THE BIG GOOSE

Have been here 3 times now, the most recent for my sons 3rd Birthday with his Aunt and cousins and sister. Always an amazing day out, yes it’s more costly than other childrens farms but if you’re going in Summer, you get the Splash Park which makes it worth it. Don’t think I’d pay those prices in Winter though, especially when mini golf, rides etc are extra. Also I must ask why the stuffed Guinea Pig is almost double the price of the other stuffed animals? It’s the smallest toy on offer but has the highest price tag? Lol my kids really wanted one but at $28 each it was way too much. Was also very hard to find any staff unless you went to the front kiosk or the cafe, my nieces hat flew off into the front paddock and my sister had to look for ages for someone to help (we’d just gotten there and it was very sunny and windy 28C so hat was definitely needed! Sad to not have pony rides there anymore too, was my kids fave part on previous visits but may have been a weather issue as it may have been too hot to work the ponies.Overall, as long as you bring your own food and drinks, the price is worth it…. On warm days (over 26 for splash park). Well worth the drive and the kids will definitely have a ball!! Our kids were ages 3 (just turned that week), 4, 8 and 9 and every one of them had the best day ever!

A bit far from North Melbourne but worth the trip. My son had a really good time. All the animals seem happy and the enclosures are spacious. The tractor ride is included in the ticket price. You have to separately buy pony ride and mini golf entry both of which are 5 dollars each. You can expect to spend around 3 to 4 hours here. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Visited The Big Goose over the school holidays as we usually do and on weekends. Always give it a 10/10. The staff are so friendly and fantastic with the animals. The animals are well looked after. My sons favourite part was the reptile show. The man who hosted the show who had a very well looked after beard was so knowledgeable and great with the animals and kids. He went into great depth about the reptiles. At the end of the show, people are able to come up closer to the reptiles and see them up close. They are allowed to touch them. The guy told the children when around them to not touch the heads of the animals as they can feel threatened, while they are handled all the time day in and day out they are still wild animals and can go into self defence mode if they feel threatened and for adults to always supervise your child.The tractor rides gives you a great view of the farm and is a novelty for the children.The sheep dog show is amazing to watch. its fascinating to watch dusty round them sheep upWe are an annual membership holder and won't be giving it up any time soon.highly recommend visiting when down on the Mornington peninsula. Great to also support small local businesses

Nice big farm. Lots of animals. The reptile show was really good.Upfront experience for the kids. Huge area, be ready to walk.There is free tractor ride.Pigs, cows, donkeys, emus, lamas, alpacas, sheep, goat, deer, kangaroos, horses Camels, Guinea pigs, wombats, dingoes, birds, goose, snakes, reptiles, rabbits, and many more.

We came here on Easter Monday and did charge a bit extra because of that. It's about 45 min from Melbourne, a nice animal farm to bring your kids to. We came with our two and a half years old toddler and he had a great time. I was expecting to see some more animals at the farm from what they have there now. There's a nice playground for the kids, our son could have spent the all day over there. The tractor ride was very short and simple and we didn't actually get to see many animals during the ride. The reptile and sheep dog shows were nice. There's a coffee shop and a food truck" on site for your coffee and food needs. All in all it was a nice visit."

A great experience for kids and adults alike. Get close to farm (and some slightly more exotic) animals and take in the fresh air. Free tractor rides are included with the entry fee, where you can get an overview of the whole farm. There's a reptile show, a sheep dog herding demonstration and a barn where you can see and pat some baby animals. There's a cafe for refueling and a variety of playgrounds to keep kids of all ages busy and active. Highly recommended for young families.

We loved our visit! You are able to see the animals up close which was perfect for our toddler. He especially loved feeding the kangaroos and wallabies by hand in the open enclosure and seeing the wombats up close during feeding time. The tractor ride is free and was good fun. There’s also a number of play grounds scattered through the property which we enjoyed. We’d recommend to anyone!

Our kids loved it. Easy drive, not super big, lots of animals and playgrounds. The coffee shop had good food too. We stayed for 3 hours and was good enough.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Big Goose Farm, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. One of the highlights for me was handfeeding the animals, which was a unique and interactive way to interact with them. The tractor ride was also a lot of fun, providing a great opportunity to see the farm and its inhabitants from a different perspective.I was also impressed with the reptile show, which featured a variety of fascinating creatures that I had never seen before. The presenter was knowledgeable and engaging, making it a great educational experience.Finally, the Easter special egg hunt was a fantastic way to cap off the visit. It was well-organized and provided a lot of excitement for both children and adults alike. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to the Big Goose Farm for anyone looking for a fun and memorable day out.

This is more than just a farm. Great for the whole family no matter what the age. A very full day of entertainment. No matter what the weather is. It's fun. Go enjoy.
