Montebello Barnyard Zoo

Montebello, California

Description

Montebello Barnyard Zoo, located at 600 Rea Dr in South Montebello, CA 90640, is a compact petting zoo offering hands-on animal experiences perfect for toddlers and young children. Visitors can feed goats, donkeys, and other farm animals through fences, enjoy pony rides, hop on a John Deere tractor train, or spin on the merry-go-round for additional fees. The zoo sits adjacent to Grant Rea Park with playgrounds and picnic areas, making it easy to extend your visit beyond the 30-45 minute barnyard experience. While some guests find the pricing a bit steep when adding rides and animal feed to admission costs, many appreciate the friendly staff, clean facilities, and convenient location for a quick family outing. It's also available for children's birthday parties with packages accommodating groups of various sizes.-

Montebello Barnyard Zoo
What Stands Out
Perfect size for toddlers
? The compact layout keeps little ones engaged for about 30
45 minutes without overwhelming them, and the adjacent park offers extra play options
Interactive feeding experience
? Guests can purchase bags of feed to give goats, donkeys, sheep, and other animals, though most feeding happens through fences for safety
Multiple activity options
? Beyond the petting zoo, families can add pony rides, a John Deere tractor train, and a merry
Round for additional entertainment
Party hosting available
? The venue offers birthday party packages for groups ranging from 40 to 100 guests with dedicated space
Pricing adds up quickly
? While base admission runs around $9
$11 per person, animal feed ($2
$3), pony rides ($10
$12), and other attractions can push costs higher, though Groupon deals help
