Booked the $350, 2-hour private party in the west corral which is sectioned off, for my daughter’s 5th birthday. When the handler found out it was just my husband, me, and our two children, he went ahead and got some goodies so we could spend time feeding and brushing our pony Chewy. My kids loved the experience, they got to ride, feed, and brush the pony’s mane. It was a lot of fun. We also paid the extra $75 to get the unicorn Snowball to come out to our “party.” There was another party in the east corral that brought their own decorations for their sectioned off party area, they let you arrive 30 minutes before your reservation to decorate and allow you time after your reservation for removal. All in all this was a great experience for my kids and I can’t wait to do it again.

Great place to bring the kids to have a pony ride experience. I have been coming here since my 9 year old was a toddler, but today we got disappointed to find out there is 110 weight limit to ride the horse not a pony. My child was really sad he was not able to ride given the fact that a pony between 9 and 14 hands may weigh between 400 and 800 pounds following the 20%rule means a pony can carry a person that weighs between 80 -160 lbs. Facts

The kids were thrilled with the pony ride experience, though a little apprehensive at first. The staff was great, at putting them at ease, and making sure they were buckled properly. There are different experiences to choose from depending on your kids age/weight/height, and not too expensive.

Love how everything is organized with the ticket lines and the rides with pony/horses. Love the cheap prices for the kids activities like the pony merry go round, horse ride, petting zoo and train ride. Workers are nice thank you.

Such a great spot! So fun for a family day! I went with my friend and her to kiddos, and we had a picnic at some of the benches, then we went into the petting zoo, and got to do pony rides. Pretty reasonably priced too!

My daughter loved the train ride, her and her dad had a blast. The petting zoo is a great place to take kids for a weekend activity.

Great Place to spend the day with kids! $5 pony rides and train rides. Concession stands with food and treats and little toys.

Fun for about 2 to 3 hours. Parking is free. Only issue I had was the lines for the Pony rides were too long. Over an hour wait for 5 minutes at most ride. Maybe they should have scheduled rides or reservations or something. What is more frustrating is we werent informed of the wait until I was already an hour in line and over heard them mentioning to others.Train was fun, simulator was cute and petting zoo was also nice.Sent a totally of $19 to do everything once. Not bad in pricing.

Took my son for the first time. He is 2yrs old and absolutely loved it... the staff was super nice. All the animals where well behave.. just enough animals to keep my son smiling and interested.Affordable and no long lines.

My kid had a blast for a train ride, mini zoo and pony ride! There is so much space for family picnic nearby and a definitely great place to hang out! Its a great experience and highly recommended

This place is a great place to let your child experience riding a horse. The staff seems to be very nice and they also care for the horses.

Despite the fact my kid like the pony ride here, I can’t recommend to visit that place. You can spent like 3+ hours in lines because some parents purchasing 3-5 tickets at once and one kid can occupy 1 horse for 30 mins or so. I saw some girl who made 6 rides at once and her dad didn’t look like feeling uncomfortable. It would be much better if the owner of this place make a rule “one kid - one ride” . Want to make more rides - go to the end of the line. The lines could be MUCH less with this rule.

This was a great time! However, the line situation couldve been better. There is a separate line just to buy the ticket, then you have to wait in a separate line depending on the type of ride (slow/medium/etc). It also didnt help that I went during peak sun, and the line has only the smallest amount of shade from a tree until you get to the front of the line. Theres also no way to know how long the line will take, and keeping the kids entertained while waiting is tricky unless you have multiple adults there to take turns.But the pony ride itself is amazing and the kids seem to really enjoy it! The train ride is also great! And the snacks and toys sold at the park round out the experience.

This is my favorite place....Its so nice for exercise, to relax, to have some distraction...

Great place for kids, Weekends are really crowded expect a really long wait time on pony rides

Nice place for families with small children, but needs some updating and cleaning.

This place is awesome for the kids. My daughter loves coming here to ride ponies. The staff are really nice and clean the surfaces after each child is done. They also have a petting zoo. Prices are reasonable. Make sure to take snacks, water and sun block on sunny days. We will continue to come here and cant wait for the mini train rides to open next door. Take the kids for sure.

