The staff is wonderful; no one was rushed; all of the children spent as much time as they liked with all of the animals throughout the day. Such an easy, happy day for everyone. Thank you for an amazing party!

When he finally shows up he parks on the wrong side of the street where his truck is blocking the view of the ponies which I think lead to not much interest in the ponies as we have too many other things going on at once also. But Diego proceeded to ask if he could eat for which my husband said yes (hes nicer than me cause I would have said no) But I watched Diego walk his whole team into the party looking for food. And saw him walk out with half a dozen alcoholic beverages. Would not recommend this company again unless Diego sends his son which is what happened the first time and why we had such a great experience

Either way, everyone's a winner. The petting zoo is much larger than others in the area, giving the pets and the customers a lot of space to roam around. You can buy your tickets online, or with the QR code on site, or with cash at the booth located at the zoo entrance at the top of the hill past the upper parking lot. The farmers market provides amazingly fresh produce, fruits, veggies, baked goods, and a pre-made food selection. You can order a fresh sandwich, sides and soup. A delicious bonus. Somethings look out for include sparce parking at the top of the hill where the farmers market is, but plenty further down and towards the greenhouse. Also seating to eat is located in the back past checkout in the playground area that is also lacking a number of tables, but make meeting new people an experience when sharing seating. A fun adventure rolled into one location.

I was looking for a barn to board my horse that was a little bit closer to home. I came across Code…read moreBlue on Facebook and figured it was worth checking out. They had a cute barn, decent size areas to ride, close to the trails, a stall, small private turnout areas and private tack closets. I brought my horse there a few weeks later. Things started off just fine for a while, then the things the owner had said would be taken care of never were. The rings were never dragged, weeks would go by. I could see not dragging the outdoor but the covered ring would freeze over and you had no where to do anything with your horse. The owner had stuck a round pen in the middle of the outdoor arena which turned it into a racetrack. I mean why was i paying board at a place with 2 arenas if neither have footing that is rideable? The workers were nice but knew nothing about horses. I would come out and find my horse in his turn out with his halter on and found him caught on the tree branches that hung into the pasture. Not to mention the hay nets that they had out in their turnouts, which is great to not waste hay, but not so great when they wouldn't throw the hay out that was left after it had rained. I would find moldy hay in horses hay net almost weekly or multiple times a week (depending upon the weather). The final straw for my was then the owner had these hay boxes made for the stalls. My horse is long and tall standing at 17.2, so adding something extra that extending off the stall wall doesn't work well. I understood the owners reasoning but I would have appreciated being asked if I wanted in my horses stall, that I pay for. I mean that would be like a landlord sticking something in your apartment without your say so. Anywho, these hay boxes were low, which a hay net hanging from them to the ground (they were may be 3ft off the ground). The edges of these custom boxes were not sanded . I had expressed my dislike of these boxes but my concerns were ignored. Needless to say, I got a text from the owner one day, while I was at work saying my horse ripped his face open while in his stall (she had no idea what it could have been). I rushed down there on my break, thankfully my vet said he didn't need the flap of skin hanging off his face didn't need stitches. My horses stall had blood smeared all over the walls, after a walk through I found a chunk of hair, skin and blood on the edge of the hay box. I was curious. The owner of the barn did not even apologize for what happened to my horse. Needless to say I came back later with a drill and took down the hay box. In short no I do not recommend this place. There are way more horses on the property than legally allowed to have according to the town of Islip. The only redeeming quality of this disgusting barn are the people and the horses who board there.
