It generally takes 3 to 4 hours to tour the entire Ranch. We recommend that guests plan to arrive no later than 1:30 p.m.
Yes. The Ranch is developed around a nearly-mile long paved loop and we have a tractor-pulled tram that circles every 20 to 30 minutes.
Because the Victorian Mansion and Ranch House display museum-quality artifacts, they are climate-controlled for humidity and temperature. However, the rest of the Ranch’s historical amenities (including the Dog Trot Cabin, Prairie Home, Sharecropper Cabin, Blacksmith Shop and cattle working pens) are all subject to the whims of weather. We suggest that guests wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes, stay hydrated and dress for the day’s forecast.
We encourage guests to take pictures during their visit. The Ranch has a variety of natural and historical settings that make for beautiful photographs. To protect and preserve the furnishings in the historic homes, we ask that you do not use a flash when inside the Victorian Mansion or Ranch House.
For photo shoots, professional photography, and private sessions, please contact us for schedules, rates and fees at events@georgeranch.org, or at 281-343-0218 x 261.
Guests are encouraged to bring picnic lunches. Alcohol is not permitted on site.
There are a variety of restaurants located at both the intersections of 59 and Crabb River Rd. and the intersection of Highway 59 and FM 762. Major hotel chain lodging is available near both major highway intersections within 5 miles of the Ranch.
We do not provide camping facilities. The closest camping ground is located nearby at Brazos Bend State Park.
No. We are a private facility and not affiliated with the Texas State Parks System.
Pets are not allowed on Ranch property. Service animals are welcome.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer horseback rides to our guests. While we do have horses on site, they are part of our working staff and are the cowboys’ best partners.
We provide plenty of free parking.
