The Pony Barn is located off zoo grounds.

It is located behind the carousel close to the Forest Ave entrance.

This attraction allows you to ride ponies around a track!

​

PONY RIDER RULES

Must be over 2 years old

Infants are not pony friendly and are more likely to be scared of or scare the pony.

​

Must be shorter than 50"

Too tall of a child can throw off the balance of the pony and the walker may lose control of the pony more easily.

​

Must weigh less than 90 lbs

Overloading a pony can affect their stress, ability to walk normally, heart rate, etc. 

​

​

Tickets can be purchased at the zoo ticket booth.