Ive been coming here since I was 10 years old. Have brought my 4 girls. Its been a while since I came here. I was so disappointed. To get on medium and large horses its an 1 to 2 hour wait. What the heck. Thats ridiculous. I get it the pandemic hit, but they should do something about that. No social distancing either. Unfortunately Im not coming back. Also the staff was arguing. There was a guy with glasses who was doing his job right, the other 2 guys were being mean to him. Managers need to keep an eye. Its not fair how expensive they charge and long wait. Fix it.

Great place to take the kids, petting zoo, horseback riding and mini train. Place is well maintained, friendly environment. Love this place.

Very nice place!! Kids love it!

Pro: Fun activity for kiddos. My kids loved the train ride!Con: Not very organized. Paid for 4 rides each for my 3 kids but they only went around the track once.... Also petting zoo closes early

I really like taking my girls for a pony ride here. The best part about it is that they get to ride the horses and ponies by themselves. It gives them a sense of confidence and joy you cant get versus other places where the horse is tied up to a walker. The pony isnt tied up to anything or anyone, they get to ride the track with the rider by themselves enhancing the experience for the little riders. I think 2y is the youngest a rider can be though I wreken Ive seen younger. You cant beat the price either. Its $5 a ride and they have lines for slow, fast and tall horses/ponies. Enjoy!!!

Took my girl to the pony ride ….. it took us two hours wait in line for Lea’s then a minute ride just ridiculous. No one tells you that this is the time u need to wait …. Cashier was very rude. Not going there again and not recommending this place . Save your time and moms if you want to ride a horse find better place.

Fun place to take the kids. Pony rides, train ride, petting zoo. I was here for a kids birthday party, everyone had a great time.

Cute 😍🥰 but dusty.unexpected expense:)

Nice environment! Come here once a week my 1 year old loves horses.

Very nice people a whole lot of fun for the kids really a good place to take your kids out and let them have fun

Waited well over an hour. Only had 2 big horses available to ride. Horrible customer service. When asked what’s taking so long, said that’s as fast as we can go. Go try to get a refund if you don’t want to wait. Not coming back.

Really cute place for pony rides! $5 a ride, a ride is two laps.There are small, medium, and large ponies that go slow or fast.If your kids like ponies, this a great little place for them to experience a quick ride!There is a large parking lot and also street parking.There is a train station for a train ride around the park and a petting zoo.

My daughter loved her first pony ride (at 21 months old)! The petting zoo and train ride were also wonderful. There was also a food and gift stand which sold great toys at a reasonable price.

Lines and wait times are a lot longer than it looks. It is 2 laps per child per ticket. Some parents flush with cash, but not consideration, buy several tickets so that their kids take up 4, 6, 8 or more laps at a time. It was a nominal 2hrs wait for the medium ponies; actual wait was most likely much longer. Even the slow pony line which was supposed to be a 20 min wait ended up being close 1 hr even though there were only 3 families ahead of us. The staff need to rest and rotate the ponies between rides, so there is also a considerable wait between each groups turn.The miniature train was the only ride without a wait.

I grew up going here so often the pony dust probably gave me asthma. It’s a little time capsule and I’m excited to bring my friends to show a new generation of kids something I loved

Great place for little people!! I took my grandson and he thoroughly enjoyed the train ride!! I barely got in and barely got out!! Those seats arent chubby friendly!!!😜

Worst place to visit..they make you wait for hours and the staff is rude…don’t waste your time going to that place.

So happy your open again!! The workers make sure everyone is spaced out, mask on & limited people in one space at a time. My son enjoyed the pony rides & petting zoo. We will be back again

The children enjoy it but dont like their policy of letting children get multiple rides when theres very long lines. I think its fine to do multiple rides when the lines are short. The Max should be 2 consecutive rides if lines are long instead of 4.. The workers are very nice.the 3 stars is because of the policy.

