This review is for the Bison Train. We wete there on a super cold day and were the only 3 people On the train but our guide, Chris, was fantastic. He treated us beautifully and our six year old grandson loved feeding the bison. Go on the early tour when they are hungry. So fun and well worth it. These are very nice folks. read more

My husband has been waiting four years to take us here. We finally drive 1.5 hours up today. The only reason I am giving this place two stars instead on one was the experience of the train ride through out the farm and the fun of feeding the bison. But the restaurant part only deserves one star. The food took almost 40 mins to come out & the 1/4 pound burger was so small it did not even fit in the bun. You can tell when a burger place is going to be good when they ask you how you would like your burger cooked- this place didn't. The bison burger came out small and burnt. My husband who is it one to complain was highly disappointed. However they manger made it right and took care of our bill. One last thing- this was the most overpriced gift store, we have been on our month long trip. read more

The train tour was a great time. The guide was talkative but not overbearing. The best part was the lengthy amount of time you were in and around the bison themselves. It was an experience without being overly efficient or feeling like you were rushed. The walkways were fun and the customer service was easy and informative. Worth a visit at any age. read more

Greatest experience EVER. We are jaded city folk, but this was spectacular. We went on the horse trail ride (not corny; sooo fun) and the bison train ride (also not corny). This place is magnificent in all respects. The staff is amazing, etc. of different kinds of animals are mindblowing, and the trading post/shop is terrific. read more

A short drive north from Fort Collins to reach Terry Bison Ranch. The train at noon, only had 39 people so there was room to move around to get great pictures. Being that close to bison and camels was a great experience. The bison are gentle and happy to be fed from the train windows. The people who work at the resort are kind and friendly. We enjoyed all the areas and all the animals. The place could use a little maintenance as there are broken windows and peeling paint, but nothing too bad. read more

This review is for the train only. We didn't stay in the campground or eat in the restaurant. It's a tourist trap, but a fun tourist trap. The Bison train lasts about an hour. The train travels at about walking speed, but stops so that everyone can feed bison from the train. The bison will happily crowd around the stopped train and lick bison treats out of your hand or chase after treats being thrown from the train. Both the adults and kids enjoyed the experience (even the teenager liked it). There's also pigs, ostriches, llamas, alpacas, donkeys, horses, goats, and peacocks to look at around the grounds. If you don't get a chance to see livestock at the National Western Stock Show or some other big event like that, this is a good opportunity to see different types of animals up close. read more

Totally worth visiting if you are in the area. My kids 9 & 14 enjoyed it. The train ride was fun. I would recommend you checking the weather because the weather changed really fast for us (lol). The food and service at the restaurant was good. It's worth trying if you are visiting. read more

What a fun experience on the Wyoming/Colorado border!! Plenty of things to see and do! We had a party of 7 and really enjoyed our time at Terry Bison Ranch! Everyone needs to take a train ride to visit the bison and feed them! From Gene Simmons to the baby red twins, we enjoyed watching them! Our 12, 13, 14, and 18 year olds had a blast, and all 3 adults enjoyed it too! Before we boarded the train, we pet a 6 month old bison, played with a baby donkey, and colt! We walked the cat walk and enjoyed the pigs, camels, ostrich, and other animals! One of the kids even took a horseback ride around the ranch and enjoyed it! Our boys really wanted to ride an ATV, but they were really pricey. And they wanted to fish, but we didn't bring any tackle! On the plus side, their food at the steakhouse was a pleasant surprise! The appetizer sampler is HUGE and DELICIOUS!!! read more

Thank you to all at the ranch for making our visit so memorable. Our guide was fabulous. We were not aware of how vast the ranch is - going into Colorado and all. Meeting Gene the Bison with a 15" tongue was outstanding! The rest of the herd was equally awesome. Getting to feed Bison and get up close and personal was such a thrill on our fun meter. We are so proud of this Ranch for purifying the blood lines, maintaining and increasing the numbers of this species. The American Bison is a wonder and they are even cute in their own special way. We hope to return for a trail ride. Love from Coloradans. read more

This place was super cute & fun to take our 2yo in the summer 2020. She enjoyed the many different animals & the train ride to feed the bison. No complaints about this place. It was adorable & we will visit again. read more

Needed a two day stay heading from the Black Hills of South Dakota to Colorado Spring, CO, and choose Terry Bison Ranch Campground. Friday check-in was pleasant. Internet service good, water pressure okay, and neighbors nice. Come Saturday evening the concert venue attached to the ranch sprang into action and the bass percussion carried 100's of yards into the campground. Not a pleasant stay to have the thumping of bass sounds coming through the walls of the camper while trying to relax. Not recommended for a quiet weekend night during these concert nights. read more

