The reserve also offers activities that are fun for the whole family, including guided tours, koala encounters, and interactive exhibits.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or is a mobile ticket accepted?
A mobile ticket displayed on your phone screen is accepted at the entrance — no printing needed.
What are the opening hours?
Opening hours vary by season. Check the official Phillip Island Nature Parks website before your visit to confirm the times on your chosen date.
Are koalas actually visible, or are sightings rare?
Koalas are present throughout the reserve and the tree-top boardwalks are designed to bring you to their level in the canopy, making sightings far more reliable than in the wild.
Is the three-park pass worth it if I also want to see the Penguin Parade?
If you plan to visit two or more of the parks — Koala Conservation Reserve, Penguin Parade, and Churchill Island — the three-park pass offers better value than buying separate tickets.
Is the reserve suitable for pushchairs and wheelchair users?
The boardwalk circuit is relatively flat and accessible; however, we recommend checking with Phillip Island Nature Parks directly for the latest accessibility information before your visit.
How far in advance do I need to book?
You can book right up to your visit date, but booking ahead secures your preferred date and means you head straight to the entrance without queuing at the ticket desk.
