Petting Zoo & Pony Rides
(scroll down past photos for pricing)
If you combine the Petting Zoo and the pony rides you can save! Rather than booking separately, you can combine to two for double the fun. We have lots of different options from birthday party packages all the way to corporate event packages and community festivals.
Petting zoo choices are: Mini Horse (for petting ), Donkey, Mini Cow, Goat, Sheep, Pig, Duck, Chicken, Rabbit, Fluffy White Dog, Snake, Gecko, Turtle or Bearded Dragon.
If you are booking a holiday: Easter, July 4th or Christmas Eve, the first hour has a 1.5x surcharge as we pay our employees extra for being willing to work a holiday. This will automatically be calculated on the booking form when your total is tallied.

The small Petting Zoo is our most popular option. 5 species are included, but you’ll probably see more than 5 animals. The best part is that you get to pick which animals we bring! You can let the birthday boy/girl pick her favorite animals, and we bring them to you! If you want more than 5 animals, take a look at the Medium and Large Petting Zoo options. We have Mini Horses, Mini Donkey, Mini Cow, Mini Pig, Goats, Sheep, Rabbits, Chickens, Ducks, Turtles, Snake, Geckos and an adorable (huge) fluffy white dog who LOVES children. If you are on a tight budget put still want to cuddle some critters, the MINI petting zoo is a great option. The Mini Petting Zoo includes 3 animals from our smaller critter selection. The Mini Petting Zoo is perfect for smaller children, indoor events, or winter birthday parties.
If you are booking a holiday: Easter, July 4th or Christmas Eve, the first hour has a 1.5x surcharge as we pay our employees extra for being willing to work a holiday. This will automatically be calculated on the booking form when your total is tallied.
