Ricochet Canyon @ Gardner Village

Went to Ricochet Canyon at Gardner Village. It used to be only a seasonal thing, but now it's open year round! It was a nice little place to take small children for a fun outing. It's entirely enclosed, so you don't have to worry about littles wandering. We took 3 little kids (ages 3, 6 and 8) and they loved it. Favorites included the little roller-coaster and the pony ride. There were picnic benches with shade umbrellas (which was nice since it was a hot day). It's next to all the shops and events center. Parking immediately outside the park. Admission and petting zoo are free (but you can buy a cup of feed to give the animals). You can buy individual ride tickets or stamp passes (see photo). The employees were very friendly and attentive. (Review written July 23, 2024)

Such a cool place! It’s a fun getaway excursion in the middle of the city! The family can experience petting some animals, pony rides (the short or long version 😉) a rollercoaster, and train rides in the old west. You can practice your roping skills and have the kids explore a little old west town and get out some energy. There’s the Happy Camper deli nearby just a walk away in Gardner village that has some delicious items for lunch and bakery goods. We love it here and that some of the staff are younger kids that are caring for the animals and putting in hard work. The ponies are our favorite!!

We hired the petting zoo to come to our family reunion! They came to the park we were at and it was so great! The kids (and adults) loved playing with all the animals. Baby chicks, a pony, a goat, a bunny and even a baby cow! Such a fun day!

We used the offsite services and had them bring a unicorn to my daughter’s 6th birthday party and it was amazing!!! If you don’t have a friend with horses willing to dress up, this is the next best thing. The price and service can’t be beat. Larissa has a love for animals and people that’s bright and uplifting. She not only helped keep the kids occupied but safe. If you have a kids that loves unicorns, I highly recommend ricochet canyon to make their birthday a blast!

They have done a phenomenal job and have made it so fun for the family to come and visit, play with the animals, ride the fun rides, and just enjoy the overall atmosphere of an old Western town. The staff are always so sweet and nice and incredibly knowledgeable and so very loving to their animals. I highly recommend coming here and spending a few hours with the family. They also take donations to help feed the animals and cover any medical expenses they need so please don't hesitate to donate.
