About Bonza Amusements
Trading as both Bonza Amusements and Bonza Pony & Amusement Hire, the business has been taking ponies, animals and rides to children's events since 1990. It is based in Sydney and comes up to the Blue Mountains for backyard birthdays, school days, markets and community events in Katoomba, Leura, Springwood, Glenbrook and Blaxland. Setup, running and pack-down are all handled by its own team. Ponies are the heart of the business. A booking starts at two ponies and their handlers for 90 minutes and goes up to four ponies across four hours, and for a unicorn party the ponies are dressed up for a two-hour visit. Animal lovers can also book the mobile petting zoo, sized as a small farm for short parties or a large farm for longer days. Rides cover a trackless train, spinning teacups, a mini carousel seating five riders between two and nine years old, a mini fire engine with room for fifteen and a set of small swing chairs. Every attraction can be hired alone or bundled into a custom package. Events in the Mountains take a little more planning for access and weather, so a level, sheltered spot is strongly advised. The ponies and train need clear flat ground, the carousel and teacups take up about five metres by five, and the vehicle and trailer need somewhere to park. Every handler holds an NSW Working With Children Check, the animals get regular health checks, and public liability insurance is in place.
