| - We had a great time at MacDonalds Ranch!
I was looking for something fun and specific to the area to do with my husband and my in-laws while we were in Scottsdale, and while there's plenty of fun things to do, I was somewhat limited because my in-laws aren't quite as adventurous as my husband and I, so when I found this deal on Groupon I immediately contacted the ranch via email to ask some questions. They replied promptly and were very informative - that was extremely appreciated! I concern was that many of the reviews were regarding families with kids, or for a different season, so I wanted to make sure this would be fun for 4 adults as well.. if you're wondering the same thing, I'll save you some time and just tell you that it was perfect for us! I purchased the 90 minute ride for 4 people (less than $150!), there were 2 other adults in our group (there may be up to 10 people) and we had a really good time! The ride was easy, so it's perfect for beginners. My mother in law is not comfortable around animals (not something you usually want to find out AFTER the fact, but oh well haha!) and she did great! Her horse was gentle and they tail-to-nose the entire time, at a slow, easy pace. Truthfully, if you have a lot of experience riding, this may not be your choice activity, as it is a "perfect for beginners and kids" activity.. so just keep that in mind! The guides were really friendly and very eager to answer any and all questions we had throughout the entire ride. There was a guide in the front and a guide in the back, to make sure nobody gets too far behind. During our ride we saw a coyote which I thought was awesome! We chose the sunset ride (end of June) so it was really very beautiful and peaceful. Another thing I really appreciated was that after we were all saddled up, they took one of our phones and took a couple pictures of us on our horses, and then took pictures of us riding which were available for purchase ($10 per photo), and we purchased all of them! It was a really great keepsake that wasn't over priced!
This was our first time partaking in anything like this, so while I don't have anything to compare it to, I can tell you that I can't imagine how it could get too much better.. and all the locals we spoke to about it agreed that MacDonalds Ranch is a great place to visit! I highly suggest going - fun for all ages and a great time!
