There's plenty to do -- pony rides, train rides, animals, play areas -- and everything is well organized and feels safe. What I really appreciated is that it's not overwhelming or chaotic like some bigger places. The staff were friendly, patient with the kids, and everything ran smoothly. It felt like a genuine, wholesome experience rather than a tourist trap. Perfect spot for a family day, especially with younger kids. We'll definitely be coming back!

Came up from San Jose (which was close to 2:45 of driving round trip with traffic on a one way road in and out of this place) with 4 kids (1, 6, 8 and 11), and stayed 1.5 hours. I don't think I would go back. GOLD PASS includes: ($30) Admission + Pony Rides: requires 1 adult for 1 kid. You will walk your kid in a small rectangle 3 times (takes about ~2 mins).

Honestly, never heard of this place until it popped up on Facebook. It had popped up as a place…read moreto go to for First Friday. No discounts for going but they do have some pop-up/ food truck type places here. This is on the outside in front of the entrance. Admission was a little expensive in my opinion. I think it was $29 and it was 5pm-8pm. It was a cool experience with the IlluminOdyssey and fun activities they had. It was raining off and on the First Friday of January. The kids weren't able to play in the playground because it was wet and it was kind of hard to see the animals because they were hiding. I think it would be best to go here when daylight savings time begins so it's bright outside still. I would definitely recommend going here at least once.

We had a small-ish group of kids ranging from 2 to 5 years old and hosted it at our home. We originally wanted to host it in our yard, but the weather gods decided to send gusty winds and cloudy skies our way that day, so we relocated it inside. Bunny Gurus, Ahmed and Yusuf, were awesome. They were able to set up quickly and let us know the most suitable, stress-free options for the bunnies. The kids had sooo much fun! I will say that there was a bit of mess after the event, so be prepared if you plan to host indoors. The space we had were along some couches and there was still wood chips and bunny poops. BUT honestly, it was totally worth it and nothing a vacuum and mop couldn't pick up. Booking was easy - just submitted an inquiry online to get prices and availability. The bunnies were great - though way bigger than I originally thought they'd be! Very sweet and soft and even though the party was for the kids, I felt calmer and happier to have held the therapy bunnies for a few minutes too! Definitely recommend!

We were especially impressed by how much attention Julian pays to safety. He separates the animals while our toddler was petting ducks.

We are so grateful they were part of our carnival and would absolutely recommend Friendly Pony Parties for school events, parties, and family gatherings. We would happily book them again in the future!

It is wise to step outside your environment and, in the case of this current venture, go visit an Alpaca farm. The Menagerie Hill ranch has beautiful animals. The host was awesome and knowledgeable. We increased our knowledge of the animals and of the farm but also got to feed them. We also had the opportunities to get close and personal with them for pictures. They were all friendly and fluffy. I recommend this unique experience for all because if you do not just break your usual pattern to stop and smell the roses or to pet and feed an Alpaca, life will pass by before you know it. Put your life on pause just for a few hours and go see the Alpacas. They would like to share peace with you. You can find them at the Menagerie Hill Ranch

We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch.

We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

He was absolutely fascinated by all the different insects on display. We spent quite a while inside the exhibit as he carefully looked at everything and even took time to read some of the books available. It's such a fun and educational experience for little ones. On our way there, we were excited to finally spot the red panda, which we didn't get to see during our previous visit. After that, we wandered around the zoo and visited some of our favorite animals, including the zebras, giraffes, ostriches, and lemurs. Every visit to the San Francisco Zoo offers something different, and it's always a wonderful place for families to explore, learn, and make new memories. We'll definitely be back again!

I hope the zoo appreciates her hard work and love for the animals.