I'm feeling pretty "in the middle" on this one. Maybe it was the touristy vibe of the ranch or the bison burger that didn't knock my socks off (note that the burger is supposed to be the best in the state of WY). I would be lying if the smell of cigarette smoke during dinner didn't throw me off. It's been awhile since I've experienced this not-hot combo. Although the thought of having "cowboy killers" around fit my surroundings. I was grateful that they allowed us to pair our burgers up with the salad bar despite it not being an option on the menu. The space in this place would make for one helluva line dancing floor- just an idea ;) The bison burger will run you $15 and typically is served with fries and coleslaw. The other signature dish found here is the bison ribs. The crowd is colorful and extremely local (I'm pretty sure the folks at the bar have their butt marks indented on the stools), which I enjoyed very much. read more

I LOVED this place. We did the 2 hour 8am trail ride and I already want to go back to do it again! It was a beautiful ride and my horse Dudley was awesome and didn't make me feel scared at all. Very friendly tour guides that were happy to answer any questions about the ranch. We stayed in Boulder, CO but wanted to do out of the norm un-touristy things and this definitely was a highlight of our trip. read more

A family friendly activity for those of us who are looking for things to do during this time! We had a great time at the Ranch - it's outdoors and has plenty of space. The only thing that made me feel a little iffy was the train ride - thought they would restrict the sale of tickets, but the trains were pretty packed. The train tour was fun and went through the ranch, and you get up close to the bisons and feed them. One note - I think the first ride might get the most action - they get full throughout the day! Our only negative was the restaurant - they were so slow with our food, and dining turned into well over an hour (which is hard to make kids sit still for that long). read more

Very enjoyable experience. We did the Sunday Lunch train ride and thoroughly enjoyed the ride and feeding the bison. The food they served us for lunch was GREAT!! My husband had the bison short ribs and I had the chicken. Both were delicious but those ribs were the best! Kaley was our host and very informative tour guide. We loved getting up close and personal with the bison. So glad we stopped here. read more

We had a good time while there. Most of the resort is set up to be outside and comfortably away from other groups. But inside the info center was a mess. Staff weren't even wearing masks. Another patron wasn't looking where they were going and bumped me into one of the shelves. It's probably good for business to be crowded, but I can't help but feel it was somewhat irresponsible. We got to see lots of animals and learn some things about the history of Wyoming and bison. We did the train tour late in the day, and the bison were full, so we didn't get to go see them. If you do a tour, earlier in the day is better. They were set up for some cool activities like an outdoor drive-in movie and fishing. Probably a nice place to vacation, especially right now. read more

I love this place, I have gone multiple times and brought family and friends to have a good time here. I drove 2 hours to come do the buffalo tour with family. It is very fun you get to hear about the ranch and ride on a train, they give you a lot of food to feed the buffalo and it is such a neat experience! They range in ages and sizes from babies to huge buffalo! They have more activities, my kiddo got to do a pony ride which she loved and the gift shop is a run neat place. It is definitely worth coming to do the buffalo tour here! read more

One hour walking horse back ride thru hills. Saw prairie dogs and antelope. Staff very friendly. Good value.

Awesome ranch & enjoy learning about the Bison. Great for kids & a nice spot to say where you've been in Wyoming. Great restaurant too.

Do NOT eat here. I know the restaurant is under another yelp but just in case... Food makes you sick and is extremely overpriced. The farm was fine to walk around and see your basic farm animals. We didn't really get to see the bison. They were too far out in the field and the only way to see them was to take a $20 per person train ride out to see them. The gift shop was super pricey as well. read more

Our waitress was very nice, but long between visits. It seemed like half the menu was not available because "the truck has not gotten here yet". I ordered the bison burger, which was enormous, but quickly fell apart, becoming a knife and fork meal. The french fries arrived well after we had finished eating, but we're excellent. read more

Enjoyed time with family here. The train tour was great. However... while we were in the gift shop shopping the shop manager came out of no where and lost her mind on her co-workers for not helping us immediately. She was very un professional and rude for no reason. Still giving 5 stars for the rest of the staff. read more

