Mobile Petting Zoo FAQ

What animals do you bring?

It depends on availability and your event. Typical mixes include goats, sheep, bunnies, chickens, and sometimes an alpaca or mini-donkey. Tell us what you’re hoping for!

How much space do I need?

A flat area ~15×15 ft for our mini pen, or ~20×20 ft for the full setup. Grass or clean pavement is great. We’ll bring mats if needed.

Are you insured?

Yes. We maintain appropriate insurance and permits as required for events in Los Angeles and surrounding cities.

Do you travel to my city?

Yes! We’re based in Los Angeles and travel to most surrounding cities. See our service areas below.

What about weather?

Animals’ safety comes first. If severe weather is expected, we’ll work with you to reschedule or adjust with shade/rain cover.

More Frequently Asked Questions ⬇️
What is considered an event?

An event is a larger function such as one for a school, church, or country club. Anything beyond a smaller private birthday party is considered an event.

How do I book an event?

All events must be booked individually with Jessie, Nita, or a staff member. Please call us directly to confirm availability.

What if I need to cancel?

A 30-day written notice is required, and you should receive a confirmation from us.

Cancellation Policy: Once deposit/contract is in, you’re responsible for the full amount of charges for your event.

Do I need a party permit?

Some parties in public places (parks, country clubs, etc.) may require a permit. No permit is required for a customer’s home. We can’t obtain permits for clients, and lack of a permit may forfeit refunds.

What happens if it rains?

We perform parties rain or shine. Pony rides can be substituted with a petting zoo if needed. In severe weather (hail, lightning), we will reschedule or refund your deposit.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on location, travel distance, and if you want additional animals beyond our regular package. Please call us for an exact quote.

Can ponies be dressed up?

Yes! Most of the time we can dress ponies to match your theme. Call us at +1 (818) 355-7599. A small fee applies, and all costumes are custom-made.

What animals are included?

Our petting zoo usually includes rabbits, mini goats, mini sheep, and a mini donkey. Substitutions may be made depending on availability.

Can dogs be around?

No. Dogs must be kept inside or away for safety. Dogs unfamiliar with ponies and farm animals may bite or chase, creating hazards.

What’s the weight limit?

Mini ponies: 75 lbs. Larger ponies (if requested): ~100 lbs.

How many ponies do I need?

1 pony for up to 20 kids, 2 ponies for up to 40, and so on. Often fewer are needed since not all kids ride.

How are pony rides done?

All rides are hand-led by experienced staff (no sweeps). No open-toed shoes near ponies.

Pool parties allowed?

Yes, but children must be completely dry before riding. Wet bathing suits are not allowed on saddles.

Will animals eat my plants?

Yes, animals will eat nearby vegetation. Setup should be on a safe, flat, grassy area away from landscaping. We are not responsible for property damage.

What if animals go to the bathroom?

Our staff will pick up manure and dispose of it properly.

Yard treated with pesticides?

No. Animals cannot be on areas treated with fertilizer/insecticides within 7 days due to poisoning risks.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes. Your party is not booked until the deposit is received. Deposits refundable only if heavy rain prevents service and notice is given 4 hours before service time.

When is the balance due?

The balance is due the day of the party in cash only.

Can I book online?

Yes, but you must first confirm availability with Jessie or Nita at +1 (818) 355-7599. Then you may fill out our online reservation contract.
