Head on out to Enchanted Springs Ranch (Exclusive coupon)

Enchanted Springs Ranch is an 86 acre ranch, where the buffalo roam. Seriously! The ranch is the home to a herd of buffalo, long horn and many exotic animals. You will be able to see these great creatures when you board the Conestoga wagon and are taken are a guided tour. 

But first, when you arrive at the ranch, you’ll drive up to the entrance of a 1800’s old west cow town.  A true replica of what a Texas old west town would have been like back in the day of cowboys/cowgirls and cattle drives. You’ll find everything there; trading posts, saloons (there are two! ), a hotel, jail etc. You can take a self guided tour and lots of fun photo opportunities are available. As you’re strolling along, you’ll see cowboys and other folk living life as it was still the 1800’s. 

The old west town and ranch was originally used for on location filming of movies and video. It is still a sought after location and when you visit, ask any of the staff to tell you about some of the famous entertainers and performers who have been filmed at the ranch. 

For entertainment, a puppet show is available for the younger ones and children can sit on Woodrow the Longhorn and get their picture taken. Doc Dakota will perform his medicine show where you can join in for the rain dance. A Wild West show, featuring Pistol Packin’ Paula, is a family hit! Paula is a two time world champion gun twirler and only female who has won this title! Paula’s message for children inspires them to follow their dreams.

Bring the whole family this summer to Enchanted Springs Ranch, rated by Oprah, as one of the best Wacky Family Attractions!
