As diehard Dallas fans, this was a must for us!!! We had an absolutely amazing time at the legendary Southfork. The staff was wonderfully knowledgeable about the show, the cast, the history and they treated us with such kindness. It is a memory that will last a lifetime for all of us!!

Many thanks to Betty and the team for a fun memorable stay at South fork ranch. It was amazing to have BoBo looking after us and serving as a fantastic JR steak and wonderful breakfast at miss Ellies table outside. The private tour and stories were very interesting and watching dallas dvds in jock and JRs chairs a bit surreal!! As was sleeping in JRs bed!! Had a great time very friendly staff and a real one of experience which my wife loved as a dallas fan would definitely recommend worth every penny. Thanks Betty you and the team are fantastic and made the stay Neil & JAQUI

Seeing Southfork has been on my bucket list since the 80s when I watched the show in Germany with my parents. Watching Dallas was my first introduction to American culture. My experience clearly wasn't unique because our tour group consisted of people from all over the world, and only one American couple. I had expected we would be the only visitors but quite to the contrary, there were bus loads of tourists. From the large parking lot, you fist enter a modern visitor center where souvenirs and tour tickets are sold. There is a small museum with pictures, video and props from the show. The gun used to shoot JR anyone? A white tram then takes you to the house, with some commentary along the way. The house is so small in real life. Both our tram driver and our tour guide were engaging and made the tour interesting by telling stories about filming, both about the stars and the actual owners. Turns out only outdoor scenes were actually filmed here in the summer. Pictures are allowed everywhere, you can even sit at the famous breakfast table and have your picture taken by the pool. After the tour you are free to roam the grounds and see Jock Ewings' car in a side building. On the way out, we took some pictures in front of 'gate 3" the famous Southfork gate seen in every episode that faces the main road. Even my husband, who has never seen the show, enjoyed the experience. Look Mom, I went to Southfork!

It is what it is. If you are a Dallas TV series junkie, it's heaven. They have a separate museum area outside the house with walls filled with photos and news clips, and video of parts of the shows. It is showing it's age, but they are making an effort to keep it going through horse rides and a large event area for weddings, etc.

If you grew up watching Dallas, Southfork is a must see. They offer tours every hour on the quarter hour. The price is $20.00 per adult. I have now taken the tour twice in the past 188 months and I learned something new from each tour guide both times. Unfortunately, the house is a lil more warn than it was in the fall of 2023 so you can no longer go out on the sundeck to view the pool or go out on the upper level patio on the front of the home. Despite these two facts it was still a great tour and I am glad I did it again for a second time.

South Fork Ranch is a amazing. The First Ever Rodeo done by Celina Chamber was absolutely amazing. But I want to call out Hector and Sam from the hospitality company. They were absolutely fantastic. Both men are outstanding and their staff went above and beyond. Thank you

Southfork hosted the 1st PRCA Rodeo in Collin County and the first for Rodeo Celina! The rodeo started on May 31 and ended on June 2, 2024. From set-up to take down, Southfork employees were there helping in every capacity. The Southfork Hospitality and Kitchen Teams took care of hundreds of volunteers, cowboys, cowgirls and VIP's. Sammy and Hector took care of everything! Can't wait to host RodeoCelina again next year!

This was on my wife’s bucket list and it did not disappoint. She and her father used to watch this when it was aired and this was a must do. We visited in the aftermath of a tornado which in itself, was an experience. The tour guides were absolutely fantastic and were walking, talking encyclopaedias. South fork is not as big as portrayed on television but it did not disappoint. We had full access to the house and got to see where JR slept and, spoiler alert, where he was shot! If you have time and are a fan, go. Texas tours were exceptional throughout.

Booked the Live and Dream Like A Ewing as a present for my husband. At over $2500 for an overnight stay, it was expensive but it was going to be a one off thing. Arrival was at 3pm. We waited in the visitor centre until almost 4pm as they were running late. The centre has a small museum which is interesting and a shop. Apparently Lorimar won't allow them to sell anything relating to the original tv series so the items on sale simply say Dallas or Southfork. Our booking included a tour. Tour is a few empty buildings on the ranch, a small house used in a spin-off Dallas (which I don't think has ever been broadcast in UK), Jock's car and the family house from the show. At the time of filming this was a privately owned family home so only the outside shots were filmed there, inside stuff at the studios. That said I expected the dining room, lounge, bedrooms etc to be decorated as they were in the show for the purposes of the tours. None of the inside decor is the same. And it's very small inside. For Dallas fans it is cool being able to sit on the same furniture on the patio, even the awnings are the same, but the furniture is rusty and the pool hasn't been maintained. It is in an awful state and very, very small. Mirrors were used to create the illusion of a huge pool. We were told to leave by 8.30am the following morning so they can set up for the next tours. We were given a steak dinner which was way too big, half of went in the bin. After dinner a bucket of popcorn, snacks and soft drinks along with a few dvds to watch in the living room on the tv. All in all it was quite a let down. I expected a lot more authenticity because the cost was so high.

This was an interesting tour for those that loved Dallas and those (me) that didn't watch it. Alesha our tour guide provided very interesting tidbits and hearing the history of the property was great. It is amazing to see the size of everything compared to what is seen on TV. Deb and Fabiola in the gift shop were super friendly and helpful. Isabella did great driving the tractor bringing guests to the house.
