I am only rating it a 1 because there is no zero. We booked them from 12p to 2p to celebrate my daughter's 1st birthday. They did not show up on time and kept saying they were on their way. I never got a status from them unless u called or inquired. If you are late or having issues, you would expect a business to be the ones calling to provide status. After 3 hours later, I finally told them to cancel because the party was getting ready to end. This is not acceptable what so ever. I am still waiting for the deposit to be refunded. We used this vendor before and they were also late but only a few mins later. Never expected this. But I should have known there would be issues because the lack of response when booking seemed odd compared to the prior year. I would not recommend them at all. Sad to say well need to find a more reliable vendor.

10/10 best idea for my daughters birthday party . Literally made her extremely happy - the animals were all very calm , very clean & healthy . I LOVED this and will probably do it next year as well . Tiffany showed up as expected , called me when on her way & was easy to work with . She offered teaching about the animals and answered all questions. The pony ride was a huge hit and my daughter did not want to get off . Loved it!

UPDATE: Tiffany, in response to your most recent comment. You must have needed to change numbers as this seems to be a frequent issue with your business. Based solely off your yelp reviews you FREQUENTLY cancel last minute on your reservations and then refuse to give people their money back. It is very sad to see how many other people you have stolen money from just as you've done to me. There was NO ISSUE with communication, you responded to my text messages stating that you would return my money but now seem to be saying the opposite. You business is clearly very poorly run which also concerns me about the poor animals that are in your care. We have given you ample time to return my deposit. You have also declined my Zelle request for my deposit. You have made it very clear that you have no plan to return my deposit. Due to ALL of these reasons we have moved forward with a small claims case. I truly hope that anyone who is planning their next event sees these reviews and saves themselves the trouble of having to go through this and also prevent their party from being ruined like ours did. You are not REPUTABLE NOR RELIABLE.

My friends and family absolutely loved the experience that Tiffany and Itty Bitty Mobile Petting zoo provided for our sons special day. I cant thank her and her brother Dustin enough! Its so special what they do for everyone! Even the adults were in love with the animals! So heres some info that might be useful if your deciding to book... It was my first time booking a petting zoo, I found them through a google and yelp search, along with a few other options. My deciding factor was Tiffanys instagram page. The other two options didnt have an instagram and no visibility. Being able to see Tiffany and how she cares for the animals and the professional events that she has been a part of made me comfortable and confident in booking with them. The pricing was reasonable and fair. It wasnt the cheapest and it wasnt the most expensive, but I also wasnt looking for a deal, I was looking for an experience! Itty Bitty delivered beyond what I was expecting. Tiffany is easy to communicate with through text, which I love because its easier for me, being a full time working mom, text is sometimes my only option. You must have patience! Because I am so busy and understand how busy other people can be, immediate responses are not needed and sometimes our text replies were hours or a day or so apart. If you need immediate communication, this might be a sore spot for you if you cant understand that taking care of her animals are the priority. On the day of the event, Tiffany let me know her brother was on the way and when he arrived he was quick to set up and interact with the kids and give us the back story on all the animals. We had Teddy the sheep, one eyed willis the goat, and ducks, chickens, roosters, bunnies and 2 other goats. I didnt get all the names because I was busy chasing toddlers around, but would have loved to have spent more time with our furry friends. I also added on to the package pony rides and Marshmallow was our pony for the event. Marshmallow was the sweetest. Very gentle around my son who loves animals but sometimes is frightened by the larger animals up close. When my son approached Marshmallow, Marshmallow was still and calm, almost like she was reading his energy and knew to be gentle for him. Every parent at the party was asking me for the info and every parent and child raved about them being there. They kept the the are clean, consistently picking up after all of the animals. Itty Bitty is absolutely the best!

We went to a 1st birthday party in Anaheim where they had a petting zoo set up through Itty Bitty Mobile Petting Zoo. We had a great time and spent the entire time in the petting zoo with the animals and talking to Clay the handler. Clay was knowledgeable, answered all our questions about the animals, and showed everyone how to hold all the animals properly, including an 8-week-old Kunekune piglet appropriately named "Ms. Piggy". Ms. Piggy fell asleep in my wife's arms for a half hour and we were in love. All the animals were healthy and after interacting with Clay for a few minutes I could tell two things. The care and safety of his animals come first, and these are not just a commodity. Clay cares for them like they are beloved family pets and would never put them in danger to make money. We had an amazing time and hope to see Itty Bitty at another party soon.

