What parents highlight
“Clean, well organized, on the smaller size which is great if you want to keep an eye on your kids and not be overwhelmed.”
“This place is AMAZING we’ve been coming here for 3 years since my toddlers were babies.”
“Park at the park next door and then walk over, the entrance is to the left of the cafe.”
What parents say
This place is AMAZING we’ve been coming here for 3 years since my toddlers were babies. First off thank you for considering military members, children under 3 free and for the beautiful renovations that have been made.
Great, calm and clean ranch. Attentive and friendly staff. We liked it and enjoyed it so much! $35 One adult, and one kid. You have the right to pet animals. Pony ride $8 (one lap) with Mr. Gerardo, a kind and nice person: was amazing! He guided my son beautifully.
Pros: Amazing access to the animals; you get to be right up close to them to feed (the basket of food to feed them is $6) and pet them, it’s awesome. Pony’s weren’t out that day. Roosters roam free on the walkways. Workers are super nice and attentive, hand washing station is great.
Worth it, they are expanding too. Adult $16, Kids $13. A very walkable and clean petting zoo with a kid sized replica western town. Instead of feeding the animals with pellets they have real veggies for you to hand out.
Bringing a toddler?
Reviews and the venue's own info mention a dedicated toddler area or toddler times at River Street Ranch — a separate space where little ones can play without dodging big kids.
