About
Overview The Big Goose is an animal farm and adventure park located in Moorooduc on the Mornington Peninsula. The venue combines hands-on farm experiences with a range of recreational activities. It features a variety of animals, including traditional farm animals like goats and lambs, as well as native Australian wildlife such as kangaroos, emus, and wombats. Guests can interact with some animals directly in the petting barn, which houses smaller animals like guinea pigs and rabbits, and can purchase food to feed kangaroos and other farm animals.
In addition to the animal encounters, the park includes several adventure and play attractions. These include a large, undercover adventure playground with slides and climbing structures, a giant jumping pillow, a tyre maze, and an 18-hole mini-golf course. The park also offers scheduled daily activities that are included with entry, such as tractor rides around the property, sheepdog shows, and reptile presentations. A seasonal splash park operates on days when the temperature is forecast to be over 25 degrees.
