    Ponies & Petting Zoo are amazing! I found them through a Google search and I looked up their page on Facebook. I called them, they explained their packages and prices and I made my selection. I paid my deposit and they sent me a prompt confirmation. On the day of my son's party they arrived early to set up. They were professional, polite and patient with the children. The animals were clean and adorable. The ponies were clean and looked well taken care of. One of the ponies pooped in the middle of a walk and I didn't even have to ask them to clean up, they did it on their own. My sons and our guests had a great time! Not only do I recommend them, I'm planning to hire them again. Thanks for a awesome experience!

    I would not recommend this company for birthdays or any events where timing ( or communication) is important. The service itself (other than them being 40 minutes late and not letting us know) was good .. but showing up late for a 2 year old birthday party is not ideal to say the least. We also played the I’ll be there in 10 mins game for 40 min… so that was fun. When i called to give this feedback to the owner .. he said that they can’t do anything about the timing … so there you have it .. if you are looking for a company that can guarantee timing .. this is likely not the one.

    We had an amazing experience for my 3 year old's birthday party! Before booking I called 3 different places and this company offered the best value for 2 hours with pony rides and animals. Booking was easy and every detail explained by email. On the day of the event, it rained hard all morning and they asked if our afternoon event could be pushed back half an hour to accommodate earlier clients. Unfortunately we couldn't change the time and they were very gracious about it, they even showed up early. I can't describe the look in our 3 year old's eyes when the ponies showed up in our backyard. That alone was worth the price!! The pony handler was wonderful and patient with the kids including the ones who were scared. The ponies were very calm but he was always on the lookout to make sure no child was standing directly behind them. The petting farm was a huge hit with the littles. We had chickens, ducks, baby pigs, bunnies and a goat. All the animals looked healthy and behaved really well around small children, including the goat! The kids could interact with the animals inside the pen and feed them with little cups. Again, the couple of handlers were really nice and patient with the children. They do speak mostly Spanish but as long as someone in your party can help communicate it is not an issue. Go ahead and book, you will not be disappointed!

    IF YOU DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH, BE AWARE. They sent people to my home that only spoke Spanish after confirming with me that they were sending English speakers and were unwilling to rectify the situation. We had a nice time in the end, but I wouldn't hire this company again because of their lack of integrity and their unwillingness to make things right. A small gesture can go a long way. I wish they put customer satisfaction ahead of their bottom line. It is unfortunate that they don't. They accommodated my request to supply 2 ponies to entertain my 3 small children one day after I called (on a weekday). That was great! What I didn't care for was the dishonesty. The morning of the event, I contacted their representative Elixa to make sure the person who came to our home was an English speaker. One would think this would be a given since they knew I didn't speak Spanish, but I didn't want to leave this to chance. I didn't want the frustration of not being able to communicate well with someone who would be working directly with my children. Elixa said she wasn't sure and offered to call me back. When she returned my call, she confirmed that the person coming did speak English, and I expressed my joy. When the ponies arrived, the handler handed me a cell phone so that I could receive a message from someone else at the company. They wanted to tell me that payment was due before services were rendered. They were telling me this because the person at my home spoke no English! I was upset to say the least. I had a lengthy conversation with the person on the phone (Dickson) who advised me that Elixa did not communicate my wishes to him and he was sorry for the inconvenience. I believe he was being dishonest about not knowing because up until that point, I had spoken with Elixa several times, and she had never provided information without verifying it first and calling me back. I appreciated her making sure she was always providing accurate information, so when Dickson said no one told him, I had the strong feeling that my inconvenience did not matter more to him than making money did at the moment. It felt like a total bait and switch and he was not willing to send anyone else or offer any compensation when it was clear to me that they were not keeping their part of our agreement. After nearly 15 minutes of getting nowhere with Dickson, I relented and we proceeded with the pony ride. After such a frustrating start, things got going and the kids had a good time. The gentleman (Rolando) who came with his wife apologized for not speaking English, and I tried to explain that my issue was not with him but rather the company who did not keep their word. Obviously, most of the next hour was spent in silence but the handlers seemed to be very nice people and were kind and gentle with my children. If you do decide to give them a try, ask for Rolando. He and his wife made the experience as pleasant as it could be considering the circumstances. I also noticed that Rolando walked with my boys and his wife handled my daughter. Any parent with girls would appreciate their mindfulness of this, I'm sure. Rolando and his wife get an A+ in my book but the company- not so much.

