Our Animals

Come Meet the Crew 🐾

Every animal at Marlboro Meadows has a name and a personality. From our unicorn pony Cosmo to our fluffy bunnies, our farm is full of real connections — not just a walk-through.


All animals are cared for on-site by our family. Kids get hands-on time: feeding, petting, and real farm moments that screens just can’t replicate.

Meet Cosmo — The Unicorn of Marlboro Meadows 🦄

Our Star Resident

The Only Real Unicorn Pony in Monmouth County

Cosmo is a genuine white mini pony — not a costume, not a prop. Dressed in a hand-decorated rainbow horn, glitter mane extensions, and shimmering hoof polish, Cosmo transforms your child’s birthday into a storybook moment they will never forget.

Every Unicorn Dream party begins with a private “unicorn moment” — just the birthday child and Cosmo, before the group arrives.

  • Rainbow horn & full glitter mane costume
  • 5-minute hand-led pony ride per child — included
  • Private birthday child unicorn meet & greet
  • Dedicated unicorn photo station
  • Guided handler narration — the full enchanted story
