This is my second time visiting. The first time I went, the staff was a little rude but the…read moreexperience was wonderful. A 1 hour horse ride through the trail where you get full reigns of your horse and even do a little galloping on the ride! On my most recent visit, the staff were very very friendly and helpful! Its under new management and I definitely noticed a difference. A special shout out to the staff member (I forgot her name) who has the long eyelashes and is super funny! On weekdays the ride is $35 per person and the staff pair you with a horse that you would be a good match with. The trail is tranquil and scenic, however make sure you wear repellent because mosquitoes are ruthless (no surprise there). 10/10 recommend. Its a nice break from the city and the horses are super calm and friendly. Side note: I had "Honey" and she is featured in Anne of Green Gables and Handmaids Tale! I'll get her autograph next time.

Good experience with the horses despite the hot weather. The staff were amazing and friendly to all…read moremy friends as we booked as a group of over 15 people. They chose horses that match the rider and it worked out great. Don't expect to gallop as this was a basic ride along a trail on their ranch. The staff taught us how to ride and at times we needed to avoid the horses in front making a wc stop along the trail. The horses were good sports letting us ride in the heat but we needed them to keep focus by pulling their head up to avoid stopping to eat grass. As a bonus for a large group, the ranch provided an exclusive area for us to hold a bbq picnic. A good friend brought the grill and we had a delicious meal with burgers, corn and mushrooms. Definitely would recommend the branch for beginners. Will try to find another ride where we can gallop.

Great place to learn how to ride a horse without driving for miles outside the city…read more Friendly and knowledgeable staff (and horses :)). I took an introductory course for adults for 7 weeks (once a week) and learned how to groom, tack a horse, bridle, walk and stop (well, almost ). I am looking forward to continue working on trotting and steering in my next series of classes (Novice). I recommend this place to all my friends. PS. Missing Cheerio already... Until we meet again...

I came up to Ridgewood Farm to check it out and had a really good time. Tyler is a great instructor…read moreand the stable is even warm during the cold winter months. They offer private, semi-private and group lessons and aren't too far from the city of Toronto. Their horses are trained really well and they will work with you to teach you what you need to learn. Most of Tyler's students win in the competitions they attend. I would definitely go back. :)

I am taking lessons with Adrienne and she is terrific, relatable and is a skilled instructor.

If you are looking for a stable look no further. This is one.

Ryan Horse We came…read moreby for a trail ride and I have mixed reviews. I told them I know how to ride and they gave me a horse named Ryan, who was really sluggish and required tons of leg work to keep up with the group. It was absolutely exhausting and super frustrating. We came by here to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary and I did not enjoy it. My husband and was given a different horse named Ranger, and he didn't have to do anything to keep his horse moving. He had a much better experience than me. Another con is they don't let you interact with the horses before the ride or after the ride. I would have liked to be able to pet the horses or pet them and get some close ups with the horses. When you are on the trail ride they take your photo at two spots and this is included with admission cost. However we paid full price and I heard other people say how much they paid and they had used a groupon and paid half as much as us. After the ride, they offered us a promo to come back but I did not take the flyer because I did not want to go back. I feel bad writing this review because I don't want anything bad to happen to any of the horses if their business does badly but I did not have a good time. I don't recommend riding the horse named Ryan. The company also said to not to bring your phones but everyone else brought their phones. I was disappointed I didn't have mine.

Lionel Petting Zoo is only in operation from May until October, which makes sense as it looks like…read morethe whole zoo is outdoors. They have a maximum of 10 people inside at a time (according to their website) however even though we booked a specific time frame, there was pretty clearly more than 10 people inside. Unlike some other zoos we went too, there was no real path to follow. It's basically a giant square with a small square on the inside. The outline of the larger square is filled with fenced in animals, and the inner square has fenced animals as well. Although its understandable they have an admission fee for the upkeep of the animals, I feel it should have included the feed. Other zoos are free admission and only charge for feed (ie. high park) so in terms of value, this is a bit below par. Finally, I would never say the animals are aggressive, however when trying to feed the goats, one of them bit the entire feed bag and ripped it away. As I'm an adult, this is fine as I am agile and athletic, however a small child could have easily gotten injured, so perhaps some more training would suffice.

Went mid August looking for something to do with my son. I though the admission price was kind of…read morepricey ($28 for 5 people), does not matter if you have 3 people, same price for the group and much smaller than I thought. You get to choose time slot and we only got 45 mins before we had to leave which was plenty of time mind you since it was really hot. Extra $5 for a bag of feed to feed the animals. My son enjoyed looking at the animals but I wish the price was per person so I don't have to pay the same amount even if I have a smaller family.
