We live close to the McKee Ranch and have driven by it for years. We have never stopped by to check it out. One of my daughter's classmates had a Birthday party here. We were all excited because is was around Halloween and we could also see how the Birthday's were run. When we arrived the staff was friendly and had the birthday group get their hands stamped. We were let to the back of the place by the house. They had a setup with tables. They gave the kids buckets of carrots to feed Richard the Clydesdale horse. My daughter was anxious to feed the horse but kept getting scared. After a while she would just put the carrot on the fence and the horse would go to town. I have never seen a horse eat so many carrots. I would imagine he was a happy horse. The party also included pony rides. My daughter loves pony rides. They even had cowboy hats for the kids to wear while they rode. There were a lot of animals roaming around. They had a lot chickens just running all over the place. They also had a goat. The goat seemed to just go to the bathroom all the time. The party had food served where they rang a dinner bell. The overall experience was pretty fun.
There were a few things that I didn't care for. There was a lot of animal waste everywhere. I understand this is going to happen when you have a bunch of animals. The place seemed really busy almost chaotic at times. The owners had a hard time separated the Birthday party group from the rest of the crowd. To be honest if I just payed some cash to come in and saw a table of food I would go grazing too. They had to asking people if they were with the party. The horse stable was kind of funny too. They only had 2 horses that were friendly. The rest of signs said they bite. I understand this review is a little biased because I came to a Birthday party. If you want to have a birthday party here it's a whole lot of dude ranch fun. I probably wouldn't book it around Halloween. Cheers!
