Has anyone ever had or attended a birhtday party at Storybook Ranch in McKinney, TX? If so, did you think it was a good place for kids age 4-6?
My daughter and I went to a party there last summer. We REALLY enjoyed it ~ except for the chiggers!!
Yes! We had one there last October for my girls. They were turning 5 and 7.
It's a neat atmosphere, and the kids loved the animals. They had a bounce house set up, pony rides, and a small petting "zoo." The party was 2 hours, and they give a 1/2 hour on either side to set up and clean up.
We enjoyed it very much, and had compliments from the people who came.
I had a strange and disappointing experience trying to ORGANIZE a party there. We live in McKinney, and thought it would be the perfect location for my 4 year old daughter's birthday party. That was in late March. Not only did the two ladies (one sounded like a teenager, but the other was an adult who wouldn't come to the phone) have no idea what birthday packages they offered, but they seemed not to care! I was redirected to their web page, which wasn't very clear, and was the reason I called in the first place. I was eventually able to arrange a date, but when I compared their fee with other potential locations, I chose to go elsewhere. I was concerned that, given their lack of organization and interest, we would regret the bill.
The elementary school where I substitute teach had an outing there this spring.
The overall impression was that it was fun, however, the parents had to be hands on with the horses, etc and a lot of the smaller kids got scared.
I'm speaking from what I heard the PTA discussing. I don't think the'll be going back next year.
Hi, We had a S. party there once. The kids enjoyed decorating cakes then had a great time at the Ranch. I agree with T.F. about the parents needing to be hands on at some of the activities at the Ranch. I hope you enjoy.