    We recently contracted with this company for two ponies on Halloween. The customer service and booking process were great. On the day of the event the ponies arrived early and were ready to go. The handlers, Jose and Roxanna were great with the kids, and went above and beyond what we expected. If the two ponies we got are representative of the rest of the animals We couldn’t be happier. They were, well Groomed and looked to be well taken care of and healthy. I will use this company for any similar needs in the future. Flip and Kristen.

    We recently hired Ponies and Petting Zoo of Miami for my daughter's 2nd birthday; it was a great experience! The company arrived earlier to set up and asked where the animals could go. The folks who serviced the animals were very polite, respectful, and professional. Can't say enough good things about them. All the children got to go on the ponies and also had a fun time feeding the animals. Overall, it was a great experience. Can't recommend them enough!

    This company is great! The two ponies appeared healthy and well cared for. The handler was friendly and incredibly accommodating and patient, especially with some of the more unruly kids. He made sure all the kids had multiple rides and although we were the last appointment of the day, he made sure everyone had a good time.

  • 5/5 Julie D. 4 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend! After lots of research, decided to switch vendors and go with the one with great reviews, I'm so glad I did! We scheduled the petting Zoo from 3-5 and they were so prompt- arriving around 2:30 to set up. The animals were outstanding. Definitely a hit for both kids and adults!

    Ponies & Petting zoo had exceptional service. This Christmas we wanted to do something special for the kids at our church so we diced to go with the petting zoo idea. Searched and spoke to many places before this one. I am not sure why they were not at the top of the list. I called the number on the website left a message and got a text back within min. I picked the package that beat fit our needs and also had an opportunity to speak to someone on the phone for more details. They accepted payment online and were very good in communicating details and very patient as it was our first time and didn’t know what to expect. Days before the event we received emails with confirmation for our event putting any doubts at ease. On the day of our event they exceeded our expectations, we had 167 parents and kids feeding, petting and taking pics with the animals. Our kids loved the pony rides and the entire staff was very helpful and pleasant with the children. Thank you ponies and petting zoo.

    All the children at our birthday party had an amazing time with the pony rides and petting zoo. The gentleman who worked the event was very nice and great with the kids! The animals were gentle and healthy. Thank you for making our sons birthday party extra special.

    The children learned alot being around the animals. It's so important to respect living things and take care of them properly. Especially nowadays, have to train our children correctly. Animals are part of the world.

Our attendant Augustin was awesome with the kids. Animals were very well taken care of and healthy. We had an awesome time. Thank yOu!!!!

    I had high hopes for a good experience with this ponies and petting zoo Miami. I paid extra $$$ for a baby cow since my 2 year old loves cows. I thought it would be adorable for her to interact with a small cow . The cow they brought was huge and not a baby, and the first thing it did was ram my two year old in the face which resulted in bruising. The attendants didn’t seem surprised at all because they didn’t move a muscle when my daughter was thrown to the floor by their animal. I know they are animals at the end of the day, but this was not a small cow as promised and it was not friendly for a children’s petting zoo. Also my time frame was changed a day before my event by some lady who called on behalf of ponies and petting zoo. The attendant arrived and told me he was unaware of the time change . I sent them an email to make them aware of my bad experience and they haven’t bothered addressing my concerns which was really the cherry on top. So just beware of their unprofessional practices and their not so friendly large “baby” cow.

    Terrific everything!! We hired pony4party to do our daughter's birthday this last weekend and the entire process was outstanding! It's obvious that they take such good care of all their animals simply by seeing first hand how healthy the animals are and how careful the handler was with them and also how the animals behaved. They were so kind to work with, showed up on time, made sure the kids were happy and safe. I can't say enough good things about them. I look forward to working with them in the future. Thank you for a great petting zoo and pony experience!!

    I’D DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! I COULD NOT BE ANY HAPPIER!!! These are very serious people. From the moment I received the call to get my quote I immediately knew I was not going to be disappointed. I had such great communication with the person that contacted me for the quote as he explained everything about their service, it was so easy to pay for deposit and they were also very informed about the park’s policy (Broward County) I was also very pleased that they confirm two days prior the party as I had other services as well (not With Ponies and Petting Zoo) but never received a courtesy call. Ponies and Petting Zoo staff came early to have all set up on time, they guy leading the ponies was very helpful and friendly and so was the sweet lady at the petting zoo. THANK YOU very much “ Ponies and Petting Zoo of Miami” for making my daughter’s Birthday party a really Great, Fun and Beautiful experience. Great staff, great service; can’t wait to have you guys back on my next birthday party 🙏🏽. Keep up your good service!!!
