petting-zoo2

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.
