I am only rating it a 1 because there is no zero. We booked them from 12p to 2p to celebrate my daughter's 1st birthday. They did not show up on time and kept saying they were on their way. I never got a status from them unless u called or inquired. If you are late or having issues, you would expect a business to be the ones calling to provide status. After 3 hours later, I finally told them to cancel because the party was getting ready to end. This is not acceptable what so ever. I am still waiting for the deposit to be refunded. We used this vendor before and they were also late but only a few mins later. Never expected this. But I should have known there would be issues because the lack of response when booking seemed odd compared to the prior year. I would not recommend them at all. Sad to say well need to find a more reliable vendor.

10/10 best idea for my daughters birthday party . Literally made her extremely happy - the animals were all very calm , very clean & healthy . I LOVED this and will probably do it next year as well . Tiffany showed up as expected , called me when on her way & was easy to work with . She offered teaching about the animals and answered all questions. The pony ride was a huge hit and my daughter did not want to get off . Loved it!

UPDATE: Tiffany, in response to your most recent comment. You must have needed to change numbers as this seems to be a frequent issue with your business. Based solely off your yelp reviews you FREQUENTLY cancel last minute on your reservations and then refuse to give people their money back. It is very sad to see how many other people you have stolen money from just as you've done to me. There was NO ISSUE with communication, you responded to my text messages stating that you would return my money but now seem to be saying the opposite. You business is clearly very poorly run which also concerns me about the poor animals that are in your care. We have given you ample time to return my deposit. You have also declined my Zelle request for my deposit. You have made it very clear that you have no plan to return my deposit. Due to ALL of these reasons we have moved forward with a small claims case. I truly hope that anyone who is planning their next event sees these reviews and saves themselves the trouble of having to go through this and also prevent their party from being ruined like ours did. You are not REPUTABLE NOR RELIABLE.

My friends and family absolutely loved the experience that Tiffany and Itty Bitty Mobile Petting zoo provided for our sons special day. I cant thank her and her brother Dustin enough! Its so special what they do for everyone! Even the adults were in love with the animals! So heres some info that might be useful if your deciding to book... It was my first time booking a petting zoo, I found them through a google and yelp search, along with a few other options. My deciding factor was Tiffanys instagram page. The other two options didnt have an instagram and no visibility. Being able to see Tiffany and how she cares for the animals and the professional events that she has been a part of made me comfortable and confident in booking with them. The pricing was reasonable and fair. It wasnt the cheapest and it wasnt the most expensive, but I also wasnt looking for a deal, I was looking for an experience! Itty Bitty delivered beyond what I was expecting. Tiffany is easy to communicate with through text, which I love because its easier for me, being a full time working mom, text is sometimes my only option. You must have patience! Because I am so busy and understand how busy other people can be, immediate responses are not needed and sometimes our text replies were hours or a day or so apart. If you need immediate communication, this might be a sore spot for you if you cant understand that taking care of her animals are the priority. On the day of the event, Tiffany let me know her brother was on the way and when he arrived he was quick to set up and interact with the kids and give us the back story on all the animals. We had Teddy the sheep, one eyed willis the goat, and ducks, chickens, roosters, bunnies and 2 other goats. I didnt get all the names because I was busy chasing toddlers around, but would have loved to have spent more time with our furry friends. I also added on to the package pony rides and Marshmallow was our pony for the event. Marshmallow was the sweetest. Very gentle around my son who loves animals but sometimes is frightened by the larger animals up close. When my son approached Marshmallow, Marshmallow was still and calm, almost like she was reading his energy and knew to be gentle for him. Every parent at the party was asking me for the info and every parent and child raved about them being there. They kept the the are clean, consistently picking up after all of the animals. Itty Bitty is absolutely the best!

