I really like the reenactment of 1830s life of early Texans. The buildings are well maintained. It is a shame due to COVID-19 you cannot go to the second floor on the 1890 house. Dont forget your mask.

We held my daughters wedding here yesterday - Beautiful place - David was a great help to us! Thank you so much for everything.

I came here as part of a school field trip. We spent about 3 hours there and to be honest, thats not at all enough time to see everything. The place has a lot of history and if that interests you, try to spend a day here. They have guides who are knowledgeable and friendly. Theres a lot of walking to do in an open ranch setting so come prepared with comfortable footwear and clothing suited for the elements. They have a gift shop with some interesting gifts. Never saw a food court or cafeteria, so bring your own food.

We had a lovely afternoon here! We spent about 3 or 4 hours enjoying their small rodeo, and visiting all their historic buildings, which was guided by knowledgeable speakers. A lovely afternoon out! Would definitely recommend.

The best place to go in Fort Bend County. Wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Well worth the time and money.

If the history of Fort Bend County has ever interested you, this is one of the best places to learn it! The kids really enjoyed themselves! They take you on a chronological tour of how George Ranch progressed over the years from house to house. If you go at the right time of year youll most likely see a few alligators as well. I will be coming back again!

Wonderful walk through history. Perfect individuals who really get into character, with the surroundings that portray a world forgotten. Great for a family country historic outing.

Amazing staff, amazing place, amazing souvenirs, amazing everything!

Go for it! Amazing place. This ranch is over 100 years old and was passed down generations until today. You learn a lot about Cowboys and Ranch owners back in the days. A total must have!

Fun, very large, educational spot. Make sure you get there early to fit in all the house tours that happen on the hour. The doors to the houses are locked if you arrive when there is no tour. Get the schedule when you arrive so you know when there are special events like Santa visits, cattle demos, etc.

Loved the history and charm of the old ranch. Awesome job of conserving the past! #yourTEXASrealtor

Enjoyable visit. Was very quiet, mid week in October. Worth using the transport to move around if it is hot as there are long stretches with no shade. Can be tricky to time the moves between the houses to fit in with the talks. Probably more suited to adults or older children.

It was like a live history museum... People there were knowledgeable and the knew what they were talking about.. they did a great job in playing the characters roles!!

Really cool place to visit with out of town guests. From my understanding this is one of the oldest operating ranches in Texas. Ive visited several times over the past few years and I learn something new everytime I go. The tours are very interesting and informative. Its located only about an hour or so from downtown Houston. I highly recommend going.

Interesting place with historical buildings from various eras of the George family. The tractor can take you around or you can walk. There are horses, cows, pigs and chickens to see and old tools and machines. Be prepared to spend at least half a day in the ranch. Each house has a person taking you around and explaining the history.

Many thanks to Tony, the Cheif Garage door repair company, the staff was fantastic and really friendly. He clearly knew what he was doing and worked hard for us. The new door unit works really well. Thanks for all

Great experience at that ranch. Definitely learned a lot and had a nice tour. Uncle bob is the man

Ive only been here on Texian days which are pretty cool! Everyone dressed up in costumes to fit the timeline. Theres a lot to do here! You will not get bored.

Grandchildren love this park! The boys are 3 and 6. They enjoy the tram, Uncle Bob and his animals at share croppers cabin, the Cowboys, blacksmith shop, Big Tex and sometimes the house tours.

Great place for families and history! Its a lot of fun bringing history to life! There are so many different aspects and time frames. Everyone should be able to find their niche and dream about living back then.

Very interesting place! SOOO MUCH HISTORY! I got bored at the end, but it was still very interesting!

Great place, we went for a field trip with my daughters school, the buildings are pretty neat. The kids had a great time, it is better if you go on a not hot day though, big place, lots of walking. The kids specially loved the school room of rhe 1860s.

Wonderful place to see Texas living in different eras. Nice to walk I. I especially liked the late 1780 farm and the 1850 farm with the Smith working.

Great place to visit and see. Great historical place with many different eras portrayed. Great information provided for each area and the staff is completely knowledgeable able each era.A must see if in the Houston area.

Very nice colonial Ranch. A lot of great Texas History and the actors are wonderful. The tour of the house was the best.

Great historical experience. Dont miss it. You will have a very fantastic time.

You can witness an atmosphere like a historical tale from 1800’s.

We really appreciate the time the staff took with they went above and beyond accommodating us. Treating us as if we owned the place EVERYBODY made us feel special and by the way ... the George Ranch itself is a must see. You are doing your self a disservice if you do not visit.

