This was one of the better gift shops in town that we were able to go into. It included more horse memorabilia and detail than anywhere else. There also were ponies in the pen out front. If you are looking to do any shopping, you should come by here.

My kids have gone horse back riding a couple times and taken pony rides at carnivals, but this was the first time they got a real lesson. I think they really enjoyed it and learned a lot during their time here. My son has high functioning autism (but I didn't tell the instructor - since I didn't think it was... More

The Pony Centre is a great place to visit to see ponies up close and personal. It is kind of difficult to find ponies on the island on their own so this is an easier way to find them. In the front of the centre is a large gated area with about 15 ponies. You are allowed to go up... More

Go in the evening - there is very little to see beyond the pony show. We enjoyed reading the Misty novel and watching the movie prior to our trip. The arena had a small collection of Misty memorabilia that we browsed around. The show consisted of the introduction of many of their ponies ridden by (mostly) young girls that are... More

Our 11-year-old would have lived here for our entire 3-day stay if it were possible. This is a MUST for anyone visiting the island because of Misty of Chincoteage.

We took our 2 year old grand daughter here. She loved all of the pony souvenirs. She also rode a pony. We all had a great time watching her do that. This is a great place to take kids. We saw other children enjoying it as well. They have pony shows also, we didn't get to see that. I would... More

Saw a couple of tired looking poinies outside and inside was just a gift shop selling the same old stuff every resort gift shop sells. Would have like to have seen the museum, but it looked like just a bunch of pictures on the wall and charged an admission fee that seemed high.