We went to a 1st birthday party in Anaheim where they had a petting zoo set up through Itty Bitty Mobile Petting Zoo. We had a great time and spent the entire time in the petting zoo with the animals and talking to Clay the handler. Clay was knowledgeable, answered all our questions about the animals, and showed everyone how to hold all the animals properly, including an 8-week-old Kunekune piglet appropriately named "Ms. Piggy". Ms. Piggy fell asleep in my wife's arms for a half hour and we were in love. All the animals were healthy and after interacting with Clay for a few minutes I could tell two things. The care and safety of his animals come first, and these are not just a commodity. Clay cares for them like they are beloved family pets and would never put them in danger to make money. We had an amazing time and hope to see Itty Bitty at another party soon.

I had to come on here and write review for Itty bitty petting zoo because they are absolutely amazing ! I scheduled them for my daughters first birthday and they were a hit ! The children enjoyed the animals so much! I personally was in love with the baby pigs! I will definitely be contacting them again for my daughters 2nd birthday! We were so impressed and greatful!

Omg. If I could give Tiffany and her petting zoo 10 stars I would in a heartbeat. For reference, I got the small petting zoo which included two goats, a sheep, a piggy, some chickens and ducks and a few bunnies. It was seriously the perfect arrangement and amount of animals for a small party of kids and adults. From the beginning she made the whole process so easy, she was responsive and informative about exactly what I was getting with my reservation. She showed up early for set up and the animals . I've never seen a friendlier bunch of animals. I really can't tell you who had more fun, the kids or the adults. Enjoyed by everyone ten fold and will be keeping her number for parties in the future. Tiffany, thank you for the best surprise birthday for my boy!

We had them for my nice's 2nd bday party. Total success with both kids and adults. Animals were happy and seemed well cared for. Not the usual " petting zoo stink" . Would definitely recommend. Only thing is you do have to be forward in your effort with ur communication because sometime she lacks in that department. But worth it!!!

Best decision ever to hire Tiffany and her Petting Zoo for my sons 1st birthday party. From the start, Tiffany was so accommodating and provided excellent service. She's great at communicating exactly what you will get for the price you pay. She sends updates through text as well prior to the party to let you know what animals she'll be bringing. All of her animals are so well behaved and great for kids of all ages. She even brings vegetables and feed so the kids can feed the animals. They do a great job of cleaning up as well. You'll never even know animals were there. I would highly recommend hiring her for your parties.

This was our first time renting a mobile petting zoo. It was worth every penny! The kids had a blast and Tiffany was the sweetest and super professional. We're so happy with how everything turned out.

We decided to have Itty Bitty for my daughters 2nd birthday & everyone absolutely loved the petting zoo! All the animals are so friendly & we love how we got their background stories since most of them are rescues! I already have so many of the guests hoping to book them for their events as well! Definitely recommended to anyone!

I had hired this company for my clients daughters 5th birthday. The birthday girl asked for bunnies, so I hired itty bitty petting zoo. I left them a $300 deposit and they were a no-show day of party. Instead of them, reaching out to me that day I had to continuously try to call and text and DM them on Instagram. When I finally got a message from them that day they said oh we we're trying to find your number. Then I asked if they were going to still come and I didn't get a response until hours later saying that supposedly they were blocked in their driveway. if that was the case, they should've let me know that morning, and I could've found another company that would've shown up. Then they text me that they the deposit back in 10 days. I paid the deposit through Zelle. Zelle takes minutes to go through so I don't know why they had to wait 10 days but we are now way past the 10 days since this event was March 16, 2024. I have messaged them they read the messages, but I still have no response. I now have to pay out of my own pocket the deposit to give to my client. I feel taken advantage of, and I really hope this does not happen to anybody else.

