THE BIG GOOSE
π Moorooduc, VIC
Adventure farm and wildlife park on the Mornington Peninsula featuring native Australian animal enclosures including kangaroos, wombats, and guinea pigs, plus a jumping pillow, maze, mini-golf, and tractor rides. On-site restaurant with ice cream.
The big goose is worth every penny and our family love it here, we spent almost 4 hours here, there is loads to do with so many different enclosures with all sorts Australia animals, petting the guinea pigs were a favorite and the kangaroos too. And the baby wombat was a winner π Plus best of all was the reptile show, my kids absolutely loved it!!!! We will be back and we can highly recommend it to anyone else who wants to enjoy a day out β€οΈ
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids who want extended hands-on animal contact rather than a walk-past zoo experience. The staff actively involve children in feeding and animal handling, and the wombat joey feeding session is specifically called out as a rare encounter.

βWe had such a lovely time at The Big Goose! The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond, sharing loads of detailed information that made the experience even more enjoyable. We felt really lucky to catch a special momentβwatching a wombat and her baby being fed by the staff. It was adorable and unforgettable! The whole place is well set up for families and animal lovers. Highly recommend for a fun and educational day out.β

βSuch a great place for families. The kids absolutely loved it and there are so many different animals to see and feed, and plenty of space for them to run around. Everything felt really clean and well looked after too. The restaurant was also really good, with lots of food options and tasty ice cream for dessert. Itβs an awesome spot to spend a few hours or even a full day. Weβll definitely be coming back.β
