5 Stars. I've known Zia Park for over 10 years. Horses are given the best of care, fantastic staff and loads of options for children and adults. Highly recommend.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with horse-loving children aged 6 and up who want a genuine trail ride rather than a confined arena experience. The combination of Perth Hills scenery, kangaroo sightings and patient guides creates a standout outing for first-time riders.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Book trail rides in advance β€” the property is popular and guide availability is sparse
⏰Mention children ages and riding experience when booking so the right horses are allocated
🎟️Wet weather rides are possible β€” contact the centre if conditions are uncertain rather than assuming cancellation
πŸš—Kangaroo sightings are common on trail routes as they are not guaranteed β€” treat them as a bonus

β€œI went on a Trail Ride with some of my friends at Zia Park and it was one incredible experience! It was wet weather the day we had our ride and we were given the option to postpone to a different day if we weren't comfortable with the weather conditions but we chose to ride in the rain and it was one magical experience. The trail itself was beautiful, the staff are all super lovely and knowledgeable and the horses we were lucky enough to interact with were just beautiful.”
