The kids all got to pet and love on the ponies, "help" clean the pony stall (pretty sure this was my 2 year old's favorite part), and then ride the ponies around the paddock. We loved it so much we ended up hosting my kids' birthday party here about 2 months later. It was such a hit with everyone that was able to make it. They had a beautiful patio area (with great shade from the heat) set up for us. It made set-up on my part incredibly easy. The kids got to ride Ricky around with Cowboy Justus leading them. He was so great to all the kids, and they had so much fun. Miss D was so helpful (and the absolute sweetest) with everything, and the kids really enjoyed following her around to feed the goats and chickens. The animals all were very kind and gentle with the kids, and seem very well socialized. Clean-up was so easy. 10/10 would go again.

We decided to go for a ride after visiting the nearby Zoo Sanctuary…read more The cost was $5 per person, payable by cash or card (with a $1 processing fee). The ride was around 5 minutes long. The views are of the park, adjacent street, back of the zoo fencing, & a parking lot. You can enjoy areas of nature in the park. The ride is smooth & uneventful. You don't pass by anything specific to a train experience or go under or through anything. There is a loose, thin cloth that covers the wooden seat. Although there's signage that the conductor can assist with boarding if needed, I imagine accessibility issues for some. To get into the seats in the section we found available required having to climb over the edge into the car, which had no door. I'm petite & it wasn't the easiest with my legs. However, in other posted photos, it seems a few seats in the front of the train have cutouts to walk into to make boarding easier. It's a cute experience for little ones to enjoy.

Took my son here, and it was a huge hit. From the moment we arrived, he was excited just seeing the…read moretrain, and once we got on, he was completely hooked. The ride itself is the perfect length, long enough to feel like a real adventure but short enough to keep a little kid engaged the whole time. The train is well kept with that classic old-school charm, and the route is scenic and relaxing. My son had a blast waving at everyone as we passed by, and honestly, I had just as much fun watching him light up with excitement. The staff was friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly. It is clear they care about making it a great experience for families. The whole thing felt well organized, and we did not have to wait long to board. If you have young kids and are looking for something fun to do in Folsom, this is a solid choice. Simple, affordable, and a guaranteed way to make some great memories. We will definitely be back.

Consistently every time I come here, customer service always sucks…read more This time around, I went here for a birthday party. I was in the party line and the membership line was empty. There was a staff member standing there for about five minutes in her empty line. Finally, she calls me over and asked if she can help check me in for their party. She checks me in like normal, and as soon as she gives my child, a wristband and socks, she leaves and walks away. I was standing there confused. She didn't tell us which room to go to nor did she say that the check in has been completed. I asked the other cashier to direct me to the correct party and she was able to give me that information. Of course, my kids love jumping, and the mini playground that they have here. On top of trying to make it to a timed party, there is no doubt that finding parking in the parking lot can take about five minutes. The lack of parking is frustrating to say the least. As far as customer service, I'd have to give it a solid two out of five.

Both of my kids (ages 10 and 12) had an absolute blast. A few highlights from our visit: * Awesome Staff: The team members were incredibly patient, welcoming, and took the time to show the kids the right way to interact with the animals safely. * Clear Signage: The instructions posted throughout the facility were super clear, so matching up the right food with each animal was seamless. * Time-Saving Tip: I highly recommend buying your admission tickets, tokens, and completing the online waiver before you arrive. Highly recommended for families looking for a fun local excursion!

Park at the far end from the lot entrance to be situated closer to the Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is small, but clean, organized, & packed with lots of facts & information. Some areas offered hands-on experiences. They also had coloring sheets for kids. Giant fish heads offer a listening experience teaching about the Chinook Salmon & Steelhead Trout. We enjoyed wandering around. Restrooms are available & were maintained. Just watch out for some spiders on the ceiling above. We went out to the hatchery early enough to get to scoop up some free fish food by the gate with available containers. It ran out while we were still there. It was a very cool experience to see the fish go into a feeding frenzy! Do keep the gate closed, which is posted on a sign. Some people weren't being attentive. There are observation points & a lovely trail to walk along the river with some informative signs here & there. It was so pleasant to take in the pretty, peaceful scenery & watch birds. We hope to return to see more action with the salmon & trout from November to February. Do check their website for up-to-date visitor information as they close the facility to the public after Memorial Day until Labor Day & times may be subject to change.

Fun place for a weekend family outing!…read more Great for kids, and plenty of open space, parking, and fresh air to run around and let the kiddos explore. They host plenty of family friendly educational events, including tot-time story time every month. Plenty of school outings/field trips come here, but they are open to the regular public to explore and observe. They are attached to the American River Hatchery, which has plenty of spawning pens where you can closely observe the fish and occasionally feed them (until the food runs out). Highly recommended!

Admission was $10 for anyone over age 2. No paper maps are available, but there is a map on display by the entrance that you can snap a photo of. There are elevation changes & paths to different sections, but it's a fairly easy stroll & not very big. A lot of trees provide shade & there are some benches. We saw bears, roaming peacocks, a coyote, zebu, raccoons, macaques, bobcats, many kinds of birds, donkey, horses, & more. Getting a good look at some of the animals was hit or miss. Signage gives information & facts about the animals, stories of how they came to the Sanctuary, & their names. A small gift shop is onsite with a variety of items. The staff we interacted with were friendly & helpful.

What makes this zoo unique is its collection of rescued wild and domestic animals that you may not typically encounter at larger commercial zoos. It's both educational and enjoyable, making it a great destination for animal lovers of all ages. If you're looking for a relaxing way to spend the morning before heading to brunch, this is an excellent stop. Both kids and adults will find plenty to enjoy, and you might even learn something new along the way. As an added bonus, the public library is located right next door, making it easy to turn your visit into a quiet, family-friendly outing. Overall, it's a peaceful and enjoyable attraction that's well worth a visit when you're in Folsom.
