Lakewood Equestrian Center
📍 Lakewood, CA
Hands-on horse experiences for all ages including trail rides, grooming sessions, and pony rides beside a farm animal petting zoo. Birthday party packages available with dedicated staff.
My son just did a trail ride and grooming with Lucas (booked in advance, paid day-of - $35). He was an amazing guide. He was very attentive to my son who loved his ride on Dallas. Dallas was a very calm horse, perfect for my son who fed Dallas carrots and brushed his beautiful hair. Then, Lucas led us all down a trail for a few minutes. Lucas was patient, kind, engaged my son in conversation, answered all our curious questions, and made us feel welcome. We had a great time! Thank you!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with horse-curious kids of any age. Trail rides suit children confident around animals, pony rides work for toddlers, and the petting zoo keeps all ages engaged. Birthday parties here consistently earn praise for attentive, knowledgeable staff. Bring water and sun protection — shade is sparse across the grounds.

“I visit this place on 2019-2020. I went back this summer 2025. I like the place but needs maintenance. I wanted only the pony ride for my child. Before, it was in $5 dlls... This summer, I paid $20+ for 1 adult and 1 child, only one pony ride. They need more shadows.... best entertainment for our children. Clean the place.”

“Good experience. Lots of farm animals. However. Some Horses are neglected. No food. Green water. They were seeking attention, but we were told they are aggressive.”
