Has anyone ever had a petting zoo party at their house?

My neighbor was asking me. She wanted to do a petting zoo and pony rides for her twins' 4th b-day. She found one place but wanted to get some prices from other places.

I'd be afraid to because of the smell Chat Icon

We had a pony come for Addison's first birthday. We used Shetland Pony Party Farms. (631) 491-5867
All we used was the pony, but they have full petting zoos and other things you can rent also, like a moon bounce and kiddie rides.

Yes...I did this last year for Joey's 2nd birthday. It was AMAZING!!

The kids LOVED it.

We used Lollipop Pony Parties .

They were EXCELLENT!!

We had 2 ponies plus a HUGE petting zoo including:
ducks
rabbits
sheep
goats
even a flippin LLAMA!!!

They set everything up (little fenced in areas) and CLEAN UP EVERYTHING!

I am a pet-less neat freak, so I was nervous, but it was GREAT.

I had them set up on my front lawn...AWAY FROM OUR FOOD! Chat Icon

It worked out great cause the people that didn't want to be near the animals (namely my mother and grandmother) hung out in the backyard.

Everyone else was in the front.

It was the talk of the neighborhood for months. Chat Icon

I HIGHLY recommend it!

Does anyone mind telling me the prices for this? I am considering doing this for Luca's 2nd bday. If you're more comfortable, feel free to FM me.

I've been poking around on my own, not all sites share pricing, but it looks like it will be in the $250-350 range for an hour.

I just called my DH to see if he remembered and he didn't either. Chat Icon We THINK it was around $300.

We did exactly the same thing. It worked out great!

We used them this past July. I think it was $325 for 1 1/2 hours, (which was plenty of time).
