We decided to come here for my mothers birthday and it was a blast. It was a 30 minute ride, but in those 30 mins we got to experience a lot. Everyone had a great time

This place was fun! If there is a wait its because its worth it.The horses were friendly and well trained. The staff are very professional and really keep up a good pace while still being courteous.If you go ask for Loren, her experience on a horse and easy going nature definitely put my partner at ease.P.s Also Im pretty sure she controls the weather if she likes you. The sun went away at the perfect time.

My boyfriend and I were the first to sign up and waited over an hour for the horses to take a break. Which wasnt really the case. There were at least 10 more people that signed up in that hour and it wouldve been nice to have an ETA and we couldve walked around & explored during that time. It is worth it to spend twice as much at a place that has more water for all of the horses, reservations, no cars or people everywhere, etc. I didnt see my boyfriend the entire time. My horse kept stopping to eat grass and seemed unhappy. I dont blame him, I would much rather go to a small ranch where they love the horses. Also they have 2 CHILDREN working there. They were around 10-12. We didnt even get pictures because it seemed like the experience was more about getting our money & getting us out. The overall experience was nerve racking and not worth it.

Not the best day for Guided rides. Not much said as we rode, other than Need yall to stay to this side, you should have had them fix your stirrup before we left, and dont hold your reins that way. I finally asked the guide to hold up for a minute because the saddle was sliding off my wifes fat mare and got off my mule, adjusted her saddle and stirrup and got back on..Did the 1 hour trip this time last year and it was great.Maybe just a bad night before for our guide this year.

Very friendly place. Definitely the Fort Worth experience. Be prepared to walk a lot. Some uneven brick paths could be a little tricky for those with wheelchairs or walkers. Petting zoo, mechanical bull ride, historical tours, shops & restaurants. Traffic & parking ($7-$10) can be tricky. Cattle drive down the street each day at 11:30 & 4. Family friendly.

We had been waiting all week to ride horses and finally made it out to the Stockyards (amidst all the Covid-19). To say we were disappointed is an understatement. You pay for a 10min ride, but end up with a 5 min ride. The worst is when you say ask that they honor the 10 min and receive rude and unprofessional customer service. Lauren who was assisting kids on and off the horses appeared frustrated that the young children didn’t know how to ride a horse. I asked or informed Lauren that it had not been 10 minutes and she responded with a terribly rude attitude. It was such a disappointment and the experience was less than what I would expect from an establishment. I felt awful for my kids who had been looking forward to the experience for some time. I believe that if you are in the industry providing experiences, then the level of customer service, should far exceed what was provided.

For tourists and new residents. Its great to see the expression of peoplecwho have never been to that area of Fort Worth. Fun. A trip back in time. Great places to eat, shop, and buy some real cowboy boots. Oh beware it does smell like cattle. And dont forget to check out the cattle drive.

I hadnt been on a horse in 45 yrs. Everytime we visited the Stockyards, I would say.. we should take a ride.Well for my 51st bday, thats what I did.Grace, our guide was awsome. She took the time to let us meet our horses, and give us a refresher course. We took the 30 min ride and I had the best time. I definitely will be going again.I

It was a decent experience. Our horses were fine, our wrangler how ever is another thing. We paid for an hour, and only ride for 35/40 minutes. We got on the horses at 1:40 and we returned at 2:15. Our wrangler didn’t talk much other. Not sure if I want to do this again

Great time with the family watching the cattle run. I believe the times are 11am and 4pm if you want to catch the cattle runs with these beautiful group of steer coming through the stockyard.Great food and entertainment all around you. You can even walk through were the horses and cattle are houses to get a closer look. But dont get too close. LolAll in all a great place for the family to visit even if you are from out of town.

Very nice place to expend the day with family.

Review №25

Its fun to go see peoples horses....HOWEVER, Please remember that these are peoples animals and they have to pay good money to keep a stable here.You mustnt let your child run all over the place, you or your child should not get too close to the stables. Be respectful of the owner of that animal.Think of it like this: you wouldnt walk up to a huge dog and just reach down to pet its face. You would make sure hes ok to pet first. Its the same respect for these horses.

Review №28

This is a great place to take the family and walk around. There is lots of shopping, good food , and you even get to watch a cattle drive. They have cowboys who were the original outfits and you can even take a picture with them. There are long horns you can sit on and take a picture with for a small fee. This is just a fun place to spend a day.

Awesome place to just sight see. We were just driving around didnt stop or go in anywhere. Seen the Lonesome Dove restaurant, which is iconic, but caught on fire a few months back. Dont know if it is open back up.

Zero Stars for the horseback riding establishment: Bucked by a horse not even 10 minutes into the ride. Needless to say, my party of 3 ended our ride at this juncture to go to the ER. I was not offered a refund. When I requested one they would only refund the person thrown from the horse rather than refund us for the experience as a whole. I was not offered a helmet and am lucky I landed on the grass. Worker commented the horse would be spanked and ridden hard. I requested there be no ill will towards the animal. The horse seemed unhappy, tired, and hungry. The owner was present and did not come over to speak to me or even ask if I was OK; a very poor response to an unfortunate experience.

Review №33

Definitely a must-see. The cattle drive is awesome but has downsized a lot. The gun show is cool but I also noticed it isnt near what it used to be. The parking used to be free but I noticed each day it literally gets more and more costly.

Been living in Texas since 95 and never visited. Definite place to take family and out of town relatives, ensure you time it right to see the cattle drive.

Review №46

Came to look at the petting zoo but it was closed. Ate at Riskys bbq. The meat was fatty and tough. The server was complaining with co workers about other co workers. Took a carriage ride. My driver raved about how great Trump was. Not a good thing to talk about on a ride especially when you dont know the other person.

Cattle drive gives you a sense of how it was then. They have a rodeo every weekend. Most bars have a local band and they are all very good. This is a must visit place when you are in Texas.

Ja
Review №50

HUGE! This place has a very small bull riding event that happens inside. I lost count of how many bars there are. Theres a stage, then a stage behind the stage, a restaurant, and a store. They could rethink the bathroom situation, but still a whole lotta fun!

Review №57

I brought my daughter for her birthday and was not happy with the service at all. The lady that took us on the trail ride was on her phone almost the entire time. She kept stopping to text and look at her phone and even made a phone call at one point. This kept causing my horse to practically run into hers each time. I was concerned because theyre live animals and I felt, for safety reasons, she shouldve been watching us more closely. The owner was not there so I called when I got home and explained that I wasnt happy with the experience and what happened. I expected her to at least apologize and possibly offer to give me a discount on a future ride or something to compensate me for the situation but she didnt. Instead, she defended the employee and offered nothing. I have 4 more girls that I was planning on bringing next month but I will not be coming back.
