What an amazing day! The road the train, we went to the petting zoo and we checked out the horses and the ponies. All experiences were wonderful for my 2-year-old. He really enjoyed the entire day. If you are on the fence about going here, just go because you'll have some fun and if your birthday is coming up soon you can even run out the ponies for a birthday party.

This little train ride is always a fun place to take kids. The rides could be a little longer, it goes only once around the track. Take some Santi wipes, they do not wipe the train down after each ride.

Booked the $350, 2-hour private party in the west corral which is sectioned off, for my daughter’s 5th birthday. When the handler found out it was just my husband, me, and our two children, he went ahead and got some goodies so we could spend time feeding and brushing our pony Chewy. My kids loved the experience, they got to ride, feed, and brush the pony’s mane. It was a lot of fun. We also paid the extra $75 to get the unicorn Snowball to come out to our “party.” There was another party in the east corral that brought their own decorations for their sectioned off party area, they let you arrive 30 minutes before your reservation to decorate and allow you time after your reservation for removal. All in all this was a great experience for my kids and I can’t wait to do it again.

Griffith Park Pony Rides & Petting Zoo | Aug 20, 2018

Of course! A 2 year old child can ride either the Pony-Go-Round or the Slow Ponies, and if you want to join, you would both be able to ride the Wagon Ride together.

Are they open when it rains

Theadora Torres | Aug 20, 2018
Griffith Park Pony Rides & Petting Zoo | Aug 20, 2018

We close when our footing gets too wet and slippery. A light drizzle won't shut us down, but when we get muddy we have to close because the ponies could slip in the mud.

Where is the fairness in this? Wouldn't the ponies rather be in a sanctuary than be forced to carry children without consent

Katie Centeno | Aug 20, 2019
Chris Lloyd | Aug 20, 2019

As long as she can sit up right without any assistance I believe so. My daughter started riding at the age of 2yrs and at 9yrs old she still loves it.

Is there any horse rides for adults ? Or some thing i can do for the whole family together ? If you know the prices can you include that thanks ^_^

April Butler | Aug 20, 2019

The only ride we have for adults is our Wagon Ride, which is a covered wagon pulled by two mules. The Wagon Ride is fun for the whole family and tickets are $5 each, just like our Pony Rides. We are mostly geared towards families with young children, so if you are looking for trail riding for adults, you'll want to go down the road where there are several places that offer horses for trail rides.

I hope to have a mixed age group( 2 years to 82 years) participate in a wagon ride on Wednesday June 13. There would be 20-24 in our group. Can you tell me what you could offer for this group and the cost? Coleen
