The Big Goose, A brand new animal farm and adventure playground in Moorooduc on the Mornington Peninsula will be celebrating their grand opening in time for the September school holidays. This animal farm offers pony rides, tractor rides, mini golf, adventure playground and more. Admission does seem a little expensive but as I haven't visited it's hard to gauge value for money. A family of 4 is $50, Adults $17, children $13, under 2's free and $5 for extra activities such as tractor ride, pony ride and mini golf. There is an onsite cafe and picnics are welcomed.

Royal Melbourne Show is something everyone will know about already but I can't go past a September school holiday events list without including this iconic event. Held from the 19th-29th of September the show really is a fun family day out. There are plenty of free things to see and do at the show so make sure you check the show schedule before you go.
