Pony riding in Lower Austria

Pony riding is one of the absolute highlights at the Gänserndorf adventure park. On the backs of our ponies Flash and Zorro, the little ones get to experience animal encounters in a completely new way. Our friendly ponies are the perfect companions for their first experiences with riding.

• From 3 years
• Up to 10 years of age and up to a maximum of 45 kg
• From 11am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm

For the well-being of our animals, we allow sufficient breaks.

Petting zoo for little animal lovers

Care, empathy and a sense of responsibility - children learn so much from their encounters with animals. In our Lower Austrian petting zoo, the little ones have the unique opportunity to pet tame goats, sheep and chickens or watch hares, rabbits and ducks. A unique experience!

• No age restriction
• Photos allowed
• Goats, sheep and chickens can be petted
• Hares, rabbits and ducks have a fenced area in the petting zoo and may only be observed

Please make sure that the animals are not chased or thrown with objects when the little ones are in a "love frenzy". Thank you. We ask that you only feed them special pet food that you have bought from us. Do not feed them sweets or other foods.
