Great first experience! We came to check the pumpkin patch and the set-ups were beautiful perfect for take some photos with our baba.
The stuff is very welcoming and friendly. The tractor train is fun to go around with!
Easy access and easy-going place
We will be back
Great place to go if you like history. Not stroller friendly and there is a lot of walking, as the property is spread out. Great re-enactments and hands on experience. Great place for field trips.
Worth the $! Plan to spend the day, there is a lot to see and learn. We packed a picnic lunch and sat under some trees to eat. Bring water, wear a hat. There is s tram which is really nice. The historians who work here are excellent!
Good place to learn and understand first colony history of Texas. The guides have good knowledge about those early families that populate the area and how their wealth evolve through generations. A good place to walk, or take the tram to the historical houses.
On Saturday, Oct 21, we took a big group to the festival & we had such a great time! The falconry was my favorite! I loved seeing all the different birds & learning about them. All the reenactments were fantastic! The staff at George Ranch is very nice & knowledgeable. Looking forward to next year!
Love this place!! We especially enjoyed talking with the man at the cabin. I never enjoyed history like I did today. He and his daughter were both very personable and willing to share their knowledge! This was the highlight of our vacation. The cowboy show, dipping vat and tours of the houses were fantastic!
BEST. WEDDING. VENUE. Chris and David are LITERAL angels to work with and made my husband’s and my Big Day so memorable and so special. David was so responsive to every (I mean, every) question I had as we coordinated all the wedding things, and he very much put me at ease in knowing all the details were being handled. Chris was also SO hospitable and helpful with all things logistics. The venue is absolutely gorgeous—our guests raved about how it was the most aesthetic wedding they’ve been to in a while, and how the chapel and hall really felt like a “Texas wedding”. The vendors recommended by David were outstanding, food was incredible, literally cannot go on enough about this dynamic duo and all their work they put in to ensure a wonderful time.
From the bottom of our hearts, Maciej and I thank you both, David and Chris! And we will always, always, hold George Ranch in a special place in our hearts!
I came here as part of a school field trip. We spent about 3 hours there and to be honest, that's not at all enough time to see everything. The place has a lot of history and if that interests you, try to spend a day here. They have guides who are knowledgeable and friendly. There's a lot of walking to do in an open ranch setting so come prepared with comfortable footwear and clothing suited for the elements. They have a gift shop with some interesting gifts. Never saw a food court or cafeteria, so bring your own food.