This company is a scam. Do NOT be fooled. Do NOT give this woman your money. I booked my daughter's birthday party with this company and Tiffany requested a 50% deposit which is reasonable. What is NOT reasonable is confirming details, payment, etc, over the phone and discussing an arrival time of 30 minutes before for setup and then on the morning of the party POOF! NOTHING! Absolutely no contact what so ever. She did not show up. I called multiple times and was sent straight to voicemail. I text the number that she had been messaging me from no response. Called another known affiliated number and no answer. Multiple calls later, 22 to be exact...nothing. My daughter's party came and went with no sign of Tiffany or this so called ITTY BITTY PETTING ZOO... such a disappointment, she should be ashamed of how she operates like this. Again reader beware! This is a scam. She will NOT show. And you will lose your money. If you're looking for a reliable petting zoo look somewhere else because you WONT find that here read more

Horrible experience!! Not only were they 40 mins late, they forgot the turtle at home, they left the bunnies in the truck, they left the cow and the donkey in the trailer for the next party while my party was going on, and at the end they left poop all over. Even large animal manure in the end of my driveway. The animals were not well taken care of at all. There was a 4 week old piglet that should not have been taken away from its mom. Don't recommend them at all. read more

Beyond happy with Tiffany at Itty Bitty Mobile Petting Zoo!!! We used her for my son's 3rd birthday party last Saturday. We did pony rides and a petting zoo for 2 hours. It was a huge hit at our party for ALL AGES!! The kids were so excited to pet and hold the animals, they were so gentle and let the kids love all over them. My oldest son has autism and I wasn't sure if he was going to hesitate with the animals or go right in. Her animals were so sweet he had no problem. He even took a ride on the pony which I couldn't believe. Tiffany let us feed the animals some "treats" from our garden, the kids loved feeding them tomatoes, strawberries and some apples. Even my dad was feeding the pony the fruit from his plate If you are ever looking for a petting zoo for ANY event small or large this is the way to go!!! read more

The petting zoo was ok. Tiffany said she would bring ducks and pigs but didn't show up with them. It was disappointing since the cheapest package for the petting zoo is $500 including a $50 traveling fee and a required minimum of 2 hours ($225 an hour) the guy actually bringing the animals super nice. Pricing needs to be adjusted especially since business seems to.not come through with their end on the animals included in pricing. read more

Just took my three kids to this place at Gless Ranch, and it was awful. The kids (all under 6) were so upset by hearing tiny piglets screaming as they were manhandled by way too many kids in a tiny little cage. The mother pig was visibly upset by the whole thing as well. There were rabbits being chased around the tiny pen, as well as guinea pigs scurrying around to avoid being stepped on in the tiny cage, overcrowded with kids. There was a tortoise who never came out from the refuge of his shell, a luxury the rest of the poor animals lacked. Do not take your kids here unless you want to spend a good chunk of time having hard conversations with your kids afterwards. read more

Visited the petting zoo this morning while they were at Gless Ranch and we had a great time! The piglets were too cute! Our 3 children (toddler and 2 teens) loved all the sweet animals. There was quite a turnout this morning so it was a little crowded, however, that didn't take away from our experience at all. The animals are obviously well taken care of and none of them seemed distressed or uncomfortable at all. read more

We hired Tiffany to bring her sweet mini pony, Rarity, to our grandson's 2nd birthday party because he loves horses and it was the best decision we made for him that day. He did not want to get off! Tiffany is a total sweetheart. She let the birthday boy ride around as much as he wanted as well as the few other kids in attendance. We really loved having them and this is one memory that will last for a very long time. Thank you Tiffany and Rarity for making Luke's party so special! I highly recommend them! read more

Such a great experience for kids to see other types of animals and get the chance to hold and feed them.

This was the perfect rental idea for my nephew's bday party! Tiffany was so friendly and helpful to accommodate us all day. You can tell she loves all her animals very much. The pony rides and zoo were a winning combo to keep all the kids at bay. The price is right and everyone had a blast petting the animals and feeding them treats. Tiffany has cute baby goats, rabbits, chickens, a little pig (named Mr. Pig), ducks, a pony, and a guinea pig. She even has a gorgeous white horse available for the adults to play on. I will def be booking her again and referring her to my friends. Good job, Itty Bitty Zoo! You were the highlight of the party read more

