Celebrating Animals at Old West Christmas Light Fest: A Guide to Our Furry Friends
At Old West Christmas Light Fest, we believe that animals are an integral part of the holiday magic we create each year.
Nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country at Enchanted Springs Ranch, our festival isn’t just about twinkling lights and festive cheer—it’s also about connecting with the natural world and celebrating the animals that make this place so special.Whether you’re a family looking for interactive experiences with animals, a nature lover eager to see local wildlife, or a pet owner wanting to share the holiday fun with your furry friend, there’s something here for everyone. Read on to see the many different ways you can interact with animals at the festival!
Meet Our Ranch Residents: Longhorns, Buffalo, Deer, and More!
Enchanted Springs Ranch is home to a variety of animals that embody the spirit of the Old West. As you explore our sprawling grounds, you’ll have the chance to see longhorn cattle with their impressive horns, majestic buffalo grazing in the fields, and graceful deer and antelope roaming freely. There are even cute babies that love to snuggle their moms – perfect for a photo op!
Our ranch is dedicated to the preservation and care of these magnificent animals, and we’re thrilled to share them with our guests. As you take in the sights and sounds of the ranch, you’ll experience a connection to nature that’s both peaceful and awe-inspiring. Don’t forget to bring your camera—you’ll want to capture the beauty of these creatures in their natural habitat!
Hands-On Fun at the Petting Zoo
For our younger guests (and the young at heart!), our petting zoo offers a hands-on experience that’s both educational and entertaining. The petting zoo features a variety of gentle animals, including goats, sheep, rabbits, and more, that children can interact with, pet, and feed.
Our staff is on hand to ensure that each interaction is safe and enjoyable for both the animals and our guests. It’s a wonderful way for kids to learn about animal care, develop empathy, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Plus, there’s something truly heartwarming about seeing a child’s face light up as they bond with a new furry friend.
Bring Your Own Furry Friend: Pet-Friendly Fun
We know that for many families, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without their beloved pets by their side. That’s why Old West Christmas Light Fest is proud to be a pet-friendly event! We welcome dogs to join in the festivities as long as they remain on a leash and are well-behaved. Please remember to clean up after your pets to help us maintain a clean and enjoyable environment for all guests!
Bringing your dog along means they can share in the joy of exploring our Old West town, taking in the Christmas lights, and maybe even meeting Santa! There’s something extra special about experiencing the magic of the season with your four-legged family members in tow.
Our Mission: Celebrating Animals and Nature
At Enchanted Springs Ranch, our mission is to foster a deeper appreciation for animals and the natural world. We’re committed to the well-being of our animals, and we strive to create experiences that allow our guests to connect with nature in meaningful ways.