Its fun, its cheap, but the wait is quite long. We waited around 40 minutes for a 3 minute ride

Love the Pony Rides! This place is so much better than it used to be. The rides are only $5 (as of January 2019) and for that you get two laps around the big corral on either a slow, medium, or fast horse, or a ride in the small corral with the little ponies. Weekdays are the best times to go as the rides are, obviously, less busy. Staff is small but friendly.

Best experience for all of us my 3 little girls had lots of funThank you for been open for us in this hard times we really appreciate it

Kids loved their pony ride. But get here early, wait is long.

Does have public restrooms. But everything else cost to ride the pony or ride the train. it is a nice place to go and not very busy nice take family to area in some shady areas parking is free. Concession here, hot dog, chicken nuggets, Burgers, fries, cotton candy, and little bit more. The tickets are $5 a ticket, one ticket to ride ponies 2 tickets to ride the wagon and $2.35 for seniors for train ride and $3.50 for adults and $3 for kids.

They really need to figure out the line or ticket situation. Takes an hour just to get tickets for anything. Used to be fun before the pandemic.

Love this place My kids injoy it and the employers are very Friendly They really make You feel welcome.Thenks team

Great spot to take the kids for a quick outing. Unfortunately the train ride is still closed, but the ponies and petting zoo are open. Everyone was wearing masks. Employees used sanitizer before touching each kid.

Kids get a kick riding the horses!!!fun time with the family enjoy

This place was so great! They have different sized ponies that walk or trot at different paces. It was really exhilarating for my 3 year old! The rides are only 5 bucks too, so a great day with the family on the cheap.They have their own free parking.There is a train ride right next to it thats about 10mins long and is only $2.75. So that is a must!

Ride Ponies, Pet Animals, or take a tour on the mini train! Great place to spend a couple hours.Look out for the Pony that bites in the petting exhibit!

I had a birthday party. I arrived 30 minutes before my party to set up and the party before me was still cleaning up, so I only had 10 minutes to set up. They need better clarification on picking up and go time. Otherwise it was great the pony handlers where very helpful and nice. Everything is done at your own pace.

The party was a success. The pony and goats were tge cherries on top!

Child seriously injured on pony during a horrible accident on 7/17/21. I was there with my daughter for a birthday party. We were in line for her to ride one of the medium ponies when the accident happened. The childs saddle slipped off the pony and the pony was running and dragging the child. Its a horrible tragedy and I hope the child is okay. I will never go here again.

Ponies in the cage look sad and smelly. Not very clean looking. The petting zoo is worse. But it is a nice experience for kids to ride the small horse trail. They have ponies and smaller horses for kids to ride. That is more worth your while.

Our 2 year old daughter loved the carousel pony ride and we had to buy extra tickets. The petting zoo was a little smaller, and the goats went crazy for the food which scared her a little bit.

Love going over I havent been there over 24 years ago it was my son first time going over

Great place for kids to have fun

Unbearable wait.understanding the horses need breaks, employees seem to not care about people waiting over one hr for a pony ride. not sure if management changed, but the employees have no sense of urgency even when the lines are long. i will cease to bring my daughter for this torture

Pony ride price is reasonable $5 per ride little kids have a lot of fun.

Always a fun activity for a good price. The kids are always entertained for longer than I expect at such a small place. Just try to avoid school vacation days... Wait times can be over 2 hours long.

Very affordable and cute way to spend a day with the little ones. Lines arent long and we had a great time. also plenty of places to eat within 3 miles.

Great place to take a break after long travels.

Hello.... Kids and pony rides could be the greatest idea ever. The ponies are well behaved and the staff is very friendly.

We walked around. Kids were having fun. Great place to go as a family

Today was a perfect day to run

Today was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised. My girls had pony rides which they loved and my favorite was how experienced and nice the employees were. We will definitely be back soon. Loved our visit

Great place to spend time with small children. Its fun and interesting for them, since they have a small area where you can touch and feed animals. We rode slow and medium speed ponies. Medium speed ponies might scare some kids when they start to accelerate.

Very fun and safe experience for kids.

Lines could be better organised. Sign post and communicate which line is which. Petting zoo is the smallest l have ever seen.

Long lines during weekends

Great for kids starting from 1 year old. Different rides depending on the sp=d of the pony. $5 per ride and free parking nearby.

