Big Thunder Ranch – Presented by Brawny
Get up close with some friendly critters at Big Thunder Ranch, a charming little petting zoo located alongside Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue.
Animals
Inspired by the western ranches of the 1880s, Big Thunder Ranch features a small wooden ranch house and petting barnyard where young cowpokes can meet and pet barnyard animals, such as cows, goats, sheep, donkeys and pigs. From time to time, the ranch has even served as home to the Thanksgiving turkeys pardoned by the President of the United States.
Holidays
When the holiday season rolls around, Big Thunder Ranch is transformed into Santa's Reindeer Round-up, complete with real reindeer, crafts and the merriest couple of all — Santa and Mrs. Claus.
