Find the Right Family Dude Ranch for You
All of our Wyoming ranches offer something different for families. Some ranches specialize in vacations for families with younger children, while others are better for families with older children. There are three types of dude ranches to choose from: traditional, working, and rustic. Traditional Wyoming ranches are usually the best for families, offering the perfect combination of modern amenities and traditional Western activities.
Regardless of where you go, you can expect an incredible family adventure at our Wyoming dude ranches!

There are kids’ programs to cater to every family’s interests! Some ranches offer programs where you drop the kids off for the day, while others focus on shared family experiences.
Kids programs often include supervised adventures like horseback riding, hiking, fishing, and archery so everyone can enjoy the Wild West on vacation. They also often include hands-on educational activities like arts and crafts, leatherwork, scavenger hunts, lawn games, and much more.
