The Big Goose is a place where you can meet friendly farm animals, experience exciting shows, and enjoy the fun of a farm playground. Located on the Mornington Peninsula, The Big Goose is a popular attraction for families with children. You can visit the petting barn and get close to the animals. There, you can encounter gentle lambs, cuddly kids (goats!), and playful guinea pigs. While the children might be captivated by the cuteness, some adults may find it a bit boring. Luckily, there are opportunities to see larger animals like ostriches, camels, pigs, donkeys, and even a Highland Coo, a Scottish breed of cow. The Big Goose is not just a petting zoo; a playground with a two-level net-crawling area, sand pit, ladders, slides, and a huge van connecting the levels is waiting for excited kids to explore. At the Big Goose, you can also enjoy a tractor ride around the farm and take part in a show. There is even a tyre maze for kids to test their navigating skills. If you get hungry, a cute retro Airstream trailer cafe provides snacks and drinks. On weekends and during school holidays, the animal shows take place in a red barn. During the reptile show, you can get up close and personal with snakes and lizards. The sheepdog show features a superstar kelpie named Dusty, who will impress you with her skills. The Big Goose is a perfect place to spend the day with family and friends.