I had to come on here and write review for Itty bitty petting zoo because they are absolutely amazing ! I scheduled them for my daughters first birthday and they were a hit ! The children enjoyed the animals so much! I personally was in love with the baby pigs! I will definitely be contacting them again for my daughters 2nd birthday! We were so impressed and greatful!

Omg. If I could give Tiffany and her petting zoo 10 stars I would in a heartbeat. For reference, I got the small petting zoo which included two goats, a sheep, a piggy, some chickens and ducks and a few bunnies. It was seriously the perfect arrangement and amount of animals for a small party of kids and adults. From the beginning she made the whole process so easy, she was responsive and informative about exactly what I was getting with my reservation. She showed up early for set up and the animals . I've never seen a friendlier bunch of animals. I really can't tell you who had more fun, the kids or the adults. Enjoyed by everyone ten fold and will be keeping her number for parties in the future. Tiffany, thank you for the best surprise birthday for my boy!

We had them for my nice's 2nd bday party. Total success with both kids and adults. Animals were happy and seemed well cared for. Not the usual " petting zoo stink" . Would definitely recommend. Only thing is you do have to be forward in your effort with ur communication because sometime she lacks in that department. But worth it!!!

Best decision ever to hire Tiffany and her Petting Zoo for my sons 1st birthday party. From the start, Tiffany was so accommodating and provided excellent service. She's great at communicating exactly what you will get for the price you pay. She sends updates through text as well prior to the party to let you know what animals she'll be bringing. All of her animals are so well behaved and great for kids of all ages. She even brings vegetables and feed so the kids can feed the animals. They do a great job of cleaning up as well. You'll never even know animals were there. I would highly recommend hiring her for your parties.

We decided to have Itty Bitty for my daughters 2nd birthday & everyone absolutely loved the petting zoo! All the animals are so friendly & we love how we got their background stories since most of them are rescues! I already have so many of the guests hoping to book them for their events as well! Definitely recommended to anyone!

I had hired this company for my clients daughters 5th birthday. The birthday girl asked for bunnies, so I hired itty bitty petting zoo. I left them a $300 deposit and they were a no-show day of party. Instead of them, reaching out to me that day I had to continuously try to call and text and DM them on Instagram. When I finally got a message from them that day they said oh we we're trying to find your number. Then I asked if they were going to still come and I didn't get a response until hours later saying that supposedly they were blocked in their driveway. if that was the case, they should've let me know that morning, and I could've found another company that would've shown up. Then they text me that they the deposit back in 10 days. I paid the deposit through Zelle. Zelle takes minutes to go through so I don't know why they had to wait 10 days but we are now way past the 10 days since this event was March 16, 2024. I have messaged them they read the messages, but I still have no response. I now have to pay out of my own pocket the deposit to give to my client. I feel taken advantage of, and I really hope this does not happen to anybody else.

I found this little petting zoo after doing a quick Google search in the area that I was going to be in for my son's birthday and I was so happy I didn't have to search much else! I chatted with Tiffany about the services she provided and she made it very smooth and clear what it would be like. Very reasonable pricing for the amount of work they have to do to bring these little guys places ! Our favorite out of the bunch was the little mini rooster as the kids were able to hold him and would do a little *cockadoodle doo* which everyone got so excited for. When it comes to animals we were so happy with the rest of their selection for a small get together for my son. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone else. Thank you guys so much for doing what u do, we all had a lot of fun. read more

This was the second time that we had Itty Bitty Mobile Petting Zoo in our home. This time it was for my daughter's 4th birthday party and we got the Unicorn Package for 2 hours! They were a little late but of course we always have to give room for traffic and such especially when transporting so many animals That was no problem at all! Our theme was hello kitty and she matched Marshmallow so perfectly! I honestly should've gotten her for 3-4 hours because the kids had so much fun! This is the first time my daughter had ever been on a horse And she was so brave and so happy! She did not even want to get off at all! The small petting zoo was also very nice! The animals looked very calm, clean and happy. The kids were absolutely happy and we would love to book them again! read more

This company is super rad! I wanted to surprise my fiancé with an alpaca and Donkey for her Bday, and the animals Tiffany brought were perfect! They had cute, funny personalities and it was actually more affordable than I expected. Tiff was flexible with us since her bday was a Thursday. The one thing I liked the most was the alpaca. She was all white and just kinda chilled the entire time and she took awesome selfies as well . Thanks again itty bitty for accommodating my requests last minute. read more