The park is limiting people/capacity due to covid19. Although, if you get through:Parking is free, pony/horse rides are 5 bucks per ticket, wait line to get on the pony/horse is under 10min, (before covid, wait line was over an hour during the weekend), feeding animals is 4 bucks, and the snack shop is open. Note: animals do looks a bit old and the place is pretty small but my 4yr old loved it. There is age, height, and weight restrictions to ride. The train ride is still not open, they might open towards the end of April if the city allows it.

Nice and fun place to take the kids out for a weekend. Expect long wait lines on the pony rides in these covid times. Especially on the pony Rides. 20-30 minutes for tickets and rides.

Kid friendly and professional helpful to Everyone 😌😁☺️ Loved it

Staffs are friendly but you have to be patient waiting for the ride 😊 kids had a great time.

My 3 y.o loves this , she said shes a princess on her pony lol

Nice place to train for a marathon. Theres so much more Ill ha e to do a other route next time

My kids love this place, Specially my little princess. She loves the Pony Ride.

Nice staff and very fun experience for the kids. Our kids had lots of fun and cant wait to go back again.

Brought my family here, bought tickets for pony ride, got to front of line but the 3 families in front of mine came together and although we were waiting patiently the staff allowed them to occupy ponies for several rounds passing tickets to person in staff shirt each time they finished their cycle I asked why, and explained that it was not fair, while he played pokemongo on his phone, rather than paying attention, they told me to talk to manager girl, who told me that the owner allows them to do as they please, when I asked for owners number she said it was an email, I asked for that and she threatened me with police, which were called I didnt get their names as they refused, if wanted fair treatment and great use of your families time avoid this place at all costs.SincerelyDisappointed no longer patronShe even accused me of threatening her because I asked for names

My daughter loves this place she really loves to ride the ponies and go on the train ride. We have been to the Griffith Park Pony Ride enough time that I can confidently say that we haven’t had a bad experience, always a good time. If you have kids and are looking for some great fun for them, I’d say take them there and let them do something different. I’m sure they’ll love it too and you won’t spend very much money either.

Been going here since I was a kid and now taking the next generation (my kids). Always a great time here. Staff is great and funny

This place is bit crowded on weekends, kids can enjoy small and big pony rides. Parking is free. Kids can also enjoy park train ride here.

I love the little train ride at Christmas time.

Great place. Small but definitely worth to stop by attraction, specially when there is more to do if travel further into Griffith Park. Pony ride and mini train tour are inexpensive and very fun for kids.

Very crowded. The line to get the ride is insane. Wait time was 2.30 hours.

I have fun .

Great place for the little ones. Is extremely busy on weekends

Great staff, good ponies. ❤💙

Griffith park is a great place for outdoor activity. Kids are most welcome as they can enjoy a pony ride while enjoying nature. Good spots for picnicking and a visit to the Zoo afterwards!

Long lines. Dirty. Poorly maintained restrooms. Indifferent staff. Expensive. Not a fan.

Pony rides were closing, petting zoo was cool..

Fair price adequate length of ride. Kids lived it.

Line all the way down the street for the Choo choo. Hot sweaty frustrated parents & their kids with not a train in motion! 2 conductors gabbing away in the shade.

This place has changed a lot since I was a kid So much to do you could almost make a full day out of it

Love hiking here

DO NOT COME HERE ON THE WEEKEND! you will wait an hour for a 3 min pony ride not worth it...this place has a lot of potential but its just a rundown

Love this place very peaceful good hicking grounds everyone is friendly. Im coming back again for sure.

Great staff with children! They also have a mini train ride for kids to explore more after pony rides!

Great place. Something for everyone.

Nice time for kids and horses. If you never been there, I suggest starting your 2-5 yr at the slow pace level which is a walk pace, then try medium level, the horses run but its slow enough for kids. Buy 5 tickest at once atleast @ $5 ea. It will save you time.

It was fun well i didnt ride the ponies cause i am above the age and weight 🏋 but i saw it and the train it was a great experience

Always a blast.....lil one always enjoys.
