penguin centre

This was a wonderful and cheap way to spend a few hours with my partner. The people were incredibly friendly and the penguins of course were a stand out. I would highly recommend visiting the centre when in Victor.

We visited the centre at feeding time and the lady there was so informative and the Penguins were just gorgeous. There are not many there as its little fellas who can't get released back into the wild. The centre gets no funding so your entry fee all goes to keeping this place alive. A must on granite island to help keep the cause going,

Credit to the volunteers and what they have to work with. But with no Government support and all but no penguins left on the island, last count about a dozen and only 3-4 in the centre what would you go there for other an penguin information. It's a shame that it has got to this. Though a walk around Granite Island is enjoyable and very scenic.

There were 8 penguins and we arrived just in time for feeding time. The lady who looked after them was really informative - she had names for all of them. She had had one of them for about 10 years. On the way out her husband had a Control bearded lizard and let my husband hold it. A very enjoyable visit and well worth the entrance fee.

Wonderful to be able to help out a little once we were discovered the plight of the fairy penguins on Granite Island. Great to see the penguins up close and to see them in action at feeding time.

Enjoyed the experience very informative the gentleman who took our tour was very happy to answer our questions there were penguins in the rescue centre and we saw a baby chick in the wild but unfortunately not many penguins coming around loved the experience thank you

We timed our visit with the penguin feeding which they do twice a day. It was great to get up close to the penguins. Great for kids & adults. Catch the horse drawn tram out and make a day of it.

We wanted to go on a penguin tour while we were in Victor Harbour for the week. We called a few times during our stay, to both the centre (and got voice mail) and two different mobile phone numbers (and got voice mail ). We left messages each time (3 different numbers) and no body bothered to call us back.Even called visitor information who tried to call and had no luck. So would have been lovely to see the the penguins but we couldn't even get to make a booking.

If you come here you need to do the penguin tour at night before all the penguins are gone. This is a penguin centre that is also a rehad for penguins injured in the wild. Great for the kids

The ones here at the centre have been rescued and are unable to be returned to the sea for many reasons. They are very interesting to watch. The talk was informative and you could ask many questions which was great for the kids. Well worth a look

A little bit of info in the center followed by watching the handlers feed the furry penguins. It was very cute, and there is obvious passion from the handlers. Inexpensive morning of fun.

The wild Penguins do not come ashore here any more so it is nice to see a few that live at the Centre. They are ones that had been injured and cannot be returned to the wild. They are well cared for and the staff love their work. The Hologram information provided is just enough and you should take the time to see it before the penguin feeding starts.

We tried to see the Penguin's for the morning feeding session. But due to a few big school groups going through the guide suggested we come back for the afternoon feed. So glad we did. Only three other people came for the 2:30pm feed. So we got the best view. Also had the chance to ask the volunteer heaps of questions. She was very informative and friendly.

We walked over to granite Island purely to visit the Penguins. We were there for the 11.30 feed. It was $8 per adult to watch the feeding. The penguins are very well cared for and the staff have great knowledge. Worth the visit and id happily pay again and again knowing the hard work this center does!

A bit pricey but was a good way to actually see penguins without going to the island at sunset. Interesting penguin talk and feeding. Just a bit smelly as expected
