Description:
The Oil Ranch is dedicated to educating youth & preserving our Texas Heritage. The ranch is a great opportunity for the students to have a hands-on experience with ranch animals, agriculture, and Texas history. Kids 12 and under get a free pumpkin!
Field trips at the Oil Ranch are packed full of interesting facts that kids want to know. Here are some highlights:
