This place is usually missed by many because it's off tothe side of the freeway. But we were so glad we stopped here after a 12 hour drive. It doesn't have any big signs nor charge anything. It's just good fun for picture taking and stretch your legs. Takes 15-20 min. More

A bunch off cadillacs ramed into the ground in the middle of a field beside the highway just outside Amarillo. Sounds crazy and looks crazy, too! Sadly, this landmark is so old that there isn't too much left of the cars. One or two look as if the spray paint alone keeps them from falling apart. But it was fun... More

We loved our visit to the Cadillac Ranch. Please be sure to take a can of spray paint with you. My wife and I never sprayed graffetti before and it was such fun. Loved it. More

It's one of those things you just have to do if you're already close by. It's kitschy, it's kinda off the wall, and that's what makes it fun. It's just a bunch of rusted, painted over Cadillacs sticking out of the west Texas farmland. It's so jarring with the rest of the countryside, though. There are no signs - you... More

I walked out here from the Westerly most bus stop and it took almost an hour, in the freezing cold! Its well worth a visit, and can't be missed if you're in town, but do yourself a favour and drive or take a cab...I was on a tight budget but it was worth near hypothermia! More

When we finally found the place (had to asked for directions - no signs), it was fun. I partically like the sign just outside the gate "Graffiti is illegal"... And then you get to to 10 buried cars, and grafitti is all over .... And if you forgot your spray cans, don't worry - there are a lot just laying... More

You will go here, with plenty of spray paint, and have the time of your life. It's free. You drive up, walk in, and paint away. It's that simple. Talk with other visitors, have a great time. Take photos of what you've done, because it'll be covered over in a matter of minutes by the next crew of visitors. It's... More

Cadillac Ranch is one of those places that I had seen a million times in books or on TV. To actually park and walk through the cattle gate to this masterpiece was so awesome! We did not take our own spray-paint, but there was plenty to be found at the site itself. Beware of windy days, though! My arm was... More
