Enchanted Springs Ranch Description
This loveably "deteriorating" frontier town looks like something straight out of a vintage Western. Built as a movie set, it's got all the important elements -- bank for robbing, saloon for brawling -- with 35 buildings in all. The place is also a working ranch, and kids love to see the resident steer (not to mention zebra and some other wildlife) from tractor tours. Costumed guides might stage a gunfight, but this frontier is generally pretty quiet. Mostly (as evidenced by the many kids playing sheriff/outlaw) it's just imagination heaven.
Kid Tips
School-Age Kids: The Trading Post sells everything a sheriff needs. Count on your cowpoke wanting to go there.
