We had the most magical experience at Poway Horse Party. I came two days in a row, and I truly cannot say enough good things. Jen is the absolute sweetest. You can feel how much she genuinely cares about every child and parent who comes through. She made everything feel so thoughtful, intentional, and special for the kids. Every little detail felt considered, and it created such a warm, welcoming environment. All of the animals are clearly so loved and well cared for, which made the experience even more meaningful. You can tell this isn't just something she runs, it's something she pours her heart into. The next day, she hosted my group of friends and it was just as incredible. We all had the best time and made the sweetest memories with our babies. It was one of those experiences you wish you could bottle up and relive. We will absolutely be coming back again and again. Truly love, love, love this place. read more

Stay away! I just called to inquire about Veterans Day camp for my child. The website asks you to call for neurodivergent kids, we have a very relatively minor speech delay I was concerned would prevent my child from communicating her own needs throughout the day. The owners were both on the call. I asked if I could possibly join to have her safely enjoy the time and was told no because they can't explain to the other kids why my child has her parent there and they don't. I asked if she is really comparing a special needs child to a fully abled one and they didn't seem to understand the opportunity to share how to be inclusive and supportive of kids who need a little extra help. So disappointing as a horse person to see this response from our community. Off to Helen Woodward! read more

Had my 4 year old birthday party here and it was amazing. The people at the Ranch made this a birthday to remember. They make you feel like family from the moment you arrive until you leave. I wish I could give this place 6 stars. The kids loved every moment of the party. They had it planned out from start to finish so the kids where entertained the whole time. Thank you to all people who work so hard make my little girls birthday so special. read more

We did our girl's 9th birthday party there. What a lovely place and such a hospitable host crew. From the care to kids while the arrived, to the decorations assistance, and thoughtful photo frame, everything exceeded our expectations far beyond! Thank you so much for making a memorable day for our little girl. read more

We loved this place and the guides (Phil and his son Murdad) were both so welcoming. We visited several areas to meet different farm animals. The children were thrilled to feed, pet and hold many animals. All the animals were so gentle that even my one year old was able to interact with them. There were several seating areas and shady spots to cool off. My kids said thier favorite part was riding the horse. The horse, Spirit, was so intuitive with the children and would trot and stop on thier command. They had a beautiful, shaded seating area right next to riding areas for adults to watch the fun! There is also a clean, stylish bath room and hand washing area. I would recommend this for any small group that loves animals and want a hands on experience! We will be talking about this experience for a long time. read more

100000/10 experience! We did our daughter's 6th birthday party here and it was fantastic! It is so lovely to have a private setting for a party that is quiet and peaceful. The kids got to horseback ride, pet animals, make crafts, etc. Everyone had something to do! Surprisingly to me, the mud kitchen and the hopscotch were well used. The family helps with every aspect of the party and keeps it moving along with great suggestions. I never once felt stressed. Our guests all came up from San Diego and raved about the experience. I have been recommending this place to everyone. I hope to come back from a Ladies Night! Thank you, Jen and Phil, for the memorable party! read more

We hosted our son's 6th birthday party here this past weekend. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience. Everything about it was special. The staff were so attentive and helpful. (Even with set up/tear down). They thought of everything. It really blew us away. The kids got amazing time with the animals, the animals were well socialized and well cared for. Everyone working was kind, and I feel like they thought of everything, the timing never felt rushed or slow. I would recommend them to anyone. Such a hidden gem. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. read more

Poway Horse Party is a gem in our community. Phil and his team provided a wonderful experience. He hosted my daughter's 3rd birthday and it was a dream come true. The children were all able to interact, feed and even hold the animals as well as ride on the horse. Our family is looking forward to participating in mommy and me days as well as future camps. Thank you Phil for a day to remember. read more

We had my daughter's 5th birthday here and what an amazing experience. Staff was there to guide us from start to finish. They had the sweetest animals.

