21.01.2022 While we don't want to get all political... Local council elections are fast approaching and as a small business on the Mornington Peninsula we need votes to go towards changing current bureaucracy. We have hit roadblocks at every turn just trying to improve our facilities for the community. After discussions with Paul Mercurio we feel he could change the mindset of council to support small businesses rather than discouraging them. Do your research and make your vote count!

15.01.2022 The Big Goose and Covid 19 UPDATE: We are a family run private park and not government sponsored at all - we rely on money from admissions to support the animals. Although we must remain closed at this time we are still feeding and caring for our animals. The health and well being of our beautiful animals remains our top priority and as time goes on the financial burden is becoming increasingly difficult.... If you would like to support us at this challenging time we encourage you to please consider purchasing a Gift Voucher, valid for 3 years, or an Annual Membership from our website which will give you one years unlimited entry to The Big Goose from your first visit once we re-open. Most importantly it will mean that your money will be used right now to assist us to feed and care for all the animals at The Big Goose. We thank-you in advance for your support. www.thebiggoose.com.au **For those with a current Annual Pass we will be extending all passes by the period of time we are closed and will honour any vouchers that have expired during this time.**
