Pony Rides at Griffith Park

My favorite thing about the Griffith Park pony rides is that they have age appropriate ponies! I mean, if you are a big kid you can get a pony that trots you around an open raceway, and if you are, like, 3, you can go on the slow-walk-in-a-circle pony.  Because as much as 10 year olds might still like ponies, the walk in the circle gets old after a few years:)

All pony rides are only $3, and parking is free.  The ponies rest on Mondays.  This spot also has a really ghetto train ride around the grounds, which I hate but always have to go on with my kids.  They just love trains!

Here is the article from Red Tricycle: 

Griffith Park Pony RidesIf there’s one time-honored tradition LA is known for (besides Bikram knitting classes), it’s the Griffith Park pony rides. Little cowpokes ages 1 and up can choose from a variety of different rides depending on their comfort level. From a gentle pony sweep where you ride in a circle, slow ponies with an easy walking pace, medium ponies with a trot to big ponies that do more of a fast jog Richard Simmons style (minus the 80′s style spandex), there’s something for everyone. All rides are only $3 (cash only) and are available every day but Monday from 10:00 am – 4:30 pm.
