Full details inside

Discover Phillip Island holiday fun with an escape to Victoria’s fun Island just ninety minutes drive from Melbourne!

Holidays, particularly family holidays, tend to fall into two categories: a memorable love-in or nerve-fraying torture. To ensure a successful break away with the youngsters, parents need the right mix of fun, good value, all-weather activities and entertainment for varying ages. Based on this checklist Phillip Island, 90 minutes from Melbourne on Victoria’s south-east coast, is the ideal family holiday destination, guaranteeing a memorable experience.

This September we have a fantastic new festival kicking off the break, Kids are Family will be held on the 18th and 19th September, offering families with kids aged 4–14 challenging and interesting activities to fill a full day and includes entry to the fascinating A Maze’N Things and Koala Conservation Centre.

With the island’s mix of diverse coastlines, wildlife attractions and entertainment parks – the amusing and educational – have been designed to suit all budgets and are all in close proximity to each other. And if you’re visiting for just a few days or few weeks, there’s ample to keep even the most-choosy child amused. In fact some of the best value activities come free and can be found on the island’s 100 kilometres of diverse coastline – all within a maximum 15 minute drive.

Experience wildlife, farming, fishing, cooking classes, ten pin bowling, mini golf, maze, chocolate, history, surfing, entertainment, action helicopter flights, go-karting, circuit tours, cruises, bike riding, walking, golf, tennis, ranger adventures and more on this unique Island. Plus an array of villages full of shopping, food and wine experiences. Accommodation choices include resorts, holiday parks, motels and apartments to suit all budgets and family needs.

For further information on Phillip Island accommodation, activities, attractions and what is on this September see visitphillipisland.com or call the Visitor Information Centre on 1300 366 422.