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM I booked with her in the beginning of August and she took my deposit and never followed up. My daughter's first birthday is less than two weeks away now and she is now telling me she cannot provide me services between the time frame of the party. Which now I see she never had any intention of providing services she claims to offer. I have been more than patient with her and understanding but the lack of communication on her end was worrisome. After looking at her Instagram and also now her yelp page it seems this is an ongoing issue. She takes people's money and DOES NOT provide any services. She has now blocked me on Instagram as well as my phone number on her multiple phones with no intentions of giving me my money or any intention of providing any services. I hope this rotten person gets what she deserves after stealing money from so many people. COMPANY IS A COMPLETE SCAM DO NOT BOOK WITH HER read more

Tiffany is amazing! We hired her for our son's 5th birthday and the entire planning and communication with Her was spectacular. Sending payment, asking for special request, and scheduled time to set up and leave went off without any hiccups! She had a great set of friendly animals all ages will love - from kids to adults. The petting zoo was the biggest it for the party and really gave guest something to be excited about. My kid was so happy and all the photos we took was priceless. What really sets Tiffany and Itsy Bitsy Mobile petting zoo apart besides her great communication and pricing was that she makes sure ALL guest get a chance to interact with the animals and she is a strong advocate for animal rights so you know she cares for each of her animals very deeply. One of our guest even bought a bunny from her at the party and she helped provide great advice on how to care for it and what they love! I would suggest Tiffany and Itsy bitsy to anyone and will be using her again if I ever need a petting zoo or want to purchase a pet! read more

WORST CHILD'S BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEA EVER!! Responsible parents: STAY AWAY! Just saw these guys at Gless Ranch in Riverside. I can't believe they brought piglets that were maybe 6-8 pounds and perhaps 6-8 weeks old to "play" in a tiny pen surrounded by a half dozen preschoolers! The piglets wanted to be with their mother, and their mother was forcefully rubbing her nose into the legs of the kids who were sitting on the ground holding her piglets. The mother was obviously annoyed, and the piglets were squealing only when the preschoolers were trying to "play" with them! Add this on top of the very small guinea pigs and bunnies packed into a small pen with about one dozen children and a half dozen parents. I can't imagine these animals were having fun, either. I've been to about a dozen petting zoos, but I've never seen anything this appalling before. The petting zoo at Tom's Farms is a much better experience for the animals and humans alike. This took the fun out of what would have otherwise been a nice event. Treat the animals nicely or find another way to make a buck! read more

My little one and I had an great time! We enjoyed our visit to Gless Ranch &the little time we did get to spend at this mobile petting zoo. The animals were gentle and I felt it was safe enough to bring my 2 year old into the petting area...he even got to feed the animals! We loved the local experience, he loved it so much he didn't want to leave! TO THE BUSINESS/OWNERS: Thank you for coming out into our community and allowing for these interactions with the rescues! Your efforts make all of the difference! read more

I was planning on using them for my sons birthday party. Tiffany was very quick to respond when I initially texted with my event details. She was on board and everything looked good, I just told her I'd finalize the date/time with my husband and get back to her, she said no problem. TWO days later I confirmed all the details (nothing had changed from when we originally spoke) but she went completely MIA. I called and texted a couple more times until I finally gave up. I was really excited to use her service but with how she became unresponsive so quickly I am happy I didn't move forward. I ended up going with Mobile Petting Zoo of Southern California and had a WONDERFUL experience!!! read more

Absolutely stoked that my husband found Itty Bitty Petting Zoo! My daughter was having a Unicorn themed 10th Birthday and threw us a curve ball within the last week and a half or so that she would love a REAL UNICORN and of course we had to find one! Tiffany was super accommodating considering the fairly short notice and they delivered the cutest petting zoo and Marshmallow (the cutest and kindest Unicorn ever). Everyone raved about how cute this idea was and I can't say enough about how sweet all of the animals were. To top it all off, I love that this is a family business. We always love to support small businesses and family owned businesses. Although we are sad we didn't meet Tiffany personally,we were happy to meet Daniel! He was super awesome with the kids and had the patience of a Saint! Great couple! They are reasonably priced for the great service you are getting. They have different packages to fit your budget and every single dime is worth it! We are so happy Itty Bitty Petting Zoo and will recommend them every chance we get. read more

