Traditional Petting Zoos Choose a 10, 20 or 30 animal petting zoo. All zoos include chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, and a miniature horse or miniature donkey. Larger zoos include specialty animals such a mini cow and 2 llamas or alpacas. Children get to feed the animals. Hand sanitizer provided.
Add a camel to any event for something they definitely don’t see every day!
Common Questions
Is it age appropriate?
Our services are great for ANY age. Everyone from toddlers to teenagers (and grownups) love our interactive animals. Ponies come in a variety of sizes so that any age group can ride, and parents can walk along with their very small children during the ride.
How much space do I need?
That really depends on the services you choose. Small petting zoos require at least 15 x15 ft of fairly level grass or cement. Specialty animals will require additional space. Hand led ponies can be led around fields or parking lots.
What if it rains?
We have a very flexible cancellation policy. You can cancel or postpone your event at absolutely no penalty up until 24 hours prior to your start time. If you choose to proceed with your event, some services can be set up in garages or under awnings. We will provide small EZ Up tents for our animals as necessary.
Will you arrive early for setup?
We will arrive approximately 30-60 minutes prior to your start time to setup. We’ll need a place to park and access to the setup area. We will have everything we need with us to setup and can adjust to most areas and surfaces.
