It is not suitable for a date as it inevitably smells of animals.

“Comfort” Rating: 2 /5 points
The smell is a bit annoying, but other than that there are no other inconveniences.
“Length of fun time” Rating: 2 /5 points
Because it’s cramped, you’ll probably only stay for about 30 minutes at most.
“Price range” Rating: 5 /5 points
It’s free, but you’ll need to bring your own carrots to feed the ponies (limited time and date).
“Suitable for rainy days” Rating: 1 /5 points
Rain gear is required as it is outdoors.
“Night-friendly” Rating: 4 /5 points
No entry at night.
“Uniqueness” Rating: 4 /5 points
We think this is the only place in the city where you can interact with medium-sized animals for free.
