Friendly service, healthy animals and enjoyable shows (informative and straight to the point; kept my 4 year old engaged). Also, what sets this farm apart from other farms are the playgrounds. We had such a great time here!
My 2 year old loved feeding the animals. It is a great place to learn about farm and wildlife. Teaches kids to be kind and gentle towards animals. Will definitely come back.
The place overall is good and the reptile show was worth it but one of the staff member at bunny enclosure was very rude. He got aggressive towards my two year old because my son was shouting there (which I agree was my fault) but hey common he is just two year old. He could have dealt with this more gently or softly. I found him bit racist as there were other school children doing the same thing much more older than my son but he didn’t reacted to them. I have been to this farm few times before and have recommended to many of my friends but now they will never see us again.
Went today was such a fabulous family day out! It’s honestly a fun day for everyone of all ages but especially the kids, ours had such a fun time. The Reptile Show was really great and especially the guy who presented was fantastic! The grounds are really well kept and can see the animals are very well taken care of. Lovely cafe on site with great service too. We will definitely be back for more visits in the future with family & friends.
I love Big Goose. Everyone there is really friendly. The children love the animals and being able to feed and pat them. There is a lot to see and do. The play equipment is great. The picnic tables and cafe provide a nice break-time - and the cafe owners put effort into their coffees and baby-chinos and cleanliness. It's a really great, inexpensive, fun and easy day out for parents and children.
Such an amazing experience nursing animals, feeding them as well.
Mini Golf and Play area excellent for our Grandchildren. Love the Kangaroos, Camels, Goats, Geese, Llamas, Alpacas and Donkeys.
Don't forget to watch the Sheep Dog round up.

Best Easter we have had. Thank you. Highly recommend for a day out full of lots of activities and friendly staff and animals that are happy to say hello.
Too much of fun at this place and our kid burnt out all her energy in a very happy way. All staff were very friendly and the place was clean and organised. We loved all the cute animals and different play areas with exciting challenges. Highly recommended for young kids.
Great place to spend the entire day with your family. Lots of activities, shows and playgrounds.
Kids didn't want to leave (see the last photo).
The kids loved this place and the opportunities to feed the animals. The reptile show and the sheepdog show were fun to watch. The kids also loved the undercover playground.
The prams had to be parked outside the cafe in the open air. Unfortunately, it was rainy the day we went there and it started pouring while we were having our lunch inside the cafe. As a result, the pram was soaked when we came out from the cafe. It would have been a better experience if there was some undercover space to park our pram.
Towards the end of the day, my kids realised that they hadn't seen the animals in the barn and we rushed there about 15 minutes before the farm closes but was told by the staff that the barn was closed, which was fair enough.
The kids wanted to play a little bit longer before the farm closes. About 10 minutes before the farm's closing time, a staff came and told us that we had to leave because they were going to shut the gate of the farm and our car would be trapped in the farm if we don't leave soon enough. Maybe that was an effective strategy to get people out of the farm but that left a bad taste in my mouth.
A great place for all, a good variety of animals and birds. The childrens playgrounds were excellent. Cafe was good with pleasant helpful staff. Definitely will be going again.
Great place for kids and adults (big kids) We spent a few hours enjoying the animals and the beautiful sunshine on our grandson's 3rd birthday today. The staff are lovely and the reptile show was really informative and funny. We'll definitely be back
Very nice place, kids loved and enjoyed it. Reptile show was the best amongst everything, Lachlan/Lachy was very good with what he was doing and can easily manage the hardest crowd on earth (The Kids) also knows that humour mixed information reaches well. Definitely worth a visit at least once.
Amazing day. Such a big space and so much to do from the huge playground, safari tour, the maze and all the animals to feed.
Great place to take the kids for a day out. Plenty to see and do from the tractor ride, reptile show, mini golf and splash park (+25° days) to name a few. Just a shame the jumping pillow is out of operation. They also have a decent sized playground with slides, climbing nets and an old truck. Cafe serves a small variety of light meals, coffee and shakes and icecream. Definitely worth the drive if you're coming from Melbourne!
The kids loved it the playground and reptile show was great the kids can pat the bunnys and hamster's
Free tractor rides easy parking
Great day out
Good day out for the kids and parents, personally not worth the cost for interaction wise, but kids enjoy it.
A great family day out. With lots of friendly animals to see and meet we had a great day out. It's huge with a number of shows to watch and play and picnic areas.
What a great experience. Great facilities, well looked after, excellent family outing. Must-do for kids!