We booked the princess package with a unicorn for our daughters 6th birthday and we had the most magical and memorable day!! Scheduling everything with Tiffany was a breeze, the day of the event went so smoothly which is extra incredible given the amount of animals and kindergartners at the birthday party haha. The animals were soooo sweet, patient, well cared for and adorable! Neither the kids or adults could get enough! Tiffany and Austin were so friendly and accommodating - there is not one single thing that I would have changed and I am sooo thankful we were able to find and book the itty bitty petting zoo! read more

Super disappointing experience with Itty Bitty. They were pretty easy with booking. I reached out to confirm the day before, the owner responded. But 2 hours before our event they cancelled!! Said all their employees were puking. This is at 10:30 in the morning and their setup time was 12:30. That was WAY too late to communicate this to me. Our event had already started! Thankfully we were able to book a face painter in 1 hour to come and help cover up the disappointment for not having the petting zoo that we advertised for 3 weeks for over 100 kids and 200 adults. They were coming from Riverside to Costa Mesa, so the timing was super last minute. I asked for them to even just send bunnies or something small, they couldn't even do that. It just doesn't make sense. And for what it's worth, anyone who has ever had a stomach bug, never slept in until 10:30!! It just doesn't add up and it wasn't professional at all. I gave them 2 starts because they returned our deposit easily, but other than that, super disappointed. I purposely tried not to book other companies that had cancelled or no showed. This was for work and I didn't want any drama and then it ended up happening anyway! read more

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!! I booked Tiffany's pony Marshmallow for my granddaughters unicorn birthday party months in advance. My granddaughter was so excited. Booking everything was easy. I sent in 50% deposit. Tiffany confirmed a few days ahead. The morning of the party she texted me her transmission was out. I suggested she rent a truck. She said she couldn't, and that all three of her cars weren't working. Her next text with two hours before the party was you should get someone else!! I shared my situation with the other vendors of at the party. Several of them mentioned this company a pattern of canceling the day of the event. So disappointing!! I wanted to give it zero stars, but this app won't allow it. read more

This company is a scam. Do NOT be fooled. Do NOT give this woman your money. I booked my daughter's birthday party with this company and Tiffany requested a 50% deposit which is reasonable. What is NOT reasonable is confirming details, payment, etc, over the phone and discussing an arrival time of 30 minutes before for setup and then on the morning of the party POOF! NOTHING! Absolutely no contact what so ever. She did not show up. I called multiple times and was sent straight to voicemail. I text the number that she had been messaging me from no response. Called another known affiliated number and no answer. Multiple calls later, 22 to be exact...nothing. My daughter's party came and went with no sign of Tiffany or this so called ITTY BITTY PETTING ZOO... such a disappointment, she should be ashamed of how she operates like this. Again reader beware! This is a scam. She will NOT show. And you will lose your money. If you're looking for a reliable petting zoo look somewhere else because you WONT find that here read more

However, if you are traveling from far away, or even out of state/ country, this zoo may not be your cup of tea. Here's why. They don't have a huge variety of animals here. If you are wanting to see all the animals, then you should go to the San Diego Zoo. That zoo reigns supreme of all Zoo's for Souther California. The Orange County Zoo is nice, and great. However, they don't have a huge variety of animals here. They also have lots of disabled animals. If you are looking to see healthy animals, again the San Diego Zoo is your place. Now cost wise, this zoo is way cheaper than the San Diego Zoo. That is something to consider. I think all zoos are wonderful because they house and care for animals. I do think it is worth knowing what you want to see at the zoo and then decide which one will fit your needs. That being said, The Orange County Zoo is a great zoo. It is clean and you will see some animals for a very cheap price. If you don't mind seeing animals who are being rehabilitated, this is a good zoo.

All of the staff stay fully in character the entire time, and their costumes are beautifully made and very detailed. It really adds to the whole experience. The farm itself isn't your typical farm,it's more of a historical village with different stations set up to demonstrate things like candle making, crocheting from that time period, how the judicial system worked, and even the types of games people used to play. One of the highlights was the Revolutionary War reenactment at the end, where the kids actually got to participate as soldiers. It was such a cool experience and also really educational at the same time. I went as part of a school group, but you could definitely visit on your own and still have a great time.

They have a snack shop located right across from the kids' playground, with the restrooms and gift shop conveniently nearby. I respect that they focus on rehabilitation and rescue. It's clean, easy to walk through, and probably a good educational stop for kids.