This is a review soley based on a price quote given. As you can see from my attached photo i asked if the area of victorville was served. And if they are in victorville its about 51 miles. I was told theres a $65 travel fee. Okay. Next whats your quote for 2 ponies 1 hour and i got the reply of 2 hour min. At $225 per hour. Over priced. And my party will only have 12 kids so 2 hours of ponies is way to much. I suggest the owner includes her 2 hour min. Policy on her yelp page. ** Update** after owner replied its not that i wrote this review because i wanted it cheaper. I am unsatisfied that your unwilling to only come for one hour. Not the pricing. But the 2 hour min. I only have 12 kids coming. No need for 2 ponies for 2 hours! Just a FYI i was a live animal entertainer too a couple of years ago with a company in Torrance and we never forced a customer with a 2 hour min. And we had living breathing animals who were well cared for and cleaned up before every event. And then hauled to events. I understand the process. read more

I am so disappointed in this company. After looking and contacting different petting zoos I decided to go with this one despite it being the most expensive because I read really good reviews. I was so excited to celebrate my sons first birthday and have this surprise for him because he loves animals! I rented a shade for the animals, and I rented hay bales amongst all the other things to make my party complete. Tiffany, the owner, was supposed to arrive at 5pm and at 1pm she cancelled on me! I understand emergencies happen but I feel back up plans should always be put as priority. This completely ruined what was supposed to be one a happy day for my family and me. I don't recommend this company because they are unreliable. read more

I normally never leave reviews except this was such a horrible experience, that I need to forewarn others. If I could score them a zero, I would. My son had his birthday party today and we confirmed over 3 months ago that we would have the Itty Bitty Mobile Zoo present. We even checked in periodically to make sure everything was still set to go. They were supposed to set up at 1030 am since our guests were coming at 11 am, so our party was specifically set around their arrival. Instead, we get a TEXT at 10:01 am (29 minutes before set up) to tell us they were canceling on us because one their employees decided to cancel on them. We get on the phone with her, obviously upset, and instead of trying to find a fix, we get excuse after excuse of how sorry she feels, but yet admits she had 2 other appointments in orange county, hence no one would be able to come out to us. Im wondering if these orange county appointments were somehow made ahead of the 3 months that we had made our appointment for. The only thing we were offered was a return on our deposit (which we really could care less about at that moment) and a call IF she could find someone to come out. FYI: We never got a call back. Please be aware of how unprofessional this company is and how it really ruined the plans we had for our sons birthday. Everyone, try another company. read more

I received several excuses from this owner after I had booked her way in advanced for my son's 2nd birthday... the day of the party (August 28) her petting zoo and pony did not happen. I had even asked for confirmation during the week to make sure we were still on for Saturday and she said yes. First excuse: " Hi Jasmine I didn't realize it was going to be over 100° today. I'm really concerned about the animals being transported in the horse trailer in the heat" Second excuse: "I don't think today is going to work ....it's not looking good.....I already have a call into the vet...I have an alpaca down. Third excuse: "And I lost a Hen :(". Forth excuse: "And my boyfriend just found out he tested positive for Covid AGAIN This day is not working with me " A parents worst nightmare! I was able to get my deposit back after this last excuse. I was blessed to find another petting zoo (The Party Pets Mobile Pony Rides and Petting Zoo) was able to squeeze me in and make me her 5th party. She made it possible for my son and guests. read more

This is by far the best choice we could have gotten for our daughter's birthday. Not only were all the children super excited to be in the little petting zoo enclosure feeding animals but also even adults were attracted to check it out. We originally booked petting zoo and pony rides for a set time but once the party was up and going, we saw how much everyone was enjoying it that I asked if we could add another hour to the session (they gladly agreed and stayed). As an added bonus, i had mentioned that my daughter's theme was unicorns and they added some cute bows and glitter to the pony who then looked even cuter. Unfortunately I forgot the guy's name who showed up with the zoo, but he was extremely kind and patient with all the kids and super professional in general. It was awesome to see animals that were well taken care of along with owners who were super cool people and not creeps that you have to have around your kids. I recommend this place 100% and have already been asked by some of the party guests for the zoo info for their own party. This is the best investment you'll make for your party I promise! read more

