    Mobile petting zoo with chickens
    Anu R.

    Can't recommend Debbie enough! We hired her services for my daughter's 4th birthday party and it was a big HIT with her and her friends! Debbie was extremely professional, super responsive and very very courteous. We even made a time change in the very end due to weather and she was so flexible. Debbie brought chickens, bunnies and goats, and she was so good with the kids! She was punctual, set everything up quickly and seamlessly, and left the place in pecking order after. Worth every penny!

    This is a long overdue review. I booked Debbie and her animals for my kids' 3 & 4 year old birthday party last July. I was really nervous because I had read reviews for other places not being responsive or show up, and I did the whole party theme around having animals there. I called Debbie, because she had nothing but good reviews...and after booking her, I knew why. She's definitely responsive, her process was easy and she was really easy to work with, she answered ALL of my questions (and I had a lot). She showed up on time, the animals were amazing: clean, sweet, happy--definitely well cared for. She was good with the kids, good with the animals (and good with the kids and the animals together). All around a great experience!

    We used Little Reds for our daughters 2nd birthday and it was so much fun for both the kids and adults... not to mention the adorable pictures everyone got! Debbie & her daughter arrived right on time and set up a "pin" in our backyard, including a Red Barn prop in the background. They also brought treats for the kids to give the animals and a bucket of brushes for the kids to use. She brought a miniature horse, a small donkey, 2 chickens, a goat and a rabbit. Our daughter was so excited to have these animals in her own backyard!! (I felt bad she thought the animals were her gift!) All the kids had such a great time and even the shy ones were so excited to get into the pin and spend time with all the animals... her prices were so reasonable. I rented a bounce house as well... and it remained empty until the animals left =)

    I am so happy with Little Red barnyard! I inquired if they were available for my son's birthday, I spoke Debbie and initially there was no available booking for that day as they are already full. Debbie told me that she will let me know if there will be a cancelation. I received an email from Debbie thaf there was a cancelation and we booked the day and time. Debbie confirmed the booking with me and again did a check up call the day of the party if there will be a change. I really appreciated that they followed up on me as I was really busy that day. They came on time, set up and the kids had a blast with the petting zoo and the pony ride. Debbie and her staff were really nice and they stayed with the kids and made sure they are safe. Thank you Little Red Barnyard for making my son's birthday party a success!

    I can not say enough good things about Debbie and her daughter! They were so wonderful, you can tell how much Debbie loves her animals too. They are all so sweet, gentle and well loved. We had a mini petting zoo and pony rides for my daughters 5th birthday and it was such a hit! Debbie and her daughter are great with kids of all ages and made everyone comfortable around the animals. The pony came as a unicorn and made a lot of little girls wishes come true!! They set-up and cleaned up quickly and it was like they were never even there! It was the best birthday party I have had! Thank you Debbie for your wonderful animals and the great service you provide!

    Debbie and her daughter did a fab job at our party today!! The kids are so happy they couldn't stop talking about it! From the beginning Debbie was very easy to communicate with. Even though it rained during our party she still brought the horse, just in case the weather cleared...and it did! We were going to have the party at a park, but due to the rain we had to have it in our home! Debbie was able to set up the petting zoo in front of our garage with a canopy. She brought a donkey, chickens, rabbits, and a horse! It was perfect. She also did a great job cleaning up there's no sign of the animals whatsoever!! Thank you Debbie for making my two daughters birthdays forever memorable! I highly recommend this, if you want something that will keep all kids entertained, we had 36 kids at our party ranged from 1-6 and they were all so happy!

While I arrived on time for my reservation, they weren't too strict about timing. Make sure to download your tickets beforehand, as cell service was practically nonexistent. There was a grill station and several snack stands in the main area, along with a restaurant overlooking the city on the California Trail. Most options were standard American fare with nearly $20 price tags. The tropical rainforest primates were my favorite, as they had the most interactive layout. They swung across ropes and lounged in their hammocks. The reptile room was easy to miss but ended up being one of my favorite sections, as the creatures were surprisingly plump and active. Unfortunately, the animals along the California Trail were more elusive and the exhibits were spaced farther apart. The gray wolves were barely visible, while the larger cats were kept at a noticeable distance from visitors. Some pathways led to dead ends and could have been labeled better. The gondola was required to reach the California Trail and became a bottleneck throughout the day, especially around lunch when the restaurant drew more visitors and again near closing. There were also separate lines for strollers and everyone else. It might be a highlight for those who have never ridden a gondola, but personally, it felt more like an unnecessary delay. For the nearly $30 price tag, I found the Oakland Zoo well maintained and interesting enough to visit. I finished everything in about 2.5 hours, although I would add another 30 minutes for the gondola wait alone. Definitely arrive at opening and tour the California Trail before lunch to avoid the biggest crowds.

