The Miniature Pony Centre is ready and waiting to see you all again this summer! With 15 free activities available during your visit plus lots of pony cuddles, you and your family will be spoilt for choice.
Enjoy lots of beautiful Dartmoor space
With rising cases of COVID-19 in Devon, you might be looking for somewhere that offers plenty of outdoor space and with good hygiene measures in place. The Miniature Pony Centre is a perfect place to visit.
We have lots of open spaces, with our stunning lakes and nature trail, our welcoming pony paddock where our herd and this year’s foals are waiting to meet you, outdoor play equipment including trampolines and lots of hand washing facilities around the site.
Family friendly activities
Head along to one of our family friendly activities where you can learn about our heavy horses or mammoth donkeys. Enjoy some relaxing pony grooming, meet our podgy micro piggies, or even walk a pony! We have plenty of activities which are great for all the family and perfect for lots of pictures.
Don’t miss our very own unicorn story time and pony herding at the end of the day. You will love them.
Holiday treats
Our café is serving its extended holiday menu this summer, from delicious locally made beef burgers to nachos as well as our usual paninis, sandwiches, and jacket potatoes all on offer. We serve yummy Langage ice cream and even sell unicorn ice creams. Our lunch menu is served from 11.30 until 3pm everyday and coffee, ice cream, milkshakes and cakes are available all day.
Pony cuddles & Unicorn magic
Nobody does pony cuddles like we do at the Miniature Pony Centre! Our friendly, calm and utterly adorable ponies and miniature donkeys love a good cuddle and enjoy making lots of friends. Our 4 beautiful foals are now in the front paddock and love meeting all our visitors. Please make sure you listen to the instructions from the staff and always respect the ponies.
Unicorns do exist and yes, they are on Dartmoor! Meet our sparkly unicorns everyday we are open. They can be found in their rainbow stables, and we even have a meet and greet session with them too.
The Miniature Pony Centre is open everyday until the end of October (hopefully) and you can visit us all day if you wish. There are no time slots or half day sessions. We offer up to 15 free activities plus we have children’s entertainers on certain days throughout the school holidays.
