This delightful show features the lovable critters from the famous Great American Petting Zoo. Hosted by one of the "Zoo Crew," the show includes animal behavior and antics accompanied by fascinating facts and stories about each type of animal.
Inter-species animal racing lke you've never seen before! Goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and other surprise animals wear racing silks as they hoof and waddle their way around and sometimes over the track! GASCAR made headlines in several California newspapers at the 2007 Alameda Country Fair.
Our kids' area with agricultural and educational activities includes goat and cow milking, corn and bean play boxes, pony saddling craft station, and more all beneath eight colorful tents. Pedal tractor area optional.
Ours is a very different kind of petting zoo. There are absolutely no barriers once inside the enclosure. All of the animals run freely with the public, and the public loves it! Each and everyone of our friendly animals is hand-raised at our farm in Oregon.
The public judges a fair on the quality of its animals and carnival. Great American Pony Ride’s beautiful purebred Welsh ponies walk under a revolving tent top. Employing excellent staff to keep everything squeaky clean and safe has always been our policy.