The bathroom stalls feel like they have zero privacy. Hugeeee gaps let people walk by and see you, and they're so short that if you stand up in the stall you're seen from the chest up. One of them had no space to sit for my legs and I'm petite too. It's very odd and uncomfortable and embarassing to use the bathrooms here.

We had originally considered having a petting zoo, but after finding Bunny Gurus, we realized it was actually the better option for our party. Instead of a large setup with lots of different animals competing for attention, this gave the kids a more personal, hands-on experience with the bunnies. They were able to slow down, interact with them, and really enjoy the experience in a way that wouldn't have been possible with a traditional petting zoo. From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless. They responded quickly to my inquiry, answered all of my questions, and made everything incredibly easy. Their website clearly explained the different packages, and we chose the smaller package, which still included 10 adorable bunnies--more than enough for our party! The staff was absolutely wonderful with the children. They were patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the rabbits they care for. They shared fun facts about each bunny's personality and habits while encouraging the kids to gently interact with them, build trust, and bond with the animals. They made each child feel special by pointing out when a bunny seemed to like them, which really boosted the kids' confidence and made the experience even more meaningful. They brought everything needed for the setup, along with a huge variety of bunny-safe treats that kept the kids engaged throughout the event. The children loved getting to feed the rabbits, watch them do fun tricks with certain treats, and our birthday kids even got the opportunity to hold a bunny at the end! If you're looking for a unique, interactive, and memorable party experience, I can't recommend Bunny Gurus enough. It was such a special addition to our celebration, and both the kids and adults absolutely loved it!

Each winter season the Oakland Zoo transforms into a colorful vibrant experience and my toddler was enthralled with all of the lit up animals and flowers. Tips -Get tickets as early as you can - they sell out fast. Tickets become available 1 month prior to arrival date. - Arrive early for your time slot, parking lots fill up. -Dress warmly, it got cold especially after taking the gondola on the higher level. I put a puff coat and thick blanket on my baby. -Peruse the ground level first, then go to gondola. Line wasn't so bad at 7p. -Food was pretty good and they have a nice selection and variety in the top level. Tickets are pretty pricy but hey it's an annual thing and they do such a great job with all the displays. The future Oakland display was awesome!

It's held daily btwn the months of Nov - Jan, so plenty of time to get down here. As with other years, the lights and lanterns skew towards the animal kingdom and conservation. The Good: *They change it up every year. Carissa had come the previous year with her "family," and she assumed it would be the same thing but she was pleasantly surprised how different it was. *The ride up up the gondola at night is truly epic. And if you happen to get there for the sunset then it's even more so! *One of this year's features is called "The Future of Oakland, " and it's spectacular. You should definitely come just for this. *Even my grumpy, sulky teenager liked this place, so that's gotta count for something, n'est-ce pas? *Food stands (and their outrageous prices) are still operational even at night. *10% discount for members The Meh: *Tickets must be purchased ahead of time and with slotted time slots (you can get there AFTER your time, but not before) and they only go on sale 28 days ahead of time. *Ticket prices fluctuate by certain dates/days ($36-45/adult GA) *Probably won't see any actual animals, but we did see some napping tortoises, flamingos, and the shadow outline of a buffalo. *It's 100% outside, so dress accordingly. The Ugly: *Better put on your patience pants with some of these GD baybay kids and their gentle parenting nimrods following closely behind. Just breathe, ignore them, and watch where you're walking. *These parents with these giant-ass semi-truck sized strollers in very packed areas. Seriously, Meredith? You really need that Airstream to schlep around Chad and Rex? *Getting into the park was kind of a shit-show of SUV drivers trying to demonstrate the enormity of their male genetalia. Must be might impressive from what I gathered. *Tariffs** cost the event $100k more than anticipated, but you know that's OK because they'll just pass the savings onto you. But, don't worry, you start making that money back any day now--I promise! Conclusion: This place would be great if it wasn't for all the fucking people. https://www-ktvu-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.ktvu.com/news/tariffs-making-oakland-zoos-glowfari-tickets-more-expensive-year.amp?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17640286431571&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktvu.com%2Fnews%2Ftariffs-making-oakland-zoos-glowfari-tickets-more-expensive-year
