Parents who want to give their children the experience of interacting with animals in a safe and controlled environment will often choose to take them to a petting zoo. Petting zoos will usually feature a combination of domestic animals and some wild species, such as goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, some reptiles, and miniature ponies, that are small and docile enough to touch, feed, and interact with. People who want to feed the animals will often purchase food from the zoo that is safe for the animals to eat. Many large general zoos will contain a small petting zoo. Some companies will have mobile petting zoos available for rent for children's birthday parties and other events.

When deciding how to choose the best petting zoo for you and your children, contact a few different ice cream stands, parks, farms, fairgrounds, travel zoos, and mobile zoos for hours, location, price for food, attractions, animals such as lamas and sheep, age limits for pony and mule rides, and health and safety precautions such as locking gates and hand sanitizer. If you’re interested in holding your kid’s birthday party there, inquire about treasure hunts, games, and food. Find out what exotic animals are available for viewing such as lamas and peacocks, and find out if pony rides will be offered at an additional cost. If you’re a tourist visiting a certain area, go online beforehand to find out which petting zoos are operating while you’re on vacation. Print out hours, directions, and location before heading on your trip so you’ll have the information at the ready. Petting zoos are ideal entertainment outlets for children, as they allow kids to get up close and personal with the animals. Go online to research petting zoos and what they involved. Call each zoo before going so you can get all the information up front, such as prices, age restrictions, animals, food, family events, pony rides, party information, and hours. It’s always best to be prepared so your kids won’t be disappointed if, say, you get there too late to feed the animals. Before taking part in a petting zoo, make sure you read all safety warnings, and be sure your child is at an appropriate age to participate.