I thought, let's just keep trying, maybe it's just that he's scared and he'll learn if we stick it out. My child struggles with sensory issues and has not been interested in getting his face wet. He also has a harder time being around other kids in very close proximity which, he definitely is here. He did the group lessons for 30 mins and they're basically shoulder to shoulder most of the time. So, the good: when he first started he really liked the two different teachers that worked w/him. The class was usually just him and one other child. The location is clean, and the staff seemed friendly. My son also mostly enjoyed the time and being in the pool, so it was good for getting more experience around other kids, teachers and being in a new environment. The negative: the teachers rotate so you never know who you're going to get. So one teacher might know where your kid is at, but then a new person comes in the next week and it's like starting all over. It seems hard to build a comfortable relationship with the teachers because of this as well. Also, my son never progressed much at all. He moved to the larger pool this year and it's been 3 kids to 1 teacher. recently, however, there were 4 kids in the class. I timed it on my phone out of curiosity- to see exactly how much 1:1 time he got during that class. 4 mins and 9 seconds. Total. The class moved like a conveyor belt just shuffling the kids around, I couldn't believe the kids were getting less than 5 mins each with the teacher. The time in between their turn, they're just holding on to the edge of the pool waiting. My son felt very cramped and two other kids were being kids and having fun but disrupting the class, so the teacher's attention was mainly spent on telling them to stop doing what they were doing. My son was frustrated and felt like he wasted his time. He also had safety concerns because the kids were practically on top of him at times and kicking and splashing in his personal space, so I don't blame him. He's already afraid as it is. Today we went back and there were 4 kids again. He just didn't want to do it again. The kids seem to be on a hamster wheel. The teachers, though friendly, simply don't have adequate time to actually teach the kids anything solid. It's like busy work. I also had a strange phone conversation with the owner recently. to be frank, she kept trying to rush me off the phone and I kept having to say "oh, wait sorry" (nicely) because i had more than one question but she seemed bothered with me. She also didn't explain about making up a certain day and how many days I had to reschedule when my kid got sick. You only get one make up class for the whole year which seems odd to me. We already missed two classes due to vacation (1 planned reschedule) and sickness (she apparently gave us 7 days from the date of the class to reschedule but didn't actually communicate that to me- I found out from the girls at the front desk AFTER the fact and the 7 days passed, which was frustrating because I would have brought him in. I guess I was supposed to assume what she meant when she asked "what does he have??" As in asking what illness he had. I said idk, a cold I think? But wasn't sure. So she "made a note" on her end but never specified that I had to come in within 7 days to make it up. Which really was just a courtesy reschedule because they don't even offer that. So, oh well. Honestly though, even beyond all this, I could see and feel the judgement when I mentioned today that my kid was more easily overwhelmed and we would maybe look into one on one classes for the future. I got the impression that there was very little understanding or empathy there for my child, and my family and I felt brushed off. Bottom line, just not for us. 4 kids is too many for one pool. 4 mins is not enough time to give each kid when you're paying for 30. Maybe one on one classes are different, or with smaller groups, but I had too many incidents where I brought up a concern and felt dismissed. In the future we'll be going elsewhere but I'm bummed we went for so long with really not much to show for it. At the very least my kid got a little more comfortable being in the water but for paying about $400-$500 total and like 4-5 months of weekly classes? I would not say this was worth that time or money unfortunately.

Stopped by Gless Ranch today for some fresh OJ and strawberries. Itty Bitty Petting Zoo happened to be there. Our daughter (8 years old) had a great time checking out and handling the animals. They even had tiny, baby pigs that would squeal for a few seconds when picked up. Our cat does the same thing some times. LOL. The owner said they will occasionally take them to events like this so they get used to being around large groups of people and being touched. Unfortunately there were a few unruly kids that were a little rough with the animals...just tossing rabbits and guinea pigs around. It looked like they handled it and kicked them out. read more

It was a real pleasure to work with Itty Bitty Petting Zoo for Dylann's 4th Birthday Party. Very professional and friendly. I am a Party Planner and I pride myself on working with vendors that have the same work ethic as I do. They definitely delivered. All the guest had a fantastic time. Will definitely be using them in the future. The Ponies and Big Daddy were my absolute favorite! read more

Itty bitty petting zoo at Laguna Beach Sawdust Festival was awful. Too many animals in a crowded space with too many adults and children. Too little water full of Sawdust. Sad situation for animals, and depressing for visitors. read more
