“We had an absolutely wonderful day at Thru The Gates Restoration Ranch! My son’s first experience riding a horse was truly special. The staff were so kind and patient, making him feel completely comfortable and safe. The horse was lovely. On top of that, their petting zoo was fantastic! There were so many friendly animals to interact with, and it was such a treat for the whole family.  Thru The Gates Restoration Ranch is a gem; a perfect place for kids to connect with animals and make lasting memories. We can’t wait to visit again!”

“We recently had the joy of staying at Thru the Gates Restoration Ranch our visit was filled with laughter, great conversations, and enjoying simple pleasures of family. My wife an I took a carriage ride around the farm, enjoying the fresh air and views. We shared stories over home cooked meals and reminisced over how good it was to get together. We loved every minute of our stay and deeply appreciated the warm hospitality. Our time on the farm left us feeling refreshed, connected, and already planning our next visit.”
