| - Call ahead. Good to show early. Find out when the events are all working, the train ride for the kids. It's not every day.
To get there: Take Charleston Bl, West, past the Red Rock Canyon sign. Beautiful views all the way to Bonnie Springs Ranch sign. It's on your right coming from Summerlin or the strip.
Been there several times. Kids love the place. Peacocks walking around. Huge turtles - 100's of them, free to see animals. Pony Rides also. Serve a nice breakfast, get there early. Good pancakes, eggs, bacon, the works. Clean! Has that Old West feeling. Interesting photos to take in the restaurant. Many couples come minus the kids. Nice bar. Probably a fun place on weekend nights. Have to try it. Ride would prove spooky at night. Came on a motorcycle once, many motorcyclist show up from time to time, special parking. Fun ride. Views spectacular. Place sits at the foot of the Red Rocks. (Who with a Bike doesn't take the evening ride into the Red Rocks when you can?)
I am provoked to write this review by a remarkable young lady who works with the animals. Her name is Megan (so many spellings I hope I picked right.) Yes, to meet Megan you have to pay a little extra so you can enter the zoo portion of the park. Again, kids love it. Well, worth it. Real goats, donkeys, sheep, so many animals to name, that are walking around like they own the place. Bring quarters! You buy them food and hand feed them. If you don't have any friends, you'll make one here.
Also, have many animals that you can feed over or through their fenced-in areas. Beautiful miniature white horse, I mean, unicorn beautiful, and many exotic animals.
Okay, Megan, sweet Megan, always wanted to work with animals and sees this in her future. Turns out she's from New Jersey. They have wolves - yeh, that's right, Lycans. Look like very huge dogs, but no they're Wolves and they look at you like they know you're not. Megan from Jersey walks into their rather large fenced off area with large portions of meat to feed them. Something many would hesitate to do. (Imagine call for times.) After hand delivery their food, she takes that moment to fade away and leave. It was adorable to watch hungry wolves torn between - running back and forth - having to choose from eating their dinner or playing with Megan. Like true Lycans they love people from New Jersey. One started howling when she finally left the cordoned-off area. Megan took the time to talk about the animals. She made the visit that much better. She really knows her animals. Thanks Megan!