It was so interesting to see and learn how people lived centuries ago. To learn about the history of the ranch was enlightening. The weather was perfect and I really enjoyed it!!

Great place and staff

Rich with history. I always come away a little more knowledgible about Texas History. This is a must for foreign visitors and those from other states who want to the real Texas of long ago.

The houses looks great and the history lesson you learn when Texas was still part of Mexico and how they live and make a living is wonderful

Great place to visit and a little bit of history.

Fun place for families to gain an appreciation for a bit of Texas history on a working ranch. You can see how a family generations lived and prospered within a few generations as they were granted Mexican land and turned it an entrepreneurial success. The ranch is beautiful and well preserved by a staff of knowledgeable people with an obvious passion for sharing the information with inquisitive visitors.

Love it here. We went on a super slow weekday and there was barely anyone else there. It was great! A little hot but the tram they have helps out a lot with that. Very helpful staff and volunteers. Everyone was very sweet and informative. Sat with some of the staff and chatted for quite a while. It was really nice. We will definitely be back! Glad to have something like this so close to home. Love the self paced atmosphere and tons of historical facts and information. Cant wait to go back when its not 90+ degrees so we can walk more than wait for the tram.

This place was interesting but the people aren’t super friendly. We went with a school field trip. I understand that having that many children around can become stressful and difficult especially this time of the year but the people working there were horrible. They have bad attitudes, yelling at students and parents to move, unfriendly, would not answer questions and just didn’t seem to like their jobs at all. The field trip was poorly directed and we even missed a huge activity because students and teachers were not given proper direction. I wouldn’t go back. Today’s trip just kinda put me off. It’s too bad because I’m sure there are lots of great things about this place.

I’ve been here twice for the cattle Barrons ball and it’s been great every time

Do not go, I don’t know what is deal with these people and field trips just went with my school 3rd graders and they were all so rude and unfriendly to the kids and to the teachers, games were boring and they did not put the kids in context, of course 3rd graders will ask silly questions and they were all very rude to answer them, also they expected the kids to know what to do without giving clear instructions, if you have this as and “option” for your field trips just do not waste your time going to this place. The staff here is just rude and looks like they do not want to do this job to be honest.

I really liked this park. You can go back in time to the history of Texas in the 1800s.

I toook mmy husband for one of the historic lunches. The food was very tasty and it was a Great experience touring all of the period homes. We enjoyed talking with the staff. Especially Uncle Bob, petting the chickens and pigs and the reenactments from the different time periods.

Great way to learn about the history of Texas in a realistic setting. Neat place

Texas history from the perspective from one of 300 first family to arrive this land, during the Mexico control in earlies 1800s. Interesting and well prepared characters to tell the history. I recommend you to bring water and snacks.

Great place to learn about the rich history of Texas. Its amazing to see what Texas life was like in 1830

We brought our Girl Scout troop and they earned two badges. They learned a lot, and the people at George Ranch were extremely friendly.

You can rent this venue for events, gathering, etc. It has a nice atmosphere and a calming countryside ambient, perfect for you who want to destress from busy schedule

This is one of the best places to host an event. The park is immaculate and the staff is very friendly. Kristi Farquar who is Director of Sales and Events is very knowledgeable and responds to requests very quickly. I highly recommend them. Melissa

Very educational for kiddos and good field trip they had for 2nd grade! They even have a military discount! Thanks for supporting the troops!

Living history is a wonderful way to learn things and George Ranch gets the immersive aspects rights. Details are wonderful. Lots of walking. We went on a Tuesday in January, and things were pretty trimmed down from normal operations, it seemed. At least one of the exhibits was not manned. The Cafe was not operating, but other reviews make me think that was a good thing.Biggest complaint was visiting Mr. Jones stock farm. The person portraying Mr. Jones was deep into character, probably too deep. He was very knowledgeable but he had very little patience with kids. During his presentation, if my kids squirmed or expressed surprise or wanted to ask a question, he was very curt in demanding quiet until he was ready to entertain questions. At one point, he indicated that he wanted my six year old to leave, because he squealed with excitement when a chicken ran by and Mr. Jones caught it. It was embarrassing for my son. I understand that Mr. Jones was treating the cabin as his own, and expecting all of us to do the same, but he seems to have forgotten that we were paying guests. Additionally, there was no warning or information regarding the expected behavior of the kids. Now, on the plus side, he patiently answered all of my other kids questions, and spoke with us at length about his life However, he basically ruined the visit to his farm for my youngest kid, and so upset my wife and me with his rudeness, that it was difficult to enjoy the other exhibits.

This is a place with living history. Everyone should go at least once. Pick a good weather day.

