11 Saddle up for Old West fun at MacDonald's Ranch

Head out of town and discover the fun awaiting you at MacDonald's Ranch in North Scottsdale. Their guided horseback rides offer a unique way to experience the beauty of the Sonoran Desert and a little bit of the Old West. Take your pick of activities at the ranch, including horse or mule-pulled hayrides, pony rides, and a petting zoo. In the fall, the ranch hosts a pumpkin patch, hay maze, train ride, and fun games for kids to enjoy. It's perfect for private events, too. Schedule a western barbecue set in Old West Town and even a stagecoach robbery re-enactment for entertainment.
