Super fun! - My husband and I went together, but this is also a great activity for families. The wagon tour was informative and fun. The mules that pull the wagon are amazing! It was super windy so we didn’t do much of the games outside but the activities under the cover were awesome! We did barn dancing, listened to live music and watched Judy perform. Dinner and desert were good, followed by roasting marshmallows. It was a fun night!

Great family fun - Terrific experience. There were 8 of us and all ages and needs were accommodated admirably. My wife, daughter and grandkids were equally impressed and cared for. Afternoon/evening was both interesting and entertaining. Unique, worthwhile, desert experience.

Great family time - Our family of 4 had a great time. The staff made a huge effort to make everyone feel welcome and kept things fun. We all enjoyed our the cowboy bbq dinner. From the cowboy arts entertainment to the singers, the entertainment and pacing of the fun was strategically executed. During the wagon ride to the palm oasis, we learned about the mules who were pulling the wagon, as well as about the tectonic plates we were straddling. We learned about some of the desert plants and about the owls and coyotes who live in the area. Very enjoyable evening! Thank you team.

What a fun evening!! - Our family enjoyed every bit of this wonderful experience. We learned so much about the geology and the critters and plants of this special part of the world. We loved the music, dancing and roping lessons and the food was fantastic! Our group ranged in ages from 10-72 and everyone thought it was a night to remember! The owners and their staff were amazing…we can’t wait to bring more of our visiting friends and family!!

Wonderful evening - The wagon guides were very interesting and informative. The dinner was excellent. The dancing was fun and the music great! Even the servers were attentive and fun! It would be better if both tour guides had amplification on the palm grove walk. Only front row people could hear well.