Neat place to learn Texas history and see a real ranch in action. Make sure to visit all stations/stops and make sure to see the cows jump in the bath! Very entertaining. Ask about lunch events too- great food and fun facts presented by the staff.

Loved the Texian Days!!! Took my 16 and 21 year old sons out to tour the houses, watch the battles, experience the rich history of the high school that bears the name of the working ranch they have graduated from and attend currently. The stories and activities were fantastic and the tours in each house gives you a perspective on time pieces. The working ranch is still a working ranch and they have a tram to carry you from house to house if you need a lift.

Volunteering and as a guest the ranch is so much fun! Breathtaking Victorian house. Beautiful costumes and great tours. Its fun with school groups and as a family. Keep an eye out for events they may host awesome!

Always a good time! Beautiful grounds! The historic meals that they do are delicious and affordable! A great place to learnabout history!

Here you can find the old fashioned ranch vibe!

The Historical park is a beautiful location outside of Houston. They have a collections of houses that tell the history of the area and the start of Texas. The staff and volunteers are very knowledge, friendly and excited to share the history. Such a marvelous place.

Great place but it would be nice if there was a playground for the little kiddos nearby to play at. We visited when most of the facilities were closed or not in use.

Beautiful place and nice and helpful staff.

Absolutely fantastic place to visit. See 4 generations living arrangements as well as a working ranch. One of the best museums of its type.

Actually my sister in law and niece went to this park on a school trip, my niece really enjoyed it, my sister in law said it was a lot of walking, so take comfortable shoes .

Had a holiday party here. Great food and I enjoyed the band

Good place . How to learn about old Texas Family

Great place to visit! Very informative and fun to hear about life back in the day.

We love everything about this place! Bought a membership so we can come often. So much fun to visit, especially when they do reenactments. The folks in the historic sites are wonderful in character and make learning fun. Weve also enjoyed the lunch on the lawn and the various barbecues. Whats NOT to love about the George Ranch?

I went as a Chaperone for my daughtersSchool field trip and our experience was Very Educational!Kudos to the staff for opening their lives to us and sharing a rendition of the Late 1800s and after!Also Kudos to the Cook! LoL. They serve lunch there as well and that particular day, The Sloppy Joe and Apple Pie was Amazing!

Went for the Texian Market Days with great battle reenactments on Jones Stock Farm with Santa Ana and Polly Ryons brush with the Civil War battle. There were many dressed up characters for interactive activities, tours and displays. We toured 5 houses, watched cattle demonstrations, and enjoyed the cannons. The ranch has an awesome history and captures true Texan ranch history.

I loved the history that was presented here. The people dressed up in the era of clothing and stories was great. Made you feel like you really were there in that time period.

Always an amazing place to visit

Beautiful landscape on a beautiful spring day. Was a self guided walking tour from house to house. We only actually went in 1 house for a tour, my kids are 2 and 5 and lack the patience for that kind of thing. However, we enjoyed the walk and other activities going on. We got a cutting from a plant, fed the chickens, pet baby goats, saw a cattle show, played cattle and Cowboys (tag) with the workers, took a ride on the tram, and the kids got some great souvenirs. Overall, a great trip. We would have stayed longer if the restaurant had been open. We will be back!

Grew up not far from this ranch and had never heard of it. Very nice but our tour group did not allocate sufficient time to visit all the various home sites. Worth doing again.

They were having Texian Days when we visited. Nice day trip.

Ehh. For $40 entry fee for my wife and myself I expected a little more. The houses are nice to see, but if not that interesting. I enjoyed spending my day with my wife but could have done that at Brazos Park where we were intending to go or anywhere else. My main complaint is the entry fee. $20 for both and bit $40 and I would have been ok with it. Still I probably wont be back.

Nice experience. They offer tours

Let us try cornbread people are friendly got to ride bus

Loved it! Great history and beautiful walking place.

Awesome place!! The people here are great and the history is amazing! Look out for the Gators!!!

Living history! My kids had a good time interacting with the people on the ranch. They had so much information about the Ranch and its early history. Lots of chances to see farm animals and many hands-on opportunities to explore.

Great time shows how they really lived back in the old days. Very amazing to go back in time. They also stay in character quite well.

Cool place for Texas history buffs

Great park with guided tours of several houses from different eras. It is very well maintained and agreeable, the lunch buffet is really good and all the staff is very friendly. There is a nice cowboy show to watch

We had a great time! It was more fun than I expected. Learning about this family and seeing how (well to do) Texans lived through the years was neat.

