Parking Requirements:

For the safety of our animals and workers we require parking as close to the setup area as possible. The Petting Zoo's truck and trailer parking of 45-50ft (4-5 car lengths) is required. Our rigs do not fit in most driveways, and we do not back-in or park illegally. Parking on the street in front of the house or setup area is a must. Once we are parked, we cannot move and will not leave the animals unattended. It is important for the safety of our animals that our trucks and trailers remain accessible at all times of the event. 

 

Setup Area requirements:

We arrive early for setup. Our equipment is heavy and for the safety of our employees and animals please make sure there are no obstacles to the setup area. Delayed setup time caused by no reserved parking or obstacles will run into contracted event start time. We can set up on grass, dirt or cement away from loud noises, jumpers, other animals and toxic plants. We do not set up on gravel, rocks or places deemed unsafe for the animals. Setup area must be level, no steep inclines or stairways!

 

Space needed:

Please send us a text or email (pictures are encouraged) if you are unsure if the setup area meets our requirements. 

Petting Zoo: 16x16 shaded area 

Ponies: 20x20+ area is most practical
