Your kids will feel at home at White Stallion Ranch, just 25 minutes from downtown Tucson.

The focus here is on horseback riding?kids ages 5 and up are able to go on scenic trail rides and take part in ranch activities like cattle sorting. Older kids (8 and up) can try more advanced riding techniques, rock climbing, flat-tire e-biking and learning to shoot Cowboy style Henry Yellowboy .22 caliber lever action rifles and Ruger .22 caliber single action pistols. Other amenities include an outdoor pool, air-conditioned games room with foosball and air hockey, a small movie theatre, petting zoo, as well as basketball and tennis courts.