We called up Tiff about 3 or 4 days in advance for an adult pool party. I was looking for bunnies and a goat for Easter and she had just that. She arrive 15 minutes early and took care of all the set up by herself. This was a surprise for my guests and they all loved it, especially the girls! We basically had a photo shoot for 2 hours. The animals were all in great condition and were well fed. I highly recommend Itty Bitty Mobile Petting Zoo for you kid or adult party. read more

What a great time, the stars of the party for sure. There are no words in the English language that conveys my pleasure with this petting zoo. They will be at my party too, all the adults loved them just as much as the children. Thank you guys so much, I'd give 100 stars if I could! read more

Luckily this was a free event to enter but games and rides was $1 per ticket. And you had to park across the street at the plaza. It was busy so parking was scarce!

It was on the back of the card scan the QR code and it was that simple. They had animals you could feed. Which cacey my daughter was scared but she did it and overcame her fear. The only reason I came was to see my daughter and make sure she knew her dad came like I said I would. The place was packed so I'll highly recommend to come early and save up for this one because if you coming with a family of 3 or 4 the tickets will run out fast. But I do recommend this.

Buying a medium sized container of feed was more than enough, IMHO. Visitors are required to feed only the goats & sheep from the other side of the enclosure. Without feed, visitors can enter the closure & pet/brush the animals. Besides the goats & sheep, there are 2 pigs, chickens, and in a separate enclosure, emus & a cow. No access allowed to those, however. Pony rides are an option for little kids. The ride is around an oval track. There is also a playground area to burn up some energy. A few handwashing stations on premises to stay hygienic during your visit. Barnyard Buddies is an accessible nearby barnyard experience. I was lucky enough to grow up around chickens, so I'm not new to livestock. It's my firm belief kids should be around animals, and know where their food comes from, whether it be eggs, milk and/or meat. While not a place I'd recommend traveling large distances to visit, for those nearby or whom happen to be in the area, Barnyard Buddies is a wonderful opportunity to feed enthusiastically hungry goats & sheep, and brush plump piggies. Highly recommend!

Admission was only $6 per person, and children under 2 are free, which makes it an affordable outing for families. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They answered our questions and gave us information about the farm. The barn is on the smaller side, but there were still plenty of animals to see, including ponies, goats, chickens, and sheep. Outside, we also saw a turkey, horses, cows, and a pig. We visited around 11:30 a.m. on a Friday, and at one point we had the entire barn to ourselves, which made it especially enjoyable with our little one. Storytime for little ones is offered on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:30 a.m. After visiting the animals, we explored the produce market and were impressed by the variety. They had fresh fruits and vegetables, delicious pastries, breads, jams, and lots of other tasty snacks to browse. If it's your first visit, I'd recommend going during one of their scheduled activities so you can experience the tractor ride as well. There was plenty of parking, and I appreciated that they had a changing table available for babies and toddlers, which made the visit even more family-friendly. Overall, it was a relaxing, low-key outing that's perfect for families with young children. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back to experience more of what Tanaka Farms has to offer!

Even Thanos and Lex Luthor paused their infinity gauntlet and kryptonite weapons to pet our pets. Well-organized and super friendly (or super pet friendly too). Plenty of parking, so no need to find space for rhe Avenger's Quinjet or Winder Woman's Invisible Plane, although she would still need her magic lasso to make sure that dogs are on leash or else she'd have to corral them in. It wasn't an incredibly large event, but intimate. So no need to run around frantically like the Flash or zip, zig, and zag like Quicksilver.

I love recommending The Aquatic Zone to anyone. Swimming is such an incredible life skill and it's important we all know!

