Plucky Palomino Petting Zoo

We worked with Lulu for a recent mobile petting zoo "bunny bash" birthday and it was fantastic. Lulu made booking easy and arrived with herself and two helpers who made the party a wonderful experience. The face painting add-on made it the perfect party for 20 six-year old girls and their families and it was something very sweet and different from the bouncy house norm. I'm already thinking about when I can hire them again for a school event or fundraiser.

We have had the pleasure of hosting Plucky Palomino Petting Zoo at our property on three separate occasions, and each experience has been fantastic. Our events have ranged from 200 to over 3,000 participants, and even with a variety of activities to entertain our guests, the petting zoo is always a major hit. We also took advantage of their face painting add-on once, which was a wonderful bonus. Every time, their staff has been extremely friendly, punctual, and professional, handling everything with grace and ease. It's very clear that the animals are well-loved and that their needs come first, which we truly appreciate. As an added bonus, depending on the time of year, you might even be lucky enough to have some adorable baby animals join the petting zoo experience. We are so grateful for our partnership with Plucky Palomino and are looking forward to many more collaborations at future events! Highly recommend!

We had so much fun at Plucky Palomino yesterday. I’m always looking for animal encounter experiences for me and my daughter who’s now 8. We find it so therapeutic. It’s clear that the goats, sheep, rabbits, ponies, chickens, alpacas, pig, geese and dog are all well loved and cared for. During our one hour time slot (perfect amount of time) we sat in a comfortable covered area where a friendly and knowledgeable staff member told us what to expect before visiting the animals. Once we went in, the space was clean and had a lot of room for everyone (there were four adults and three kids) and they gave us as much food as we wanted to feed the animals through the fence. The fences were plenty big to get good pets in. They let the pig and one goat out of the pen (the chickens roamed free) as they wanted to be very cautious of the animals not knocking over small children. They let us pet the rabbits and brush the pig in the smaller enclosure. The staff member clearly enjoyed her role and was happy to answer all of our questions and take photos while re-filling our food cups. Overall it was well worth the price for a relaxing visit from Seattle to North Bend. Can’t wait to sign up for the goat walk in a couple of weeks!

Animals were cute, and while it was lovely to mingle with them, I wish I had shopped around for other petting zoo experiences. It's definitely not worth the price - $25 per adult and $15 per child. The little produce market in the same building was lackluster, so there's really not much to do while you wait for your turn to pet the animals. There is, however, a little trail worth exploring nearby.

We did the pig bottle feeding, overall a good experience but they only had two pigs for a group of maybe 15? They let in some lambs and a bunny but it definitely wasn't enough, especially once the pigs got snuggly, you felt like you had to pass them on and share which for $25 a person felt like you should have gotten your own pig. The petting zoo was extra and not open, which felt a little stingy given the limited pigs.