We will definitely be back. read more

We had our daughter's 6th birthday party at Springbrook Ranch and it was a total hit with my daughter and all of the guests!!! Phil's family are such kind people and made the day go so smoothly. I loved that they were able to remember to do things like take pictures or video, or when to start cutting the cake, so we could focus on enjoying the day with our guests. They made all of the children feel comfortable riding the horse and helped ensure they enjoyed their interaction with the smaller animals, while teaching them how to handle animals responsibly. We truly loved our experience there and hope to return for another celebration or camp! read more

We held our 7-year-old daughter's birthday here and it was great! Kids all had a blast, parents had a blast and overall a very memorable experience for all. The grounds were very well kept, organized, and the animals were well cared for. Phil, his family, and the workers were very kind, respectful, helpful, and great to have assisting at the party. We throw a nice party every year for our kids, and this was the first time I felt the money we spent was really worth it (I mean its always worth it cause the kids have fun, but this was more than that). My sister even ended up booking a party for my niece here! read more

Springbrook Ranch is a treasure in Poway. We went to a family birthday party here. It was fantastic ! Each child had an opportunity to brush the horse and learn about some basic care and had the opportunity to sit on a horse & be led around the arena. A big plus is that the older kids and adults were offered a chance to be on the horse. (My highlight of the party!) Kids enjoyed petting the chickens, mini horse and a bunny plus seeing goats and other animals. The hosts, Jen & Phil were very gracious and attentive. Their two kids were wonderful. Each person that sat on the horse was given a photo keepsake from Phil. read more

Great time for the whole family. Owners are friendly, easy to schedule and would love to return. Highly recommend! read more

We celebrated my daughter's 6th birthday party at Springbrook Ranch. And, it's hard to express everything, but simply put - this was the best birthday we've ever had! All the help, warmth, beautiful animals, girls who've helped with kids and had answers for all their not-trivial questions, and surprises from owners - that all made our day and celebration better than we could've imagined! And more than all that, which I think was the main factor - it was such a pleasure communicating with people of Springbrook Ranch! All our guests were asking how'd we found that place, and I am so grateful and feel so lucky we did! Thank you and all the best for the family of Springbrook Ranch! read more

This is the sweetest little farm where kids get to really be with farm animals! We went for my son's 4th birthday while visiting my parents who live in Poway. It was amazing for the whole family. My son has not stopped talking about it since and now we can't wait to make it back to Poway to visit again! read more

Phil, Jen, and their kids are the most amazing people and host. They are so kind, friendly, attentive, and accommodating, I can't say enough. We don't regret booking their ranch for our son's 11th birthday party one bit. It's worth every penny. All the kids loved it and the adults as well. From the moment we got there, their whole family jumped in to help out. Super helpful, and Phil made sure there was no time wasted. He helped with the timing for riding horses, eating time, petting animals, and games. Honestly we booked 2 hours and it wasn't enough so we extended another hour because it was so much fun. If your kiddos love animals, this is the place to go! And we love supporting family owned businesses. It all goes to maintaining the animals. BOOK YOUR NEXT EVENT HERE! read more

My family had a fabulous time at the Springbrook Ranch "family experience." Phil and his daughter Ari were very generous with their time and showed my two kids and two nieces (age range 3-12) a great morning (about 1.5 hours). We fed and petted a mini horse, donkey, goats, bunnies, chickens, and several large horses. Each child had plenty of opportunity to ride Spirit the horse who was great with the kids and adults as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special experience or a birthday party! read more

We celebrated my daughter's 3d birthday here last year and she asked to return again for her 4th birthday. We are so happy that we came back to celebrate another birthday at Poway Horse Party! My daughter and her friends had an amazing time holding the chickens and rabbits, petting all the animals, riding the horse and just running around the farm. Phil and his son were so helpful and attentive to us and the children. All the animals were friendly and well cared for. We will definitely be back again and recommend Poway Horse Party to any animal loving child! read more

I found this place on yelp, and was excited by the excellent reviews. Springbrook Ranch delivered! We celebrated our daughter's birthday here. Jen and Phil and their staff were so attentive. They helped with set up and tear down, they are so efficient! Everyone had so much fun! All of the animals were so gentle. The petting zoo was a big hit. We might have to get a pet rabbit now... While you are waiting for the horse ride, they have arts and crafts. I highly recommend this place. read more

Booked Springbrook Ranch for my daughter's 4th birthday and had an amazing experience. Guests of all ages raved about their time as well. The family is kind, helpful, and wonderful with kids. My daughter was a little nervous when she got there and we were setting up, but Phil had her comfortable within minutes. They were able to ride a horse, pet a variety of animals and do crafts. I would highly recommend. read more

Absolutely amazing animal ranch! Our 5-year-old's birthday party here was a dream come true. The hosts are the best ever - so flexible and accommodating. Phil, Jen, their daughter, the helpers, everyone went above and beyond, ensuring every guest had a fantastic time. The gentle animals made the experience even more incredible. Phil and Jen did such a great job of organizing the whole thing. We were planning a last minute party. They had availability and made it all happen at such short notice. They were very responsive and kept in touch for any questions we had or information we needed before the event. They think of all the tiny details and know how to keep the little ones busy while waiting for turns with the animals. There is something for every age here. It's such a good experience to provide to the kids as a memory on their birthday. The guests also said this was so good and that they've never been to a party like this. That makes it more special. Don't wait, book now before spots fill up - they only host a couple per month. Trust the rave reviews, this place is pure joy for kids and adults alike! So glad we found this gem. read more