Peace, Love, Animals of all kinds, Music, Ravers, wooks and Cowboys! What an amazing experience! Seeing a concert at Terry Bison Ranch was abaolutly unreal. The whole experience was beyond epic. Coming to Wyoming for a mini music festival was never something I would think would be enjoyable. But after 2 nights of amazing music and people and a couple days of being on a ranch I highly recommend every artist play here. The stage and sound was amazing. Being able to hear and see the show from every part of the venue was perfect! The staff was super friendly, Patient and kind hearted. Seeing so many different animals was cool. We saw a peacock, barn cat, bison, horses, goats, an ostrich and some camel It was really interesting seeing cowboys, wooks and ravers in the same place and I saw nothing but peace and love from everyone. I cannot wait to come back! For the people upset by seeing a bunch of ravers during your vacation. Maybe next time say hi and get a hug and you will see we are nothing but peace and love. We live for music and community The vibes were amazing! Thank you Terry Bison Ranch! read more

Had an amazing experience at Terry Bison Ranch! We did a Sunday lunch train ride which includes a delicious meal of either bison ribs or friend chicken, as well as bison feed to feed the bison. During feeding time, the bison came up right to the train. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The ranch has more to offer than bison, too! There are horses, chickens, llamas, and camels. There's also another restaurant. read more

Terry Bison Ranch Resort - Hand feeding bison! Such an amazing experience! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cheyenne, Wyoming

DO NOT STAY HERE. I've been paying $1000/month for an RV lot for 7 months now. Up and until this moment, my only complaint would be the price. But now, this crazy, ignorant park manager is harassing me. Left my garbage bag outside bc the weather was atrocious, got a call about it, picked it up and took it to the garbage. 6 hours later a letter was taped to my rig in freezing weather even though the problem was solved. Having a $15k paint job and tape stuck to it, I was not happy. So I confronted them, and as I walked out someone with a smart mouth made a comment to take the garbage out. I replied with a not so nice remark which got me kicked out on February 1st, even though I will gladly leave now but not going to with $1k invested, and they "don't do refunds" Now they're hanging around my lot, and when I confront them with "is there a problem?", the said manager acts like I am attacking her and has a ridiculous attitude toward me. Save your money, there are better/cheaper places to stay and don't need to deal a see you next Tuesday. read more

Highly recommend if you're in the area! We came from Denver - worth the short ride! It's not every day one gets to feed bison, and there was no better place than Terry Bison Ranch! Shout out to Train Conductor Chris for a fun - and thrilling! (haha) - train ride! Hugs next time, Walter the Turkey. read more

Girls at front store were super nice and personable! Lady who lead our train ride was super fun ! If going during winter, and not a local be prepared for COLD, overly dress for warm and remember you will be on a ranch (heard so city slickers talking smack like it was supposed to be a fancy outing lol). You get to see and feed the Bison, awesome ! read more

Horrible , horrible experience I have never been treated so poorly . I have been in customer service for years and I am appalled at how TIFFANY and other girls at the front desk at gift shop treated me and my family. Unacceptable and they are making the whole place look bad. I want everyone who may be interested in this place to know that Tiffany is rude , as well as her manager and disrespectful to say the very least. I have a child with a disability and she made him cry!! How do you sleep?? This is disgusting behavior she needs to be FIRED!! She cannot get away with this !!! I will tell every single person I can shoot it to every platform possible !! stay away from here , at least until Tiffany and her boss do not work there . read more

Great deal for the experience. Train conductor Chris was awesome! He had clean jokes which made the train ride so fun! He was good with kids too. We also did the pony ride which was a little short but the weather was very cold and windy. The restaurant which Chris recommended was fantastic! Food and service were awesome! Portion sizes were Bison size and prices were reasonable. read more

Went there with a group of friends and family on March 12, 2022. Service was horrible, main dining area was close,so they sat us down on an improvised place, really cold. Food tasted bad, waiter didn't brought food together for everyone, so, some of them just saw us eating, until their food arrived, cocktail drinks were served on plastic cups because "they run out of glasses ". Besides being way overpriced. Not worth it. They should learn from Texas Roadhouse Service and food quality. read more

Poor customer service. Make sure you pay to book a trail ride or you will be bumped! Doesn't matter if they took your reservation or not (no explanation of policy) Would have been nice if they offered a solution but no! VERY DISAPPOINTED read more

My stay at Terry Bison Ranch was amazing the staff was so fun and helpful and really made it like home

We stopped over for one night on our way to Rapid City South Dakota. We chose Terry Ranch because we wanted to see and feed the bison. The campground itself was just a flat field with little vegetation. Dinner in the Steakhouse restaurant was very nice. Our server was excellent and the live music was a plus. read more

Terry Bison Ranch Resort - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cheyenne, Wyoming

