点评:Maru Koala and Animal Park was one of the most enjoyable wildlife experiences during our visit to Phillip Island. Although it is not a huge attraction, it offers something many larger parks cannot — a relaxed atmosphere and genuine opportunities to get close to Australia's iconic animals.
The highlight for us was being able to observe the animals at close range and interact with some of them. The kangaroos and wallabies were friendly and curious, and it was a pleasure to hand-feed them. We also enjoyed seeing the koalas resting in the eucalyptus trees and watching the colourful birds around the park. One of my favourite moments was spotting a sleepy koala stretched out on a branch, completely relaxed and seemingly unconcerned about the visitors below.
The park is well laid out with easy walking paths, plenty of shade, and numerous opportunities for photography. Wildlife photographers and animal lovers will find no shortage of subjects. During our visit we were able to capture some wonderful photos of native birds and animals in natural-looking surroundings.
What impressed me most was the educational aspect of the park. The keeper talks provide interesting information about Australia's unique wildlife, conservation efforts, and the challenges faced by injured and orphaned animals. Knowing that the park is involved in wildlife rehabilitation added another layer of appreciation to the experience.
Families with children will find plenty to do, and there are additional activities such as mini golf and a café for those wanting to spend several hours on site. The atmosphere feels friendly and welcoming rather than commercial, which made the visit even more enjoyable.
If you are visiting Phillip Island and would like a closer encounter with Australian wildlife than you might get in the wild, Maru Koala and Animal Park is definitely worth including in your itinerary.
A fun, educational and memorable experience for visitors of all ages.

翻译:在菲利普岛之旅中,马鲁考拉动物园 (Maru Koala and Animal Park) 是我们最愉快的野生动物体验之一。虽然它并非大型景点,但却提供了许多大型公园所不具备的优势——轻松的氛围和与澳大利亚标志性动物近距离接触的绝佳机会。
对我们来说,最精彩的部分莫过于能够近距离观察动物,并与其中一些互动。袋鼠和沙袋鼠既友好又好奇,亲手喂食它们也让我们倍感愉悦。我们还欣赏了考拉在桉树上休憩的景象,以及园内五彩缤纷的鸟儿。我最喜欢的瞬间之一是看到一只昏昏欲睡的考拉懒洋洋地躺在树枝上,完全放松,似乎对下方的游客毫不在意。
公园布局合理,拥有便捷的步行道、充足的树荫,以及众多摄影机会。野生动物摄影师和动物爱好者在这里定能找到丰富的拍摄对象。在我们游览期间,我们拍摄到了一些在自然环境中栖息的本土鸟类和动物的精彩照片。
最令我印象深刻的是公园的教育意义。饲养员的讲解生动有趣,介绍了澳大利亚独特的野生动物、保护工作以及受伤和孤儿动物面临的挑战。得知动物园也参与野生动物救助工作,更让人倍感欣慰。
带孩子的家庭在这里能找到很多乐趣,此外,还有迷你高尔夫和咖啡馆等其他活动,适合想要在此消磨几个小时的游客。这里氛围友好亲切,而非商业化气息浓厚,让游览体验更加愉快。
如果您计划前往菲利普岛,并希望近距离接触澳大利亚野生动物,那么马鲁考拉动物园绝对值得列入您的行程。
这是一次老少皆宜、寓教于乐且令人难忘的体验。