Absolutely amazing experience for our 6 year old's birthday party! Phil and Jen completely coordinated the event in order to provide structure. From having personnel on standby to assist the setup and cleanup (fantastic help by the way, completed before guests arrived even though we showed up half an hour later due to traffic conditions) to horse rides and animal petting sessions (friendliest chickens and most adorable rabbits) with crafts in between. All of the kids were occupied, excited from start to finish, and the adults were just as happy as the children. Thank you again for a memory that will stay with our family forever! read more

My daughter had her 10 years old birthday party at Springbrook Ranch. She and her friends had so much fun playing with all kinds of animals. The farm has horses, mini horses, goats, chickens, rabbits and three lovely cats running around.  The party is very well organized. Phil, Jen, their kids and the helper are friendly and easy to get along with. They offered to help set up and clean the tables, taking one kid to ride the horse at a time and keep the rest of the kids entertained by either doing crafts or petting the chickens. After the lunch and the cake, kids still had a chance to play and take pictures with the rabbits, a mini horse or taking a walk with the goat.  All the children and adults had memorable moments and left with smiles on their faces.  The ranch only hosts parties a couple of times a month so you may want to book earlier than later. read more

My Girl Scout troop worked on their Horse Badge here and it was so amazing. Phil and Jen were and their daughter were so patient with my troop and all their questions and excitement over the horses. Even the horses were patient with all the brushing and attention paid to them. They even downloaded the badge requirements and made sure the girls learned all that they needed to in order to earn their badge. They all got to ride one very patient horse named Camero. Jen led them around and helped the girls feed the horses and goats and donkey. Really great place to visit. You will enjoy every minute. read more

If I could rate more stars I would! This place is awesome! My husband came across Springbrook Ranch on the internet and I am so glad he did! We celebrated my daughters 7-1/2 birthday party and it was an amazing experience! Phil and Jen were so nice and explained everything in detail and answered any questions I had before the event! Their children were so helpful! They offered to help unload/load stuff, decorate, and even help serve the kiddos during lunch! All the activities they had for the kids was so fun! One of the parents of the kids that attended texted me saying that her son said, "that was the best birthday party ever!" Such a great feeling to get feedback like that! Overall, I highly recommend Springbrook Ranch, it truly is an unforgettable experience and they have great customer service! Thanks again! read more

Thanks so much guys, the kids are still talking about it! read more

My child celebrated their birthday here recently with several 4 and 5 year old friends. I hadn't been to the ranch prior to booking so I was leaning heavily on the positive reviews. I'm pleased to say Springbrook Ranch is worthy of all the great reviews. The online booking was simple, venue information was shared to help plan what we needed to bring. Phil was very helpful walking me through the recommended schedule of activities and open to suggestions. The day of the event went very well - we had help setting up from a number of eager party staff. Horse rides, crafts, lunch + cake, and a petting zoo kept kids and parents occupied. The children were enamored with the different types of animals they interacted with. Parents were happy with the ease of the activities and friendliness of the owners and staff. I received so many compliments but I owe them all to Phil and Jen for putting on a fantastic event. Five stars, definitely recommend. I expect we will be back for kid camps in the near future. read more

This place is amazing! We had our 8 year old's birthday party here and it was absolutely perfect. The property is beautiful, and the entire family is so incredibly kind and welcoming. Phil was very responsive and helpful before the party, and from the moment we arrived, the whole team went above and beyond to help with set up, keep our girls entertained (until the party started) and make us feel welcome.

Wow! Best birthday party EVER for our 5 year old daughter! We wanted to find a unique spot that both kids and grown ups would enjoy. And we were so lucky to find Springbrook Branch online. Phil, Jen, and all of their team went above and beyond to make sure the party exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, their team was always responsive. Prior to the party, they even helped unload our cars with the food & supplies and set up the area. During the party they made sure to keep the kids occupied with fun activities! From pony rides and crafts, to animal interactions and games, Springbrook Ranch thought of everything! And the grown ups were able to relax and enjoy the party too, since the team had wonderful staff to coordinate all the details. Thank you for the most memorable and special birthday party experience! read more