Great experience for kids and adults. Learn of life before Wi-Fi, phones, cars and indoor bathrooms. We are so blessed...

Very educational and yet extremely fun. Definitely a place to visit for both adults and children

So nice to spend your valuable and good time over there. They maintain the place alive. Please visit once especially with kids. They are friendly

What a beautiful place. The history of this place it awesome. Great way to see how the native Texas people of that time lived. You must go, at least once in your life.

Amazing family time! We took the kiddos to the Ranch yesterday and had a great time together! The Jones family cabin from the 1830s was our first stop. The fire place was at its best, and the Jones sisters were so amazing in telling us the stories, how they threaded cotton, where threads colors came from, how they where made, and the kids were allowed to touch.The second stop was a texan post - civil war house. Simply gorgeous! The kids loved the treehouse in the 180 year old oak tree. And I better dont tell you more and let you experience it yourself. We finished our day with a picnic right in front of the Cattle Complex.Simply amazing! Amazing staff, amazing place, amazing souvenirs, amazing everything! Loved it! I would recommend it to everyone!

Soo much fun. Would go again

Beautiful place close to Houston.

Nice calm place. Great tours that offer extensive amount of information. Be aware of surroundings if walking the trails. Gators are present.

Beautiful scenic location with a rustic vibe.

As a volunteer in my daughters field trip with elementary school, I found the stuff very impatient with the students rude some how and we didnt see much there . Not worth your time or money.

Really neat living history....had a blast! Very informative

Been here many times and still love it. Here are FOUR(!) period houses for your exploration, plus fully functioning farms at each. Plan to be here for at least four hours.

Great place to visit. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

It is a good historical park. The people are friendly and informative.

Really nice place with history

The Chuck wagon lunch and learn is worth it

Very nice ranch, worth a trip, the tours of the houses are amazing.

Good place to see and understand texas history. Went here on the texas market days event which was on 20th october. The civil war re-enactment was simply awesome. Also the dance group was good.

I went here for a field trip amazing experience

I went to this place due a school field trip, we were a big group of first grade students (Elementary school with a high number of Hispanic students), teachers and a big number of parents-volunteers to assist teachers. Since beginning of trip, you need to enter into the gift shop in order to be able to access facilities, so... gift shop’s staff didnt welcome us properly as other places we have visited where they greet you and make you feel comfortable, they looked at us as if we were stranger who were there to steal something. I understand that we had little children but I can promise that parents and teacher were taking care of those little hands, plus our children know how to respect and honor others.Then a gentleman (playing a English Ranger character) warned everyone that this is not a Chuck e cheese facility or a feeding zoo, stated rules and procedures (at that point- I agreed with that rules because we went there to learn about Texass history).So, we started the journey each first grade group took separate ways. I confirmed that there is long perimeters for walk, really long, property has pretty good maintenance, you will be able to take pretty photos of big sections of land, amazing cabins with a lot of interesting details, make sure to bring enough water because there is no water fountains (except at gift shop there is one nearby to the bathrooms). If you are bringing children who are not accustomed to walk, make sure to bring stroller or a wagon to carrier them.Then our group have stopped on Mr. Georges house, these is a beautiful house filled of interesting details and exciting stories. Unfortunately our tour guide was not friendly, except to the final of tour; when we have stepped outside there is a draw-well that you can use (thanks GOD) to have a little moment of fun.And so, we have stopped to the first cabin whom was occupied by another school group, so we were honoring the group and waiting for our turn, then an Senior woman, whom unfortunately showed that had not been properly trained to deal with elementary students due she didnt have patient; she had asked us to do not talk, do not drink water, do not make any sound with plastic bottles, stay quiet....OMG! We were stand up in the land waiting for our turn not at the church. But ok! We have honored procedures. She started to give us a short description about what we are seeing like an example the cabins build process. Then our turn came, we were excited about what we would hear, but the gentleman who initially explained to us procedures, turned really rude and ask us - What are you guys looking here? So the teacher apologized and so confused because his reaction said: well! I guess we are here to listen whatever you would like to share with us, Sir!Really rude he said: Well! I don’t know what you want to hear from me, whatever I would like to say, she already told you so?-. At that point I felt really upset and sad because since beginning of trip, the way they treated us was really obvious. Racism...Finally we have stopped in a little white cabin which has chickens and piggy’s, we were greeted by a nice Senior gentleman (A big man, white skin color, long white beard) Whom was the only person in that ranch who treated us with respect, a big smile, courtesy without care of our race or skin color and gave us a lot of information about George Ranchs history, he made us feel well welcome, children and parents agreed that he was the best part of trip. He was properly trained to work with childrens group.