There is something very therapeutic and blissful about being among a herd of bison. Perhaps it is the majesty of the beautiful beast or their calmness. Either way, it is one of the must-do activities for me when I am in bison territory. Besides the therapeutic factor, there is also the bizarro factor. I have one word for you: beefalo. It is the most awkward animal I've seen at a ranch. Blame it on the horny bison... they jump in to the cow pen and mate with the long horns. The resulting offspring takes the awkward features from both a bison and a cow/ steer and looks unfortunate but cute. It is one of those animals that looks cute because you feel sorry for it. An immense body (bigger than a bison), lanky legs (like a cow), a patch of hair on the hump (like a bison), and cow patch skin. The beefalo makes perfect casting as an ugly duckling in any fairy tale. Terry Bison Ranch Resort is bison heaven. The ranch has more than 5000 bison roaming around 38,000 acres of land. But you don't get to see all five thousand of them, unless you take an entire day and wander out across the 38K acres. They have a few dozen bison in an enclosed area only for showing purposes. This is where the fun happens. You take an open trolley, pass ostriches, alpacas, and horses, and arrive at the bison area. Bison look stupid, but they know the trolley brings treats. All of a sudden dozens of bison get up from their lazy state and walk to the trolley. Our guide brings out a large bucket of treats (made of alfalfa) and they wait for him to throw the treats in their direction. Some bold and social bison come close to the trolley, it's like they are asking to be fed. The guide points out which ones are more social than others and hands over a few treats for you to hand feed them. Now, if you know me, I grew up in the jungles. The real jungles of Congo, not countryside or a farm. I love getting close to animals. There are not many things more satisfying and therapeutic than feeling animal slobber all over your hands. The bison were happy to receive treats and I was happy to hand feed them. Besides the animals, the resort also offers horse back riding in the vast hills, a "dude ranch" experience, and a restaurant that supposedly serves great farm-raised bison. You also have a made-up western town for the kitsch factor. You can camp your RV or rent a lodge overlooking the hills and bison herds. Thank you, majestic beasts, for helping me relax and gain some calmness in my (currently) chaotic life. I will always be appreciative of the fact that you trusted me and let me get close to you. read more

You could call it a tourist trap OR you could call it a rad-stop-on-a-monotone-drive where you get to hand feed bison off of a nostalgic train car, ride horses into the sunset like a Dothraki warrior, and have a whiskey in a picturesque saloon with grumpy old cowboys. I call it the latter. Had a great time. A unique and lovely experience. Bonus points for the amusement park made out of trash barrels. A+ read more

This is a review for the RV park only. If you are staying only one night it is bearable. Sites are smaller than small. They are at most 4 feet on each side wider than an RV. The WiFi is so nonexistent that it is not even strong enough to connect. If you get it for half off (through passport America) then as I said one night is bearable. Trust me. Don't book for more than one night. read more

I lived in Laramie for almost five years and never made it over to Terry Bison Ranch until I was back in town visiting this week. I knew that they had a restaurant, but only just learned about the Bison Train. I got to the ranch just before the train left at 10:30am on a Monday morning, and paid my $14 in the gift shop. I arrived down at the train with a few minutes to spare, and got a row all to myself. The train conductor that day was filling in, but he had been with the ranch for over 20 years, and was an entertaining fellow. He told us about the animals we were passing, the history of the ranch, and a great story about a scene in Dances With Wolves which makes me want to re-watch the film in the near future. When we got to the field where we could feed the bison, I was very excited. There was plenty of feed in the provided buckets (no extra charge for this), and plenty of room to spread out so that everyone had plenty of chances to feed the bison. We were parked for a good amount of time, and I felt like I'd gotten my monies worth when we pulled away. I recommend the Bison Train to anyone interested in bison (I LOVE them!), it was the best $14 I've ever spent! read more

Is it possible to give it zero stars?? Campground was a dump. Trash all over, grass was knee high and campers were almost on top of one another. We had considered staying a nite to relax but once we saw it...NO WAY. Buildings all needed to be painted. Broken beer bottles, cans, dirty diapers in areas where people are walking. We got disgusted and left. I guess if you had children the train ride would be cute but my advice is to get back in your car and leave right after the train ride. read more

I was in Cheyenne for work and had a few hours free on an afternoon. I went to the Terry Bison Ranch and started with the trail ride. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable ride. The scenery is beautiful and the guide was very informative! My horse "Julia" was a very good girl. After learning about the train ride, I decided to stick around and do that too! The tour guide was hilarious and very energetic! The train goes around the ranch and through the bison pasture where you then get to feed them treats. It was a very cool experience! I would highly recommend stopping by the ranch if you are in the area :) read more
