Every time I go it is always amazing. My son and his class had the opportunity to go to the oil ranch. The kids faces were filled with so much joy. I love it with kids are happy. At the end they even gave the kids A free pumpkin. read more

Very expensive, very far and not much to do. For 4 people I had to pay $84. You go inside another cold Hot Chocolate for $8. Not much going on inside. Don't waste your time and money bringing your kids here there are so many better and cheaper places. read more

I took my grandkids here on a Friday. We had a great time! The staff was friendly and helpful and there was so much to do.

Such nostalgia with this place! My parents took me when I was a kid and this past Saturday I had the pleasure of taking my 2-year old for my company picnic. The activities were kid-centric for all ages. She loved everything! read more

What a beautiful site to walk and explore. The children love the crafts. The staff was so pleasant and offered assistance to make the experience so perfect. I want to take some special needs children there soon. I know they'd love it! read more

Horrible experience! Yes the milking of the cow, hay ride, train was fun. The thing that made me upset is that they charged all parents regular price during out school field trip. Also that the lady working the gate would not let a teacher leave with a pumpkin. He told her it was for a student that left it behind but didn't know who and that he will fine who's it was when we got to school. She refused to let him keep it! read more

I went here a bunch of times for field trips in elementary school as a kid. I can't remember much about other than that it was awesome, and almost always the coolest field trip of the year. read more

For $15.95 per person you should be able to get a lot more for your money. Prices for food/drinks are reasonable, train and tractor ride are super fun! The farm is not well kept, not many diversity of animals no cows or horses. Staff was friendly. Fun place for little kids, but a little pricey... Very long lines for all the activities. read more

So not worth 13 buck a person. This was really disappointing, the staff is so bored and they aren't very helpful. It was like pulling teeth to get one of them to tell us where things were located. The one petting zoo was pointless as the sheep ran from you. The one on the far side was ok, the goats would let you feed them and there was a duck. Train ride was decent. But we (my husband, 2yr old and I) were in and out in less than 2 hours. And that was really trying to stretch it out. We will not go back, and I wouldn't recommend it. Our playgroup is scheduled to go in a few weeks and i think I am going to warn them... read more

The manager was rude and unpleasant. I believe she was also the caretaker there witch added to the disappointments. Animals look unhealthy and rides are out of date. read more

This place was a JOKE! I wouldn't waste your money coming here with your family. All of the activities were run down or closed. The employees were all rude and hateful. The military discount was also a joke. We won't be coming back to this place. And the adults paid just as much as the kids and we were told very rudely that we couldn't take a pumpkin home either. read more

My kids LOVED it here! We came on a field trip during the week when it wasn't too crowded and had a blast going on pony rides, milking cows, hayrides, petting zoos, train rides, an Indian Village and and running through beautiful pastures as we got around to the different main attractions. Their favorite by far though was the mining section. We purchased the ruby/emerald mix and headed on over to the mining station where they have a sleuth and sifts. The kids had a blast and found some pretty amazing stones which I now step on every night after they go to sleep. :p- The employees here are very nice. They have sports fields, paint ball (I think you pay extra for that) and quite a few different farm related attractions. We've been to Old MacDonald's Farm and DewBerry Farm, but the kids both said they loved this place the best. It's not too far from Houston -- especially in your live in the North or West. Kids also get a free pumpkin. Big plus = no hidden costs for most attractions. read more

Sadly this business lacks leadership and communication skills with it's management. I drove my family out there today to bring my daughter to their pumpkin patch. Upon arrival I didn't see any ticket booth or main gate so we proceeded into the ranch. We arrived around 1:30 so it was hot and we proceeded over towards the train station. Once the train arrived the gentleman who operates it informed us that if we wanted to ride on it that we needed to go over to the general store and purchase a wrist band. No problem, we didn't know this and there was another family that was there at the train station and didn't know as well. Once we entered the store we were met with a couple of younger girls who worked the register and their manager, a middle aged heavy set woman. I asked her how much it would be to purchase the train ride. She sarcastically stated to me and my family that coming into their facility without paying is like going to Six Flags and riding all the rides without paying. She insisted that we immediately pay. I asked what time they closed and she stated 2:30. The time was 1:55. Her sarcasm continued as we turned to leave, she said out loud in front of my family, and I quote "Maybe you don't belong here". I tried to keep my composure but as I left I accidentally didn't close the door. She came outside and said, "Oh and I'll close this door for you too". I've never been to this ranch before and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who mistakenly walked into the facility without knowing which way to proceed for general admission. But this manager has pretty much let me know that my kind are not welcomed into their neck of the woods. City people...try to stay away from Oil Ranch! read more

Do NOT go to The Oil Ranch. We stayed for like an hour just walking around and paid over $60 just to get in and get 3 very small pumpkins. We ask for a refund and they refused. It's not worth the drive or the money. Also the lady at the booth is very rude. She told my kids the couldn't walk back to the car. She told then they couldn't sit on the fence. She told my husband he couldn't sit on a giant pumpkin etc etc read more

Lower your expectation. We went in the fall, so weren't able to experience the pool. The experience was mediocre, but you really get what you paid for. You get a small pumpkin when you leave (its first come first serve so you might not get one as promised). The service was mediocre. The only people who seemed happy there were at the check in area. Everywhere else people seemed depressed and bored(probably from years of having to deal with guests and children). I found the place very run down, things falling apart (Totem pole), paint chipping off, golf balls and clubs splitting apart, and the place was poorly maintained in general. There wasn't much in terms of a tour but more of an exploratory type park. I would describe it as a very large playground with very little educational purpose. The food concession is what really got to me. As a walk in guest, I had to go to a designated area to get food service. My children were really thirsty so I had to walked them there only to find out there wasn't anyone inside at that time. I was a very disheartened about that, especially with the kids complaining after walking in the Texas heat. This place would only be good for corporate picnics or elementary school field-trips (it sure as heck beats homework and work). read more

I went today with my five year old son. We did not had a good experience staff were rude specially the train driver. She made my son to step out of the train for no reason. This made may son fell so bad and me embarrassed. I talked with management and they did not help me. Still the bad moment they make my son live is unjustly. read more

i went today with my two year old neice and nephew. other then the price it was a good day! it was almost $13 dollars a person!! the staff was very friendly. we took them to milk a cow, see chickens, baby chicks, pigs, cows, sheep, bunnies. then to ride the ponies. we went on a tractor ride to feed cows and donkeys. then went on a train ride. the kids loved this! they also loved the petting zoo where they could feed the animals. and really cute baby goats. the baby pigs were my favorite. they also really liked the Indian village where the teepee is. we spent a few hours there and picked out a pumpkin and then left. be sure to bring a stroller unless your kid likes to run. everything is very spread out so wear your walking shoes. its kinda annoying that you cant bring outside food or drinks, but i know thats so you spend your money buying there stuff. the kids were so tired after all the running and playing that they passed out on the way home(: i would defiantly bring them back there. read more

was awesome fun would definitely go back..... so much cheaper than that farms place and more laid back....
