My wife and I are fans of the show and really enjoyed our tour of Southfork earlier this week. Our guide Chris was amazing and had many behind the scenes stories which were fun to hear. Thank you for preserving this piece of American history!

You can buy a ticket online or in the gift shop. While you wait for a tram that takes you to the mansion, you have time to visit a small museum.At the mansion we met Gayle. She shared with us lots of interesting stories and fun facts. Thank you Gayle! You were amazing!

It's fascinating to walk around the set of a series that once ran for years. Dallas is a very enjoyable big farm, like being transported back to those times. ?Rooms: It is impressive that it has been preserved intact and as it was during the filming of the TV series.

I would not call this a hotel for everybody who used to watch the show Dallas it is a museum and you can stay overnight I guess if you would like to. This is very cool to see all this when I was growing up watching this TV series and now seeing it all in person. There is a lot to see here.

Southfork Ranch has been around for a while, and when we finally decided to check it out, we were astounded that it was so close to us. When we went there, we took a tour to decide if it would be a good spot for our little staycation. Turns out, it was the best choice we could have made. The rooms are clean and it's nice and quiet there.Nearby activities: Horses are a lot of fun!

I went to the South Fork Ranch with my parents and aunt in the late 1980s and saw it from a distance just like the view that you get when you see the entrance of South Fork Ranch on the popular award-winning show "Dallas." I'm currently writing a book about the popular show that ran 13 seasons from the late '70s to early 90's. It will be a detailed analysis of the plot and characters in which I argue that the Dallas show was the closest thing to Shakespearen tragedy that night time dramatic television has ever been. It includes a look at all the characters and many of the specific scenes and episodes that made the show great including a more psychological view of the significant themes that occur throughout the lifetime of the series. I hope to release the book by Spring of 2024.

Amazing experience !! We came all the way from Florida to experience the horse riding trail and it was amazing. Thank you to Karen for being an amazing and very patient teacher. The ranch is beautiful. Recommend 100%

I toured Southfork Ranch in October 2023. You can pay a lot to go through a tour company or simply buy your own ticket in the gift shop, no reservations required. While you wait for a tram that takes you to the mansion, you have time to visit a small museum of interesting displays (pages of scripts from the show, the set prop "gun" that shot J.R., Lucie's wedding dress, etc). Every hour (10:15, 11:15, etc.) a tram leaves from the gift shop to take you to the mansion. Here we were met by Gayle, who gave an intro of the mansion and grounds, and shared lots of fun facts about the show. Then we were on our own to stroll the mansion and grounds. Gayle was terrific and even took photos of us in front of the mansion. If you were a fan of the show, you'll enjoy this tour.

While this place is interesting and worth a visit if you are a healthy adult fan, the house tour guide was absolutely not accommodating or polite to an elderly lady with mobility issues or to a child who didn’t seem to be bothering anyone but her. Overall there were 10 people in our tour and 6 of them were dismissed by the tour guide… while the child was “politely” dismissed. The lady with mobility issues was really pointed out to the rest of our group as “not being able to get off the tram”. Young people and people with disabilities matter too. They paid the same price as everyone else. So. They pocketed the $98 in tour tickets for these people and did not provide an adequate experience in any way.I will say the tractor/tram driver was extremely nice and pleasant and helped the elderly lady off the tram and they provided a golf cart when she was ready to go back. Two stars for this reason only. Otherwise negative stars.This woman came to this tour for a reason. She did not deserve to be treated this way. She should have been included and not made to feel like she is “less” because she is disabled. This treatment is what keeps people sitting at home rather than experiencing life and seeing things that have meaning to them.Do better.The grounds were nice to walk. I just can’t get over the treatment of that woman. Even if I can possibly overlook the treatment of the child, who could have cared less if he got the tour or not

We just went on a horseback trail ride at Southfork Ranch and had so much fun! The hospitality by the clerks once we arrived at the Visitor Center was more than welcoming. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Caitlin was our trail guide and she was phenomenal. Excellent trainer

I had a meeting with a customer in Wylie in the afternoon, so I had about three hours of free time before the meeting, so I searched Tourist Attractions near Wylie, and there was a Southfork Ranch not far away.It was the filming location for the TV series "Dallas" which aired on CBS for 13 years from 1978 to 1991.I've never watched "Dallas" and I don't plan to watch it in the future, but it is said to be a very famous series that has been translated into 56 languages around the world.I toured with tourists from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Congo as well as the United States.The experience of tram riding pulled by a tractor to J.R. Ewing's mansion was fun.The tour took about an hour and 20 minutes, and it was an unforgettable experience. ?
