Winter Fun

Head over to the Ranch in the winter to ice skate, snow tube on the 500-foot long timber chute—ski or go for a horsedrawn sleigh ride. And of course you can always take a trail ride through the (sometimes) snowy woods. Unlimited rides are included in the price. Delight in the 50,000 blue lights that cover the pine trees all winter long.

Once back inside play laser tag, watch a show and check out the Big Splash Indoor Water Park, including the Gold Rush flume. The Eldorado Hot Springs features multiple therapy
jets and built-in seating.

Summer Fun

During the summer guests can enjoy water sports on its own private lake, tubing on the Northeast’s longest mountain tubing adventure and bungee jumping to heights of 25 feet. The many miles of riding trails are open all year round, with unlimited horseback riding available. Plus, they have indoor and outdoor pools for maximum fun. Nightly entertainment is included with everything from comedians to jugglers. It is true family fun that isn’t worth missing.

All Year Long
