Only open in the summer months, so check before planning a visit. It's a nice little natural history area on the edge of Garden of the Gods Park. The docents dress in period costume and give tours of 3 time-period buildings. More

This ranch is so neat! We enjoyed the trails you can walk on, the buildings and the livestock. Would be great to go there for one of the festivals they have! More

Have gone here for some special events. My favorite is the 4th of July celebration - like stepping back in time. More

You don't just walk around Rock Ledge Ranch, you walk into history. Each stop, from the Native America area to the blacksmith shop has authentic looking actors telling you about life during the settlement of this area. Bring your walking shoes and an umbrella to keep the hot colorado sun off! More

Went during fall for their pumpkin patch, fall festival. Won't waste my time again and...it was even free that day! Boring. They tried hard to capture your attention, they just couldn't pull it off. My kids are 8 and 6 and they were not entertained, at all! More

I went with my younger son on a school field trip, and I even learned a thing or two--that from a history minor. On a warm day, we also enjoyed having a picnic on the lawn, and there is an off-leash dog park right next door. More

The Rock Ledge Ranch is fun for all ages. It's a living history farm. Learn about history (from 1775-1907) while walking around the grounds and through the homes. There are special events throughout the year and family membership is inexpensive. More
