Parents ask this more than any other question. The short answer: 2 to 10 is the sweet spot, and there is a good option on either side of it.

Toddlers (2-4)

Short led rides with a parent walking alongside. Most toddlers spend more time petting than riding, which is why the smaller animals are worth adding.

Grade school (5-10)

The ideal riders. They can take turns, follow handler instructions and enjoy brushing and braiding between rides.

Older kids and adults

Rides are limited to 65 pounds, so older guests move to pampering, walking a pony and the petting zoo. Our adult and company events run entirely on those activities.
