We’re planning exciting new ways for families to enjoy Pony Rides, Petting Pens, the Indoor Playground, and even our Mechanical Bull on a regular basis — especially through the winter months. And we want to hear from YOU!

As we build new play options for the colder season, we want to know what works best for your family:
👉 Drop-in play
👉 Monthly passes
👉 Yearly all-access memberships

Your feedback helps us create the BEST experience possible at Shelby Ranch. Thank you for taking a moment to share what YOU want to see! 💛

❄️ And yes, we are a winter-friendly ranch!
You and your family can explore the ranch, visit animals inside and outside, enjoy pony rides, play in the indoor playground, and even take a turn on the mechanical bull, all indoors and ready no matter the weather!

🎄🫏 Danny the Donkey is officially in the holiday spirit!

He’s all cozied up in his little house at Shelby Ranch… with Christmas lights glowing all around him! ✨
Danny says he’s not sure if he’s more handsome or more festive — but either way he’s feeling VERY jolly.

Come visit him during our Sleigh Ride of Lights and see his decorated house in person!
He loves visitors, snacks, and telling everyone he’s the real star of the ranch. 😉

📸✨ Drop a ❤️ if you think Danny is the cutest Christmas donkey ever!
