Premium Animal Rental Rides. Made in the USA, and founded in 2011. In 2014, we began an industrious expansion and have since grown from a handful of locations to many dozens with hundreds of employees.

We are currently the largest unified operator for motorized animal rides, and build the sturdiest and most dependable animals on the market. Our animals, kiosk, and POS system are all of proprietary design.

Currently we are the sole operators of our product. While most of our riders come the malls to find us, we are beginning to expand into party and event venues.

Our Product: THOSE ANIMALS unique controller system allows for ease of use while our proprietary constant velocity and automatic reverse-polarity braking systems allow riders to navigate crowded areas safely. We create a positive experience for all mall patrons by setting a comfortable ‘mall walking’ speed for all rides. The wide wheelbase, all-terrain tires and heavy-duty steel frame construction of THOSE ANIMALS provide stability and durability for riders weighing 500 pounds or more.