Good and bad. Full disclosure my family used our school's…read morecharter funds to sign up our (then) 5 yr old for first time swim lessons. My child had zero experience swimming or being in a pool. I thought this would be a great way to use our funds and teach him pool safety. Fast forward to today, my son has since turned 7 this year, and he still does not know how to swim or even put his head under the water. Granted, we were not going consistently. But for the past 3 months we have taken him weekly. Before that we did 2 other months I believe. I thought, let's just keep trying, maybe it's just that he's scared and he'll learn if we stick it out. My child struggles with sensory issues and has not been interested in getting his face wet. He also has a harder time being around other kids in very close proximity which, he definitely is here. He did the group lessons for 30 mins and they're basically shoulder to shoulder most of the time. So, the good: when he first started he really liked the two different teachers that worked w/him. The class was usually just him and one other child. The location is clean, and the staff seemed friendly. My son also mostly enjoyed the time and being in the pool, so it was good for getting more experience around other kids, teachers and being in a new environment. The negative: the teachers rotate so you never know who you're going to get. So one teacher might know where your kid is at, but then a new person comes in the next week and it's like starting all over. It seems hard to build a comfortable relationship with the teachers because of this as well. Also, my son never progressed much at all. He moved to the larger pool this year and it's been 3 kids to 1 teacher. recently, however, there were 4 kids in the class. I timed it on my phone out of curiosity- to see exactly how much 1:1 time he got during that class. 4 mins and 9 seconds. Total. The class moved like a conveyor belt just shuffling the kids around, I couldn't believe the kids were getting less than 5 mins each with the teacher. The time in between their turn, they're just holding on to the edge of the pool waiting. My son felt very cramped and two other kids were being kids and having fun but disrupting the class, so the teacher's attention was mainly spent on telling them to stop doing what they were doing. My son was frustrated and felt like he wasted his time. He also had safety concerns because the kids were practically on top of him at times and kicking and splashing in his personal space, so I don't blame him. He's already afraid as it is. Today we went back and there were 4 kids again. He just didn't want to do it again. The kids seem to be on a hamster wheel. The teachers, though friendly, simply don't have adequate time to actually teach the kids anything solid. It's like busy work. I also had a strange phone conversation with the owner recently. to be frank, she kept trying to rush me off the phone and I kept having to say "oh, wait sorry" (nicely) because i had more than one question but she seemed bothered with me. She also didn't explain about making up a certain day and how many days I had to reschedule when my kid got sick. You only get one make up class for the whole year which seems odd to me. We already missed two classes due to vacation (1 planned reschedule) and sickness (she apparently gave us 7 days from the date of the class to reschedule but didn't actually communicate that to me- I found out from the girls at the front desk AFTER the fact and the 7 days passed, which was frustrating because I would have brought him in. I guess I was supposed to assume what she meant when she asked "what does he have??" As in asking what illness he had. I said idk, a cold I think? But wasn't sure. So she "made a note" on her end but never specified that I had to come in within 7 days to make it up. Which really was just a courtesy reschedule because they don't even offer that. So, oh well. Honestly though, even beyond all this, I could see and feel the judgement when I mentioned today that my kid was more easily overwhelmed and we would maybe look into one on one classes for the future. I got the impression that there was very little understanding or empathy there for my child, and my family and I felt brushed off. Bottom line, just not for us. 4 kids is too many for one pool. 4 mins is not enough time to give each kid when you're paying for 30. Maybe one on one classes are different, or with smaller groups, but I had too many incidents where I brought up a concern and felt dismissed. In the future we'll be going elsewhere but I'm bummed we went for so long with really not much to show for it. At the very least my kid got a little more comfortable being in the water but for paying about $400-$500 total and like 4-5 months of weekly classes? I would not say this was worth that time or money unfortunately.

Stopped by Gless Ranch today for some fresh OJ and strawberries. Itty Bitty Petting Zoo happened to be there. Our daughter (8 years old) had a great time checking out and handling the animals. They even had tiny, baby pigs that would squeal for a few seconds when picked up. Our cat does the same thing some times. LOL. The owner said they will occasionally take them to events like this so they get used to being around large groups of people and being touched. Unfortunately there were a few unruly kids that were a little rough with the animals...just tossing rabbits and guinea pigs around. It looked like they handled it and kicked them out. read more
