Activities at Wildcatter Ranch & Resort
Saddle Up for Adventure and Unleash Your Wild Side
Wildcatter Activities Information:
FAMILIES
The nature of our activities and property lends itself to vacations for groups with kids over 10 so they can enjoy the trail rides.
Between 3-10 years old, kids can enjoy pony rides, feeding the longhorns at 9 am, jeep ride, horse grooming, the pool and hot tub, and hiking our many trails and enjoying the boulders and nature. Wildcatter is about slowing down and just being outside.
Pick up our scat-scavenger hunt at the front desk! Kids enjoy hunting and learning on the trails, and then they get free ice cream at dinner with a completed booklet.
WRANGLERS & GRATUITY
The cowboys and cowgirls helping you experience Wildcatter with our activities are full-time locals. We do not employ seasonal, non-locals. These are real Texans who live and work near by and can’t wait to show you what we’re all about! Due to the unpredictable nature of busy and slow days at the resort, an automatic 20% gratuity is added to each activity. Gratuity goes straight to the Wranglers.
Dust off your boots and unleash your inner cowboy!
*6.75 % Sales Tax and 20% Gratuity are added to all activities.
